Spider-Man: Reign 2 #1

Kaare Andrews returns to his darkly atmospheric Spider-Man world with this 2024 opener, and the cover alone sets a haunting tone: a rain-soaked Spider-Man is engulfed by a massive, writhing symbiote creature, its tendrils cascading down what appears to be a cross or streetlight, all rendered against a grim, dystopian cityscape. Andrews handles the full creative package here — writing, art, and inks — with Brian Reber's colors deepening the brooding blues and purples that make the image feel genuinely unsettling. If the original Reign left an impression on you, this first issue promises to pull you right back into that world with force.
