Dark Reign: Made Men

During Marvel's 2009 "Dark Reign" era, Frank Tieri and John Paul Leon crafted this one-shot that explores the criminal underworld's reaction to Norman Osborn's rise to power. Rather than focusing on the costumed heroes and villains, "Made Men" spotlights the ordinary thugs and mobsters caught in the crossfire of Osborn's new order. Leon's gritty, atmospheric art grounds the story in the streets, making it a moody, character-driven snapshot of how power shifts affect those at the bottom of the food chain.
