Spider-Man Reign: What's your opinion ?

That's not how radiation works. And if you want to do a story that deals with the realistic consequences of radiation you kind of do need to deal with how radiation works.

I recall enjoying Spider-Man: Reign. It felt like a highly personal vision to the author/artist. There are places where he really just goes for it--some work better than others. The Doc Ock moment--you know the one--it's like, wow, that's daaaaaaaark. And I kind of love it.

All this said, I like Life Story better as I think it's an almost perfect representation of Peter aging in real time.

I think Life Story was much better, but it still felt like it wallowed in misery more than it needed to.

Are you telling me I'm not gonna get powers if a radioactive spider bites me?

It's mostly due to the whole "radioactive semen killed Mary Jane Watson(-Parker)" revelation. A lot of people felt that was unnecessary and tasteless, though I'd argue beyond that, Spider-Man: Reign was at least decent as a story about a future Peter Parker clawing his way back from the depths of despair after having to give up being Spider-Man due to his advanced age and the loss of the woman he loved.

I wasn't as bothered by that, until I heard some middle school kids, one of whom read it on Marvel's Digital Unlimited, talking about it and realized that it could define the character in weird ways for a new generation.
