PREVIEW: SPIDER-MAN: REIGN #4 (of 4)

Witness the stunning conclusion to the book that has been too hot too stay on the shelves in Spider-Man: Reign #4. The first and second issues of this smash hit have soldout at Diamond, prompting a second printing of each. And then the second printing of the first issue sold out at Diamond as well, solidifying the series as one of the most buzz-worthy of the new year.
Corey Brotherson of Comixfan.com calls Spider-Man: Reign “a well-made, adventurous, visceral and downright engaging series.”
Steve Ekstrom of Newsarama.com says, “Spider-Man: Reign should be considered a standard bearer for any of Marvel’s futuristic tales starring any of its time honored roster. If that’s not a strong enough recommendation…then I don’t know what else I could say. Please go out and buy this mini-series!”
Kaare Andrews’s chilling look into Spider-Man’s future has left fans amazed at the sight of a feeble and aged Peter Parker forced back into the mantle of Spider-Man and the conclusion in issue #4 is one that can’t be missed.
See why Venom has gone to such great lengths to lure Spider-man out. Can an elderly Spider-man defeat the vicious and sinister symbiote? Or will another hero have to step up to save the city?
This is an issue that fans cannot miss. If Spider-Man: Reign #4 is anything like its predecessors, this issue is sure to fly off the shelves so make sure you secure your copy!
Retailers are advised to rethink their orders on this final issue as every other issue has been a major sellout.

PREVIEW: Casualty of Civil War in Moon Knight #8

The Civil War shows up at Moon Knight's door in Moon Knight #8, but just whose side is Marc Spector on?
Three months ago, Marc Spector found himself. He learned to cope with his pain and return as the vigilante Moon Knight. Now, he's back on the job and handing out beatings to anyone stupid enough to break the law.
Unfortunately for him, the times are changing. The Superhuman Registration Act means that now, there are rules to the game that Moon Knight plays - rules that he won't like. When a fugitive Captain America shows up, wanting a word, will Marc Spector forget the "fun stuff" and get involved in Civil War after all?
The second story arc of the best-selling title Moon Knight brings guest stars galore and ties into the Civil War causing havoc throughout the Marvel Universe. But the super hero Civil War isn't the only thing on Moon Knight's mind. Someone is leaving clues for him at old crime scenes and the clues are…bodies? And old face from Spector's past is about to return and they have a large axe to grind.
Join best-selling author Charlie Huston and superstar artist David Finch as they continue Moon Knight's return to prominence in Moon Knight #8.
