Spider-Man: Reign could have been titled Spider-Man: The Dark Spider Returns. It owes a lot to Frank Miller, and yet is nowhere near as good as Dark Knight.

Check out theSecret Headquarters(my store) website! It's a pretty lame website, but I did it myself, so tough noogies
Listen toWOXY.com, it's the future of rock-n-roll!
Wow. The only one of those that stands out at all for me is "The Final Adventure" and that's only because it supposedly takes place in Portland. I say "supposedly" because it seemed like neither the writer nor the artist did any research at all into Portland.
I'm in the minority of people who liked Spider-man Reign. It's very similar to Dark Knight Returns in terms of story and even art. It's not as good as DKR, I'll agree. I still thought it was interesting and enjoyed who the main villain was. I'm sure a better late years Spidey story has already come along or will come along. But as a long-time web head, I was satisfied.
This had interesting computer-generated art. It was fun to read. Also a great snake-themed villainess. Unusually, it's a Lizard story that wasn't as boring as hell. Of all Spider-man's villains that weren't created in the 90's I hate him the most. He's so one-note, and that lab coat? Add crimes against fashion to his many faults.
Of course its a while since I read it, so I don't know how much of the above was in the comic and how much is just from my head...
The Lost Years, is about the clone isn't it? Nuff said...

Lethal Foes of SM
Good mini's focusing on the villains. I think Lethal was the first mini and was much better than the sequel, but both are still very good.
Breakout
I liked this story. Have to be a U-Foes fan, as this mini focuses on them mostly.
Dr. Octopus: Year One
Excellent mini!
Reign
Most people on this board didn't seem to like this mini, but I enjoyed it!
The Final Adventure
The Lost Years
Don't remember much about these two mini's so that doesn't bode well.
