All 3 Limited Series in One Link (MegaUpload)
Spider-Man: Reign (2006)
From Wikipedia:
“Spider-Man: Reign is a four issue comic book limited series featuring Spider-Man, written and illustrated by Kaare Andrews and published by Marvel Comics. Set 35 years into Spider-Man’s future, a retired Spider-Man returns to combat the injustices of a vastly different New York City.
On December 12, 2006 Marvel announced that issue #1 had sold out through Diamond Comic Distributors and that a second printing would be released.
The series has been compared to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, a comparison which Marvel has also quoted when promoting Reign. As well as the thematic similarities between the two stories, both of which revisit aged heroes after the end of their careers, The Dark Knight Returns is also acknowledged within the pages of Reign by the inclusion of a character named Miller Janson (the name reflects Dark Knight Returns creators Frank Miller and Klaus Janson).
The book also has several themes relevant in the post 9/11 world, most notably Mayor Waters taking control of the city of New York to protect it, and the WEBB, an energy field that seals all of New York inside it so no one can leave. Also, security levels, such as orange and yellow, appear during the storyline.”
Great quick read, clearly done as an homage to Miller and Janson. Warning!!! This is the print that clearly shows Parker’s junk… see the Wikipedia article of this comic under the heading of “Controversy” to see what I mean.

Bullet Points (2006)
From Wikipedia
“Bullet Points is a Marvel comic limited series that was published in 2006 and 2007, written by J. Michael Straczynski, illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards and lettered by John Workman. The series was released under the Marvel Knights imprint and examines the consequences to the Marvel Universe when Dr. Erskine is killed before Steve Rogers is injected with the Super-Soldier Serum and Ben Parker is killed before he raises Peter Parker.”
Another great limited series to come out during 2006! Think of an old Marvel “What if…” comic that explains how that little event shakes up the entire Marvel universe. Also, I love the classy art of Tommy Lee Edwards!

Shaun of the Dead (2005)
From Wikipedia
“IDW Publishing produced a comic book adaptation of the film written by, IDW’s editor-in-chief Chris Ryall and drawn by Zach Howard. It was published as a four-issue mini-series in 2005.”
What can I say… it’s a comic about the movie. Well drawn, great dialogue, and always entertaining…
