Dark Reign: The List: Amazing Spider-Man #1 (One-Shot)

It all comes down to this issue as “Dark Reign: The List” culminates in a confrontation between Norman Osborn and Spider-Man. A head-on fight between the two has been hinted at a few times before but, with “Dark Reign” winding down and the series of “List” one-shots meant to signify the first step in Osborn’s fall, this issue is actually more of a teaser to the finale, which is the upcoming "The Siege" storyline. A strong conclusion to the "Dark Reign: The List" series of one-shots from a perfectly paired and confident creative team.

Norman Osborn has saved the best for last as he takes on the most personal item on his evil To-Do list. The violent tension between Spider-Man and Norman has grown for years and has been building to a boil for the last few months after Osborn's last defeat at Spidey's hands at the end of American Son (story arc covering issues #595-599). Norman can no longer put off what needs to be done. Plus, the story from Pulse #5 outing Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin to the world. One-Shot. By: Dan Slott, Adam Kubert --
