S'funny, over the years I've read several fan theories of how Ben Reilly could be brought back and often they involve Ben going down a darker path. Perhaps because fans instinctively realise there's there's little point to having Ben back in modern day without setting him apart from Peter and frankly this has worked well for similar dead-forever characters like Bucky and Jason Todd. Still with Marvel actually does it...it becomes a different story. |

So, nothing scientific to draw conclusions on, but I haven't found the majority you're talking about. (I know everything I've heard and read about it has made me more and more reinforced in my decision to not read it, so that could be my bias.) Quote:

Also, what exactly is it about Clone Conspiracy that makes it such a compelling read to you? The Spider-Verse elements are the only really interesting thing about it, everything else is the typical "Plot makes an ineffective idiot out of Peter Parker" story that Slott has become renowned for |

Also I'm not overly keen on the whole Carrion virus going global aspect of the story. I get that Slott wants to show the high stakes involved, heck most of his run is Spidey going big but with so many familiar faces back it might have been better to keep this story a bit more personal in it's presentation. To be clear I don't object to these elements but it might have been better to just have Kaine back and maybe bring out Spider-Gwen in say the latest issue of Clone Conspiracy. As for what I like about it? Well it's an interesting premise, I'd prefer something more than psychic imprint as an explanation of why these aren't just clones but the idea of exploring what if Peter could bring the people killed by his actions and in-actions back from the dead is worth exploring. It's steeped in Spider-Man history and frankly while I do agree with some fan complaints that Peter is an "inaffective idiot" under Slott's pen I don't really see anything in the story to support that. Perhaps you can enlighten me on why you think this? |
