Yeah, judging by what I've heard, Peter David has a good writing plan in place in regards to where the Ben clone has been left by Slott (at least it sounds like he's trying to writing something that has more depth than the run of the mill comic). But, I think that it's kind of suffering from the same problem of the root story; does Ben Reilly (or a clone of Ben Reilly) work as a well-intentioned villain? From what I know, the answer is "no."
