Only in the sense that every big comic event leads to fan outrage and disappointment. I don't think that it's what the majority of readers think and for me personally while I could do without the Spider-verse elements (although I liked that story at the time and it makes sense in getting Kaine back) Clone Conspiracy has been a solid read so far.

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.
