Perhaps, especially when today's September sales estimate seem to hint the likes of Doom Patrol have soundly thrashed ASM in sales as well

Any news on how "Clone Conspiracy" is doing? I haven't been able to get a sense of what the general opinion is of its existence and I'm really curious about how it'll be received, esp. in comparison to RYV.

I don't like this one very much. Right now, if I was going to get a variant cover that was not tied to a specific store or region, I'd either go with the Kubert one or the action figure one.

It made number 9 this week, but was outsold by Action Comics and Wonder Woman. It should be noted that Diana wasn't even in her own title this week and Action Comics focused pretty much entirely on Lois Lane

New variant

Hmm. Well, not exactly the event of the year, but being in the top ten is hardly anything to sneeze at. It'll be interesting to see if it stays in the upper range or not; a few consistent complaints I've heard are that "Clone Conspiracy" is pretty much a remix and rehash of every other clone story written. Wonder if that'll hold true to the end or not?

Really don't like that cover.

Is it normal for a comic book to get this many variant covers?

Well Slott's been insisting we not think of it as a Clone Saga (even if the marketing has clones all over that) and even has characters in-story insist that the revived characters are "reanimates" and not clones as they have all the memories of the original up until death.

I generally just see this story as Slott fulfilling his dream of having every one of Peter's loved ones turn on him viciously, as was hinted already in the Gwen Stacy back-up story in the first issue of Clone Conspiracy.

Really don't like that cover.

What DO you like? You sound like you're extremely hard to please when it comes to covers.

Yes. You should have seen the number of variants they had for the post-superior relaunch (which coincided with the release of the ASM II movie)

So, why call it a clone story and have the characters using cloning tech, if they're not "really" clones? I've never understood this point. It seems like Slott hasn't thought out the story that well (unless there's some surprise later down the road).

If that is indeed the case, he must have different story dreams that me in regards to this franchise.

I liked the default cover for RYV #1 well enough. The Kubert and action figure versions were good, too (as I mentioned before). Really liked the exclusive with Peter and MJ hugging with the villains in the background (really annoyed that one is online only). The only ones I don't like (that I remember right now) are the hip-hop version and the one with Venom. (I also like the covers for issues two and three).

I wouldn't consider myself hard to please, it just so happens in this case that I liked more of the variant covers for the original RYV miniseries than the variants this time around.

I must've missed that. I did hear that Marvel's new Star Wars #1 got almost a hundred cover variants, which I gathered is considered excessive.

According to the info for Issue Three, it seems Annie will have to save her parents on a school night!

MJ vs T-Rex

So RYV is doing pretty well in the reorder charts, topping reorders for Clone Conspiracy and second only to Bendis' relaunch of Iron Man with Riri Williams in the role

Why is Tony taking a break from Ironman anyway? JamesRhods is a standby Ironman so its no need for the teenager.

I do hope it can be a consistent top ten showing up creative as to how people want Spider-Man.

Rhodes was killed at the beginning of Civil War II

Nice to see. Hope there'll be some copies on the shelf when I get a chance to go to the store.

According to this video, RYV takes place on Earth 18119

Couple of J.Scott Campbell variants for RYV

Apparently Venom's identity will be a mystery for a while. It is strange to have a series focus on a character,but the readers don't know who they are reading about.

What does this have to do with RYV? Yeah, there's a connection between RYV and 616 but this isn't a "Spider-Man General" thread

I was wondering if its the Venom we saw in RYV crossing over into Earth-616.

Stegman's comments in some of this are very interesting, it's clear he's trying not to spoil certain details but the line about this being a pocket universe and what he says about this being "Real Spider-Man" could be interpreted as slips

[WebLurker]

Unless he's just generally referring to the idea that the comic is its own thing and trying to tell stories that are authentic to the Spider-Man mythos.

[ZariusTwo]

I can always count on you to be the realist

Marvel are reprinting Kraven's Last Hunt next year as part of their Essentials line, Amazon lists it as coming out a few weeks before Spider-Man: Homecoming, and they're going to bundle it with ASM Annuals 20 and 21, which means they're reprinting Peter and MJ's wedding again. Hmm....

Also, it's Halloween, which means it's been twenty years real time since the death of Ben Reily, Norman Osborn's return, and, depending on your interpretation, the miscarriage/abduction of Mayday Parker
