I ain't against it on principle. I act...Well... I ain't against it on principle. I actually started reading Spider-Man back in 1994 at the start of the 'Clone Saga' and I liked it because I liked having two Spider-MEN around for a bit and I liked the character of Ben Reilly, Peter Parker's clone.<br /><br />That said, the story is almost universally considered an artistic failure and Peter Parker was eventually re-instated in the uniform, Ben Reilly was killed and he has only rarely been heard of, let alone seen, since.<br /><br />So trying almost the same damn thing all over again? Kind of ridiculous.<br /><br />I've resisted writing a Spider-Man-focused editorial for the entire time we've had this blog, mainly because everyone I know will roll their eyes and say: 'Surprise surprise, now he's talking about Spider-Man again. This is why you shouldn't take him seriously, all he knows is Spider-Man,' but I'm beginning to really feel the itch.Jon Gorgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879045801622177884noreply@blogger.com
