Well, pretty much shocking NO ONE...

 

 

[Daith]

He had been quiet since before Superior Spidey and with his last scheme he had to have something to top it. Though this is definitely more to his style this time around. Sad though I have yet to have a Spider-Woman book starring

Spoiler

MJ yet. Loved the Spider Island cover with her wearing the Spidey tank top.   Though with Spider-Gwen occasionally running through the main marvel-verse (is it still called 616?) How much would ol Miles go nuts of why he hadn't thought of that idea?

I think the Jackal was up to some stuff during Superior Spider-Man, he showed up in one of the team-up issues.

[Daith]

Ok, I only read the main title so if he did pop up in the Team Up book I wouldn't of known.

[Verity Carlo]

Yeah, looking through, he showed up in both the Team Up issues and some of Kaine's issues which were inter connected.

[Wildwade]

Yeah, he hinted he was creating a new Spidercide.  Let's hope that didn't pan out.

[Daith]

Ugh. I just read the revamped how it should have been Clone Saga revamp miniseries and one of the major pluses was the lack of Spidercide. Really the only downside to the revamp was the lack of time with Ben in his Spider-man costume and the fact that he survives unlike the in canon version which makes me want to replace years of canon with this.

Is it true that Uncle Ben's returning? Let him be dead, not everybody has to return from death.

[Daith]

Well it wouldn't be the first time. But if it is true it will most likely be a clone of Ben considering who we are dealing with.

[Internet Jesus]

Screw Uncle Ben. Bring back BEN REILLY.

[Daith]

So 2 issues into the Clone Conspiracy and Jackal is acting pretty benevolent. Really this is the writers way of coping out of killing off so many characters over the years. It's almost a tad insulting. On the other hand if it possibly brings back Ben I'd love them forever. But Kaine has finally made his comeback along with another Web Warrior bringing warnings that not all as is it seems with Jackal's operation. Would like to know what Kaine has been up to since the end of Spider-Verse especially since he was no where to be seen during the Web Warriors series.

[Shockprowl04]

It was nice to see Kaine is not secretly the Jackal, as some were speculating, what with the red suit and stubble.

[Daith]

That was a thing? Well you never know.....it could be Ben

[DARYL with periods]

I swear if this somehow leads to the resurrection of the ACTUAL Uncle Ben as some sort of Deathlok thing, I will buy this book forever. 

[Verity Carlo]

I'm kinda disappointed Doc Ock is back to his old self but it's good thus far I guess

[Daith]

Ya like I said this is a cop out of all the deaths they've had over the years. I'm sure not all of the resurrections will stick but most of them will most likely be the classic villains. Though already taking Max out as Electro and giving it to his GF was a change.

 

Preview for next weeks ASM is up on Newsarama and shows Kaines time between Spider-verse and now.

Sadly it seems the Other being part of him was staving off his clone degeneration and after it's sacrifice whatever is happening here could potentially be Kaine's path to a prolonged existence

[Shockprowl04]

I can't imagine they'd bring Kaine back just to kill him again.  The letters page even mentions that he's the one guy they get tons of requests for to return.  And while I'm sure the Other was part of it, wasn't he also resurrected by the Jackal like twice?  I remember in Spider-Island, the Jackal said something along the lines of Kaine's degeneration actually being an out of whack REGENERATION factor.  Whatever, I do hope he sticks around and goes and finishes the dangling plot threads from his own series.  I wonder if Aracely is still hanging with the New Warriors or if they are even still a thing post Secret WArs...

Today's Amazing Spider-Man # 21...

Kaine's on borrowed time. He's degenerating again.

And now I think I'm shipping him and Spider-Gwen. Great.

[Daith]

Isn't Spider-Gwen and Miles supposed to be getting friendly pretty soon though
