Koete Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'd buy a Scarlet Spider hoodie in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Wait... So this is a retelling of the clone saga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Yep. "As it was meant to be told" apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Same here, but I'd prefer it if the hoodie was black with a blue logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Sweeeeeeeeet. This would explain why they've never released a compilation of the Clone Saga in trade format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 So, basically a lot of people are waiting for the trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 The sad thing is that The Clone Saga seems a million time better now in comparison to One More Day. I miss a few years back when Peter Parker just thought he was a clone instead of being the kind of guy to make deals with the devil. So, I might give the trade a glance if I see it. Tom Defalco did do Spider-Girl so I have to think it will be written well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Yep. "As it was meant to be told" apparently. It would have been better had they told it "as it was meant to be told" the first time. :laugh: I miss a few years back when Peter Parker just thought he was a clone instead of being the kind of guy to make deals with the devil. IIRC, one of the things people complained about with the Clone Saga is that the Spider-Man they had been reading for the last 20 years was not the real deal. (Before they switched it back, anyway.) But that at least doesn't radically change continuity and undo one of the biggest swerves the comic industry has ever seen, that being the unmasking of Peter Parker. It doesn't undo 20 years of Spider-Man being marred by editorial fiat. With the Clona Saga, all the history was still there. "One More Day" will be remembered as one of the worst storylines in comic history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 So roughly, Spidey has a twenty year shelf life. This has happened twice in a row now. So, sometime in the early 2030s (no later) I expect to see a story involving Spider-Man raping his daughter with Thor's hammer because "It's the only way to bring Unlce Ben back!"

Stavros Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Will read for Ben Reilly. I wanted one of those hoodies so bad back when I was reading this. Ben Reilly is the reason I like comics, I started reading around the time Doc Ock was killed and everyone thought Peter was the clone.

I would buy a fucking poster of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Dread, if Marvel prints that story, we will all blame you for giving them the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
