Who actually like the Spider-Man: Clone Saga with Ben Reilly?

Question

Tell me if you liked the story and let me know why if you want to.

Answer 1

The clone saga basically ruined spider-man. The story was long and confusing, it is the reason that marvel never refrences it anylonger.

Answer 2

I liked it. Maybe it's because I only started buying comic books at that time and those were the ones that made me love Spider-Man's comics, along with Maximum Carnage and its aftermath, for example. I can't really put my finger on why I liked it, I just did. I liked all the confusion that was going on, not knowing who was who, and it turned out alright in the end, which in my opinion saved the whole saga. If Ben Reilly had turned out to be the real Peter Parker, I wouldn't have liked it for the obvious reasons... all the stories that happened in the previous 5 years of Spider-Man's life would've actually been of the clone, while the original Peter Parker would've lost everything, and that just wouldn't be right. I think what delighted me the most was to see two Spider-Men kicking butt instead of just one. Together, they were an awesome team, and it all seemed so much easier, even when confronted with some of the most dangerous foes, such as Carnage, for example. I grew fond of Ben Reilly and I really liked the Scarlet Spider and all those Spider-Man variations, and a part of me was saddened when he finally died because after all, he had developed into his own character and was no longer just the clone. However, what I really liked was the much more recent J. Michael Straczynski phase that introduced Ezekiel and redefined the origins of Spider-Man and of his powers... now THAT was awesome storytelling, and actually made me like John Romita Jr.'s art, which I hated a few years before. Another awesome Spider-Man phase was that of Todd McFarlane.
