The Family Kraven seemed to make sure Reilly's history...but this is comics, so no one's ever really dead. Hear that Marvel-! Raise Night Crawler from the dead...and Cable too.

It better not be a Spider-Gwen. The first clone was bad enough.

Bring Back Ben! The one character people actually want to be resurrected.

Even though he came from quite a crappy storyline, I love the character!

ScionStorm - 8/19/2011, 2:13 PM
Gay? lol who would he date?

If there was a gay clone of Peter I think he should be like Jack Harkness. :P

@Teabag- I thought those maids were SpideyDude's not his mom's. ;P

Sure bring him back, the more confusion the better.

@ Knight3000: dude, enough already with the Conan videos.

@Tea- Looks like the Maria Hill in that picture got a good look Ben. Too bad she lost an eye in the process.

If they bring back back Ben Reilly, I'm gonna drop ASM fast! As far as I'm concerned Amazing is barely hanging on with all the crappy art and weak storytellng.
ScionStorm
ScionStorm - 8/19/2011, 3:58 PM
^Drop it like it's hot! Because it will be if Ben returns.

Boy Marvel never learns do they? This is the reason why I quit on Spider-Man and Marvel. And what's scarier is that the majority of fans actually want the clone back. In other words, I guess they didn't mind that Marvel made us believe that Ben was the real Spidey missing all these years and that Peter was the clone. If this is gonna be the case for real, Marvel's more fcuked up than usual. I guess Marvelites are a glutton for punishment. Check please.

@skullboy- did you really just come here to whine and insult people? Because you failed at doing anything else.

Clones and resurrections. Thats what makes the Comic world go round.

Gotta agree 100% with Skullboy on this one!
skullboy
skullboy - 8/19/2011, 7:13 PM
@ScionStorm, I didn't curse or insult anyone so if you're offended that's your problem.
ScionStorm
ScionStorm - 8/19/2011, 8:13 PM
I didn't say you cursed. Oh well, I'm not taking your words to heart. So it doesn't matter.

Yes bring him back!!! I may get some flack for this, but I prefer Ben Reilly to the original Peter Parker. I never read more monthly Spider-man comics than when Ben Reilly became Spider-man!

It's funny how the clone saga is critically one of the worst story arcs in Spider-Man history, yet everyone wants Ben back.
