Buzzetta Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 It is so long that the Marvel Unlimited App pays for itself just by you reading the main prelude, main storyline, side arcs, and aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 If I recall, that was the period I stopped collecting Spidey. So, no, it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Aldred Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) No. The saga started out okay, but after a few months it felt as if the writers were making it up as they were going along and dragging the storyline out blatantly and unnecessarily, to the point where it became an unstructured, empty, frustrating and tedious read. On and on, to milk the idea for every penny. In that sense, classic 90s speculation era product. I didn't like it.

The one from the 90’s not so much. When I read the Conway books again I was surprised at how little clone material there was; basically a few pages, here and there, until you get to the conclusion. But, a highpoint from a great run of Bronze Age Spider-Man comics. piper, dupont2005 and kav 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupont2005 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I liked what I have read of it. Never got a tpb collecting it (until recently which I gifted) but I had some ASM issues from the era and they were preferable to the stuff that followed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of the wild Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm gonna talk about most of all I have read, I found Kane to be just a fantastic character, and he even got his own run as the scarlet Spider, which I found to be heads and tails above Ben Riley" version.

MGsimba77 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 He first spots her clone in #142 from afar. The two most interesting ones which may include the most clone material is 145 & 149. The Notre Dame cathedral that burnt down is very involved at one point when Peter goes to Paris. I'm a fan of all bronze spideys so obviously I love the idea of a Gwen clone. If for nothing else check it out for the Andru artwork! piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
