February 6th, 2010The beginning of the EPIC battle between Ben and Osborn. In Amazing Spider-Man 418 we had the beginning of the battle, but the battle was never shown on the page, we know that Ben got his ass kicked, but we never saw how. So without further ado, here’s the third page:

Missing Page #2:
Clone Pic of the Day: 2.4.10
February 4th, 2010Starting today, We’re releasing a page from the Out-of-Print Spider-Man: Revelations Trade Paperback. I was able to find these scans online, through various Message Boards. Sadly, I don’t have the issue, otherwise, I’d scan them myself. So Enjoy:
To preface, all these pages are from the Peter Parker: Spider-Man 75 section of the trade. These pages take place right after Peter takes off for the the Bugle, with Ben seemingly knocked out.
The Case for Ben Reilly, Part 2
January 19th, 2010Written by Gerard Delatour II
“Redundant.” “Unnecessary.” “A slap in the face to the fans.”
The preceding three statements are all phrases I have heard describing Ben Reilly. To many people, Ben is symbolic of Marvel “losing their way” in the mid-1990s – ignoring the fact, of course, that the Clone Saga almost singlehandedly kept Marvel operating during this period.
But was Ben Reilly necessary? Let’s try to figure that out together!
Continuing our examination (heh) from last time …
No Ben Reilly Ongoing Feature in Web of Spider-Man
January 15th, 2010According to Marvel’s April solicitations, Web of Spider-Man #7 will not feature a Ben Reilly story, as many fans had hoped. It appears that the Ben Reilly feature in Web of Spider-Man #6 is, at the moment, a one-off story — though there’s a slight chance that it could be an irregular feature. Don’t cross your fingers, though …

This month, Fred Van Lente & Barry Kitson bring you the brutal training days of a young Sergei Kravinoff. See how the man became the hunter…and why a family needs his leadership more than ever. Meanwhile in the Spectacular Spider-Girl, the gang war heats up and a last page reveal that will rock Mayday Parker’s world as SOMEONE’s coming to town…and a lifelong war on crime is rekindled. And last year, the density-altering Paper Doll sliced into Spidey’s life as she stalked celebrity Bobby Carr, then boyfriend of Mary Jane Watson. Now that MJ’s back in New York…and Bobby Carr’s life has taken a huge tumble…you better believe she’s gunning for the Redhead. Can Spidey save her in time? Find out as Joe Casey and Jim Mahfood stop by to bring you PAPER CUTS!

January 5th, 2010Welcome back guys, after a long and sustained break these past few weeks and months, we’re back again with your (soon to be) Daily Dose of Clone Saga.
We’ll be recording more episodes of Clone Saga Chronicles: The Podcast for your enterainment pleasure, with Bertone, Myself, Gerard and Brandon. With a rotating group of Guests that will include (Later this year) Kevin Cushing, Jason [From the last episode] and Maybe a couple of others if time permits.

For the most part, we’ll be focusing on getting all the episodes up here on the homepage, with more articles, and reviews.
Spider-Man: The Clone Saga Trade comes out next month, so you betcha we’re going to have a review asap.
I’m also happy to annouce that we’re working on getting our first interview lined up, with an annoucement soon.
Don’t think I’ve forgotten the Articles, as they’ll be back up soon as well. These next few weeks are going to be about the catching up of the site.

An Ode to Judas Traveller
December 31st, 2009Written by Gerard Delatour II
Ah, Judas Traveller. Is there a worse character in Spider-Man history than this villain, who debuted in 1994? Well … yes, but that’s not what this article is about.
Be warned, there are spoilers to mid-90s story in here!
Web of Spider-Man #6 Solicit Reveals Ben Reilly Story
December 18th, 2009Holy moley, Reilly fans!
According to the solicit for Web of Spider-Man #6 — the anthology series that featured a Kaine story in its debut issue — the issue will feature an all-new Ben Reilly story set during his “Lost Years.” Not excited yet? It’s written by none other than J.M. DeMatteis, the spectacular spider-scribe behind Spider-Man: The Lost Years, Spider-Man: Redemption, and (of course) great runs on Amazing Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man in the 1990s, who has recently come back into the Spidey fold with stories in earlier issues of Web of Spider-Man and its now-defunct predecessor, Amazing Spider-Man Family.
As site contributor Bertone suggested in a previous episode of our very own Clone Saga Chronicles Podcast, Web of Spider-Man would be the perfect place to run an ongoing Ben Reilly feature. Could this be the first story of that feature? Is the fact that it debuts the month after Spider-Man: Clone Saga (which you should be buying and reading, by the way) ends a coincidence or a key sign? I think it’s safe to say, all Ben Reilly fans should be excited to find out!
Look out for the issue this March at your local comic book shop, or order it through your favorite online order service.
