COMICS: It Looks Like We're Getting Another CLONE SAGA As Marvel Reveals SPIDER-MAN: DEAD NO MORE Details
Marvel has revealed the first details about Spider-Man: The Clone Conspiracy as the wall-crawler looks set to go up against The Jackal and a long list of people he's lost over the years...
Ever since the title was relaunched, Amazing Spider-Man has been dropping some pretty major hints abot the next big event story for the wall-crawler. A mysterious man in a red mask has been bringing characters from Peter Parker's past back from the dead, but it turns out that "Dead No More" is actually going to be titled "The Clone Conspiracy", an apparent follow-up to The Clone Saga.
The Jackal will be the big bad of this tale, but it sounds like he has than just cloning on his mind these days. In fact, it looks like he'll be stepping up a real big bad for Spidey. "The Jackal has always seemed to be obsessed with cloning Spider Man and Gwen. He’s had a very narrow focus," writer Dan Slott says. "That’s led to very interesting stories in the past, but you have to stop and think, if you’re The Jackal and you take science to the next level, what’s more important to you than just cloning Gwens and Peters? What does this character want, and what’s he going to do with this awesome science?"
According to Entertainment Weekly, "The Clone Conspiracy" will be a five issue miniseries written by Slott and with art by Jim Cheung. Issue #1 hits stands in October, and the main series will be building up to that over the next few months. Inevitably, there's going to be a long list of tie-ins to go with it. I gave up on Amazing Spider-Man a while ago, and the prospect of more long dead characters being resurrected doens't really excite me, but there's definitely lots to be intrigued by here. Thoughts?
