BEN REILLY: SPIDER-MAN

I first started reading Spider-Man back in 1995 during the Clone Saga. I loved Ben Reilly as Spider-Man and was disappointed when they killed him.This story actually felt like one of the stories from that time. I felt like I was reading one of the original comics.It was great to see Ben's original Spider-Man costume, too. The art was pretty good.I didn't realize that Dr. Kafka knew Spider-Man's secret identity.Also, I love that the same artist drew the whole series. Too often we get more than one artist over the course of5 or 6 issues.

Better then any modern Spider-Man comics, Set in the 90s era Clone Saga when Ben was Spider-Man, 5 STARS!!!

This book was a bit of nostalgia for me the original Clone Saga is what first got me into comics full-time. The thing I liked about this book that was missing from that saga was Ben Reilly seem to transition into his new life and role as Spider-man seamlessly. Here I see his struggle because of his year as a loaner on the road, and how these life experiences made him different from Peter Parker.Ben Reilly is haunted but the shadow of Peter Parker everywhere he goes. The people he meets and the places around him. The only part of his life that feels natural is being Spider-man. However, when he is attacked by villains from both his and Peter's past who know his secret identity, the walls are torn down.It is an all-around good book, I was also glad for the villain brought back in this book. I am not a fan of everyone knowing Spider-man's identity but that is a small thing. A good edition to the original saga. Not perfect but a lot better than much of the current Spider-manchild book out recently. The book finishes with a thumbnail variant cover gallery.
