Jesus, Ben... He's such a childish bastard. "Ben Riley is greater than Peter Parker, BLEH!"

Is it character assassination if the character was slowly poisoned over an excruciating length of time?

[blues32]

I mean, they've been doing it to Mary Jane even longer, so...yeah. It still counts.

[cyberghostface]

I think he's in a better position now than he was a few years ago where they tried to make him a full on supervillain. He had Peter's life and realized he doesn't want it anymore.

I was actually liking Kelly's run but it feels like the better ideas got rushed out the door to make room for the crossover.

[cyberghostface]

This issue does make the crossover feel like something that was pushed onto Kelly by the editors.

The " vibe-coded with A.I. " line is fair and also funny - it's an organic enough reference to that " impressive toy at best " technology, and it's also one in a setting where the wild promises/fears of the tech goofs selling that technology have actually happened.

(See also the recent Superman/Spider-Man story's bit with Doc Ock and his phone's AI assistant.)

The funny thing is that seems weirdly in character for both actual Peter* and the public perception of Peter**

*Faking photos and various other questionable things he's done over the years.

**"Stealing" Doc Ock's work for school.

Oh, for-
This is the Marvel Universe. You're telling me Peter couldn't get away with "I have a clone who keeps coming back from the dead and lately he's just turned into an absolute prat"?

Oh, wait. This is Peter. Constant, pointless, idiotic self-sabotage is all he's capable of now.
The DRAMA must flow.

-"You barely have one personality."-
Preach!

I got replaced by Skrulls worked for Quicksilver.

I mean it's a matter of public record that half his professors (including the one doing the cloning) are supervillains and his boss knows Peter has a complicated relationship with the Green Goblin.

I assume any resume he submitted includes Stark (and maybe the Richards internship).

Anyone who cares to look knows he's got a working relationship with Spider-Man.

Seems like a magnet for superhero BS even if you don't know he's Spider-Man.



(Really liked the aspect of Slott's She-Hulk where normal people got caught up in superhero nonsense)

“My asshole clone replaced me for a while.”
“…”
“…”
“My cousin was impersonated by her duplicate from Earth-A. It happens. Thanks for clearing this up.”

[superfangirl1]

Hey just two weeks ago. Bob in R&D got replace for a while by time traveling shape charging robot. That was a wild experience.

[dan_ingram]

Oh, hey, Peter gets fired. Never seen that one before.

EVER.
