Amazing Spider-Man Annual #36: What's wrong with Pete's memories?

[cyberghostface.insanejournal.com]

For the record, I can't take credit for noticing this--Zarius on the SpidermanCrawlSpace messageboard found it.

In the latest ASM Annual, there's a scene where some new character wants revenge on 'Ben Reilly' for killing his family. Ben's name brings back memories to Pete, and we get this montage of poorly scanned panels and covers from the Clone Saga. Here's one of them:



Here's the source, from Spider-Man: The Lost Years #2...





So in other words...when Pete thinks he's remembering him and MJ, he's in fact remembering Ben Reilly and Janine.

Hardly the end of the world, but at the same time, I don't see how anyone could look at the original issue (and they had to to get the pic) and think that they're Pete and MJ. Unless they just skimmed through all the Clone Saga issues and just pasted on the pictures that seemed appropriate, which is what they were probably doing.

Anything that turns OMD/BND into a swerve, I'm all for it. I'll even take back all the nasty things I've thought and said about the current marvel regime.

Because if this was all a plot to fool us "smart marks" and get genuine heat from us, to set up the payoff of setting everything right... then it's more than just ok. It's fucking brilliant. Genius, even.

I'm still not ready to get my hopes up, though.

Oh, no, wait, I get it!

Quesada erased his own memories to get Loeb--who was closing in on him--off his back, and after a complicated plot including OMD and making Tony a jerk, which gets Quesada in Loeb's good graces, will finally touch the first issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, restoring his true memories and personality, putting him in position to blacklist Loeb forever, and allowing him to create his ideal world where Squirrel Girl has her own series and no one gets cheaply brought back from the dead.

"Just as planned."

(I have no idea if this makes any sense, but Loeb was the first name that came to mind.)

Joe Q is Light Yagami?

Seems to me if he's any manga character it's more likely to be Tatewaki Kuno.
