Could J Michael Straczinsky's stuff with Peter being chosen by the Spider God retroactively explain why Peter loses his powers during the Clone Saga? I guess it's contrived, but I could see the explanation being something like "since he doesn't believe he is genuinely this person, the Spider God no longer recognizes him as worthy."
But the Spider God thing is so bad. It removes the whole thing of that Spider-Man could have been anyone, but Peter just by chance had such great responsibility thrust upon him.
Speaking of, I remember reading about Scrier (and his cult) in this one Spider-Man novel entitled "Spider-Man: Requiem." In it, the writer tied them to this ancient book buried out in a desert and the Carrion virus. What also was weird about it is that the book features this side plot about a serial killer getting the Carrion virus and it dedicated a whole chapter to this character capturing a woman, tying her up, and mutilating her in a disturbing amount of detail for a book about Spider-Man. It's bizarre as hell.
There’s a blog called life of Reilly. Goes into the behind the scenes. Basically the writers were so ready to end this but sales department was in charge of the company and wouldn’t let them.
Spoiler Alert When you bring up the whole Kaine "Protect the Peter Parker Brand" all I could hear in my head was "I must delete you Brother Riley to Protect the Parker Brand! DELETE DELETE!! Senior Benjamin prepare the battlefield for massacre!"
I still remember my first comics. Age of Apocalypse and the final four issues of the clone saga. My stepfather just bought them and gave them to me without any knowledge of comics. I remember reading the last four of this thinking "what is going on?! What did I miss out on?!"
I would like to know how Sal's reaction hearing episode 2 of stars wars was going to be called Attack Of The Clones when it was being made... probably had Vietnam like flash backs
I love coming back to these because they are so GODDAMN ENTERTAINING. Seriously love the entire ComicPop team. Sal, your storytelling prowess has us all mesmerized. Especially Ethan starting at around 7:30 onward 😂
J Michael Straczynski's run (except Sins Past) is awesome! I don't know how -or if- it could fit in an episode, but it would be great to see! Amazing job, guys!
There is a standing theory in the Marvel Universe that no one ages due to Franklin Richards. Just throwing that out there regarding the passage of time in Earth 616...
Great vid on the clone saga BTW - I had almost forgotten how f*cked up Gwen Stacy's afterlife had become as she was constantly made into clones. And when I saw the "Clone Conspiracy" coming out a few months back, I cringed...
Wow. What a cluster of a story. Thank you guys, especially Sal, for sitting/reading through it. This was the story line in 1994 that knocked me out of comics for nearly a decade so it's nice that I now know how the story ended after I got out after two issues.
Some of my favorite episodes of Back Issues involve you guys talking about some of the worst/most ridiculous storylines in comics. I know it must be painful for Sal to recount some of these storylines, but the reactions from Ben, Tiffany and Ethan are very entertaining.
When I started to get back into comics I heavily contemplated buying the whole of the clone saga, because as a kid who grew up in the nineties, Scarlet Spider was rad as hell. I even bought the first volume of the saga, luckily I ran into this video before I was tempted to buy any more. Because they are damn expensive, and not worth the money. Watching this is great though, You guys rock!
It's funny, Bendis did his own version of the Clone Saga in Ultimate Spider Man, and it was actually my favorite story arc in the "Peter Parker era". Nine well written, well drawn and well paced issues and then it was done.
My ONLY single issue of Spider-Man (I was an X-Men reader in the 90s) is an issue where Peter Parker/Ben Reilly (I don't honestly remember) was arrested as a part of this saga, and the cover was an embossed "jail bars" cover. Spider-Man #57, I think. So 90s.
Once and a while I go back to this episode for 2 reasons: 1. Is to appreciate how _bad_ it is and use it as a reference for how things could always be worse. and 2. Is to try (time after time) to make sense of the damn thing.
There is nothing quite like waking up really sick and having an episode of Back Issues put the smile back on my face. Your descriptions and reactions to this "epic" story are priceless.
Found my way here from the collaborations you've done on Comicstorian's channel with him and Comics Explained. This is fucking gold, laughed audibly multiple times throughout. Glad to be a new subscriber to this channel.
SPOILERS for Spider-Man PS4/remastered 33:59 If that became the official permanent death of Aunt May, I would 100% be satisfied with that. It’s beautiful, sad and honestly touching. Hell in Spider-Man PS4 they did something similar (while adding Peter having to decide whether to save one life over many or vice versa) and it was a great end to her character. But no they have to put a weird plot twist that not even a soap opera would do.
You actually did it! Thank you so much. I heard how much stupid was here, but I had no idea stupid ran this deep. (The Clone Saga, not the ComicPop boys.)
My husband quit comic store in the clone saga to. When I started reading comics he kind of got back into them but then Spider-Verse happened and he almost quit completely again. he didn't read it. He just heard Ben Riley's name and wanted nothing to do with it.
I agree with…well pretty much everybody that the clone saga sucks and the character of Kaine Parker was not written well in it. However, Kaine Parker had this awesome, very underrated series that lasted 25 issues. In it he decides to become the Scarlet Spider again in Houston Texas. At first he tries not to, however he can’t help but try to save people. It’s a series that’s basically Kaine Parker’s redemption arc that I recommend (it’s written by Christopher Yost) EDIT: you don’t need to read any comics prior, it gives a good amount of exposition for new readers to understand
I remember watching that video. Also, what do you guys think of the possibility that Mephisto is involved in the Clone Conspiracy? He did get brought up in Spiderman/Deadpool, and One More Day seems to be going away in Amazing Spiderman. And there's the Amazing Spiderman: Renew Your Vows ongoing after Civil War 2.
Was looking forward to this one. I remember painting my crazy articulate spider - man action figure red and had my grandma sew a tiny blue torn hoodie for it....good times.
This episode made me realize that I actually owned some of these issues back when I was about 12 years old. They deeply disturbed me as a kid. There was this panel where Kane seemingly killed Doc Occ and Stunner holds his bleeding corps in her arms. JEEEESUS. Childhood trauma triggered!
wait, so basically the what if baby is mayday? because norman osborn had a "clone" of may and kept her in a life support thing. but when may gets her powers she doesnt wear peter parkers suit. she wears the Ben Reilly suit. referring to the clone saga.
I remember Mark Bagley said he really hates the fake parents storyline because of " The Spider" and he never liked doing the Clone Saga because really no one in the writing table didn't know when to end it and left because he was busy doing Thunderbolts. It's cool that Dan Jurgens and John Romita Jr. was involved with Spiderman, but not for this garbage.
I still absolutely ADORE the original Scarlet Spider outfit. So much 90's to cool for school energy. To this day it's still my favorite spiderman outfit. Carnage would likely be my second favorite character in the entire series 😅 Maximum Carnage was fun and Absolute Carnage was so cool 🤷 Ben as the OG Scarlet Spider binded with the Carnage Symbiote... But it doesn't lose it.
this was the first spiderman story I actively followed and collected as a child. god help me....I loved every second of it. the constant quest for "who is the real peter parker" was fascinating to me. sorry, not sorry.
I feel like this whole mess could've worked with some small changes. Peter always wants to quit right? He's all about responsibility right? Mary Jane gets pregnant and Peter is all conflicted. Ben is all confused because he's Peter but not Peter. They fight together and Peter retires, passing the torch to Ben. Then it's not this big betrayl. Peter becomes a mentor character, like he is with Miles. Maybe Peter comes back, and now there's two Spider-Men around the city. Ben dies, it's all sad. Then Peter takes up the responsibility of Spider-Man, only now he's a dad. No Caine, no Scrier, no Judas. Just a simple story, no more than a year.

It's insane how much extra work the writers put in because they were too lazy to come up with interesting stories for a family man Peter Parker.
Such a good way to put it. So much work put into something to make it good that somehow they were unwilling to make good.

@@nikeneon3188yes, it was all because Peter was an adult, not because comics flatlined in the 90s due to poor quality and speculators.

So...."Clonemaggedon" was named in this episode, it's almost as they knew back then that spiderggedon was going to be a thing, hahaha

Mary Jane gets pregnant and Peter is all conflicted.
Ben is all confused because he's Peter but not Peter.
They fight together and Peter retires, passing the torch to Ben.

Ben dies, it's all sad. Then Peter takes up the responsibility of Spider-Man, only now he's a dad.
No Caine, no Scrier, no Judas. Just a simple story, no more than a year.
