15:19 “You’ll never see me review a Clone Saga omnibus” As somebody who put himself through all 4 of them, I can say you’re probably making the right call there 😄
I was thinking about this when I received my copy and seeing the contents of volume 2 (Including all of max carnage, lethal protector etc). This era is where classic spidey was still consistently great and then once the clone saga hits, I don't think it's ever been the same. I actually enjoy a good portion of the clone saga, but that definitely signalled a point where spidey lost his way. Practically every run since has followed a pattern of a new writer making their mark with some great stories, followed by editoral interfering or ideas going nowhere resulting in it being mixed overall. Having said that, if we get 2-3 omnis to round out the post clone sage/pre JMS I'll be getting them. Likewise with the brand new day era yet to be collected. I'll be very interested to see your thoughts on the J M Dematteis spectacular omni if you get that next year. One of my top 3 spidey runs.

You're more dedicated than me if you read through all of that 😂

The writer pronounces his name Mik. æ line ee (like rhymes in “I hit my knee)
Good to know, it's a tricky name to be fair, I'm sure plenty of others have mispronounced it 😅
