Spider-Man Clone Saga Omnibus Volume 1 (New Printing) Overview & Comparison | Who is Ben Reilly?

Exciting but ultimately not very good. Still, i will buy this (dont have it all in floppies). Damn this collecting that makes me purchase things i know i dont like that much. 😂

I was hoping the omnibus would have an index, too bad... I'd like to read it on marvel unlimited, but without knowing the correct reading order...

I honestly can’t believe I’m alive to see the Clone Saga and Ben Reilley’s Omni’s reprinted. Like 2 years ago 2 of them were going over $200 and I prefer the DM cover much more. Now.. will I be alive to see a Deadpool and X Force & Cable and X Force omnibus.. time will tell

I have missed this one so of course it's on pre-oder. Same with Clone Saga Vol 2 and Ben Reilly Vol 2.

I hope marvel releases a agent Venom omnibus one day. That way I won't have to be buying the complete collection edition version.

Man don’t nobody want that BS..

Thx so much dude
I’m tryna collect all amazing Spider-Man

I really enjoyed what happens with doc Oct. the way his character turns and the depth that’s added to his character is amazing.

Also the relationship between Peter and Mary Jane is very dramatic and kept me on edge.

I wanted to skip the fight scenes and find out what’s going to happen to Peter and Mary’s relationship.

Clown saga!

I’m interested in buying this 😍 can’t wait. Also, does anyone know if there is going to be another Venomnibus? Been waiting for ages now.

Preordered, can't wait to revisit the run that was happening when I was a kid and actually read the whole thing! Also, "Judas Traveller" is one of the worst names ever conceived by a Marvel writer.

I loved the clone saga. It kicked off just as I returned to buying the titles again after a break of a few years. I was gripped from the start, right through to the end of Ben’s story. It was a bit of a sh—-y time in my own life, so I relished having each new issue to look forward to. It can never have the impact it did on me back then, but I’m excited to re-read it!

😮 Can you read this without the Ben Reiley Omnibus woulld you still get a full story.

Does one need to read the 2 ben reilly omnibi? Or do the first provide some completion to the story?

Wow😮

Wow I have most of the books.

I'm glad they're reprinting more books more frequently. Hoping for an ultimate spiderman and stan lee line omnibus run reprint soon.

The art of the wrap around cover under the dust jacket for the direct market edition is actually by Steven Butler. Amazing review though!

The Clone Saga was my initial stopping point collecting the Epics. I think I will not change my mind... but thanks for the great review!

The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol.1, containing all of the original Ditko run, is the definitive saga of the character. Some of what came after may have had some affinity with the original concept and had some entertainment value, but it seems to amount to a history of people trying to figure out what to do with him. The killing off of Gwen Stacy was clearly an attempt to restore some sense of tragedy to his life, although he was being consoled by MJ by the end.
But the origin of the story in this book, when Gerry Conway responded to the fans reaction to the death by revealing that Professor Warren had cloned Gwen (his secret crush) in order to shock Peter (and the audience) with her "return" and then extending the "plot" with the revelation that he'd also cloned Peter, her boyfriend, for some insane reason was, for me, the series absolute nadir of creative desperation.
But the real crime is not that the story was done, rather it's that later writers, thrashing around for ideas, decided to return to it with a "what if Parker's clone hadn't died and was in fact the character you've been reading about ever since and the real Peter returns and now there are two Spider-Men blah blah blah?"
And then when the dust settled, return to it YET AGAIN in a further attempt to get mileage out of the character's hopelessly mangled and contrived history.
I grew up with and loved the original Spider-Man, one of the most intriguing and unique characters in the history of comics. It's a shame that uniqueness was lost decades ago....

Ready for that Vol. 2!

Love that cover on the new printing

Marvel publishing a Spider-man by Peter David omnibus or a Spider-man by J.M.DeMatteis : Nope
Marvel publishing again one of the worst Spider-man storylines ever: Hell yeah

I've never read this before, I will give it a try and get my copy. I am only a bit dissapointed about the covers, personally do not like any of them. However, 2nd volume has a great cover, so probably get standard to match the standard from 2nd vol.

Does it even matter to go 2x standard or 2x variant, if sth has 2 volumes? Or it will match on the shelve anyway?

Awesome collection. No so awesome comics though.

I’ve never read the clone saga and I’m looking forward t reading it myself. Does anyone know if the Ben Reilly Omnibus vol 1 will be restocked soon?

Does anyone know How many volumes to complete The whole clone saga? It's only those 2 volumes ?

People hate on Clone Saga but I’d take this a thousand times over what they’ve done to Spidey in modern day comics.

Is this worst than Onslaught?

I'll be skipping this one.

Cool video Omar.

I don't care, I'm getting the Epic Collection of the clone saga along with every Epic Collection of Amazing Spider-Man.

I just got the Kraven's Last Hunt Epic Collection two weeks ago.

Man this was my favorite Spider-Man story as a kid next to the Maximum Carnage series.

Awesome review Omar 👍🏻

After the last 15+ years of character assassination of Spidey that Marvel has been doing, Clone Saga doesn't feel that bad!

I personally enjoy most of CS. It's the era I got into comics so I have fun memories of it!

This was coming out back when I was getting out of comics way back when. Was on the fence about these when the omni's came out the first time and then they went oop and then I had my great "sell off" so I'm glad to finally.......finally get the chance to experience this for myself. Is "glad" the right term? lol eh, it doesn't matter I always find something I like in most anything :)

Its infamous reputation notwithstanding, the Clone Saga comics are the Spider-Man stories I grew up with, and reading them gives me one heck of a nostalgia trip to my tweener years. They're also why Ben Reilly is my favorite non-Peter Spidey.

I hope we get an omnibus after the SM Ben Reilly Omni Vol 2. That content gap needs to be filled!

I read all these books recently except for the funeral of doc Oct issues. Are those worth it?

FYI - this story is very good. I don’t know why it got much hate it’s really good.

Was waiting for this video!

An amazing story great art work

Total pass for me

Thanks for confirming the reading order!

I wish Marvel would make movies like DC, there's lots of content, even like a 10 episodes anime would be good, so much potential ...
