  • hey im a new reader for comics and i want to start the with the clone sage so its with the amazing spiderman 149 to 151 right and what were the other ones please

  • @misner1989 like issue numbers and stuff thanks dude

  • Can you do Kaine 101

  • I love the character of Scarlet Spider but i dont like his spiderman costume ( when he becomes spiderman) Thumbs up if you agree

  • I'm bit confused after watching many of the Spider-Man 101 classes. Is the Spider-Man comic there in the Canada called The Amazing Spider-Man? Here in Finland it was called just "Spider-Man".

  • @XJVHS you are reading the wrong series there is a spiderman and there is a amazing spiderman and even more

  • @ctcomics12358 It's been a long time since I read the comics so I might have gotten the name wrong. Like you said, there was lot of comic books about Spider-Man.

  • @XJVHS yeah, and tell me what you think of the clone saga because i like the scarlet spider. i have not read the clone saga i just read a little of the scarlet spider and the animated series

  • @ctcomics12358 As a young kid I had no clue about science. So I was little confused about the plot. I didn't have all the issues, my parents stopped the subscription after 5 months of the beginning of saga, as their only excuse:"it's too expensive comic book".

    I was angry because I was interested in the clone saga. Scarlet Spider was really cool to see, I really liked the design of the suit he used. But thanks to Youtube I've seen the Scarlet Spider in action in the animated series.

  • I really liked scarlet spider, and bens spider-man variation

  • @bigkriem Me too. They were cool characters.

  • I'm personally a big fan of Ben Reilly. I think he was a pretty interesting character. The immediate stuff that came out right after he became Spiderman was pretty good. They put Ben in a more modern (well, 90's modern) setting. Ben lived in the city and worked as a waiter, which was a breath of fresh air after Peter being a student/photographer/scientist all these years. I also enjoyed seeing Ben meet all the other characters that Peter establish connections through the years.

  • A more elegant story would've been that, after Ben returns to see Aunt May, Ben and Peter would be put into a situation where they'd need to team up, Ben consequently proves he's capable of taking on the mantle and Peter gives it to him to care of the baby. Peter, then, mentors Ben and, maybe, occasionally, helps him out as a Spiderman.

    cont. w next post

  • TAS Spider-Carnage was amazing and I found him really scary as a kid. Also one of the earliest material to introduce me to the concept of alternate universes (and now I'm a science undergrad).

    Anyway, the only real mistake with the attempt at getting a new, unmarried Spiderman with the Clone Saga was Peter being the clone. I don't know why they had to make Peter being a clone the reason they had to put Ben in. He already has a perfectly good reason to retire with the baby.

    cont. w next post

  • Remember the scene where Peter Parker and Ben Reilly found a decomposed Spider-Man corpse in the sewer?? That corpse should have been the REAL Spider-Man and both of them should have been clones. Marvel should have just rolled with it.

  • That's "chunkyjeffrey" not "chunky effect". Sorry about that, it's the stupid spell correct thingy on my iPod.

  • I have all the issues and crossovers for clone saga. Recently I bought all the complete clone saga TPBs that came out, there were 5 of them. They are pricey though, $35 to $40 each. Luckily I got them for 30% off cover price. Check out my channel "chunky effect" to see my review of those TPBs.

  • Why the fuck does everyone say that "Ben was like a twin of Peter and knew what it was like to be him" man that's so obvious! He is a CLONE! The clone has all the memories of Peter Parker until the point of its creation!! So hell yes he know's what it's like to be him. Because the clone basically IS Peter Parker, just not the "original" one. He has EXACTLY the same personality and EXACTLY the same memories (up to a certain point)

  • I never hated the Clone Saga, but found it frustrating. I fucking LOVE it in the wake of OMD. it had some nice ideas and some of em were well execiuted. brinign Osborn back did do damage to his death scenes BUT Marvel fixed many of the continuity problems surrounding that AND have since then utilised Osborn very well so his ressurrection was cheap

  • If Aunt May dies in amazing 400, then wtf is going on in one more day series with her being shot and the thing with mephisto? wtf

  • @IronHulkX she came back in the Gathering of Five BS

  • You always said that it annoyed people that Ben Reilly was then the "New" Spider-Man ... I mean they actually made it more look like Ben Reilly was the real peter Parker and so he also was actually the "real" Spider-Man, the one who was bitten by the Spider and stuff. It really shocked me when I read it the first time so I think it was good.

  • @Matriculon on a shock level it was good. from a fans perspecive it was bad bcos u felt cheated for all thsoe years u read Spider-Man bcos he wasnt the REAL Spidey. in hindsight tho when u read it knowing that in the end Ben isn't the original i enjoy it much more bcos, u know that at the end of the day no real damage was done, Ben was Spidey for a while and then he wasn't end of story.

  • @227060 yeah it really pissed me off the first time. I mean thinking that the Spidey we knew all this time was just a clone and the real Spidey was living on the street was awful. but well, now that we know that Peter was the real one all along makes it a good read if you know what I mean. Sry, my english is terrible xD

  • @Matriculon no worries man its the internet no1 cares. I just look at it as a crazy time for Spider-Man and its not like I didn't like Ben or his Spidey costume/adventures. from a writers POV it sorta solves the 'marriage' thing they all ridiculously have a problem with. its weird tho ALL major superheroes had BIG x-overs in the 90s where they were replaced by 'hipper' versions. Superman died and got Last Son of Krypton. Bats back was broken + we got Jean Paul Valley. Spidey's a clone=Ben Reilly

  • @227060 yeah, I remember the issue with Batman getting his back broken by Bane (if this is what you were talking about), but I apparently missed everything about his recovery cause I normally don't read Batman. He suddenly just came back. No idea.

  • @Matriculon it was a little contrived how he came back but no1 really cared bcos Brice Wayne was back as Batman beating this guy who replaced him and was nuts. I dunno the 90s was a weird time for comics, everything went EXTREME, some of which i don't mind but u don't replace batman or Superman with guys who JUST kill baddies...nor do u make the Hulk smart???? X-Men did it right, Age of Apocalypse, fresh interpretations of old characters which WAS NOT canon, every1 is happy

  • I dont like the clone saga

    But i like Ben Raily is like a Twin of Peter

  • @bittton Ben was like Perer's brother and the ONLY person to really know what it was like to be him. Kaine was alsoa potentially awsome villain. ppl say Venomi is the dark reflection of Spider-Man well, mayb he is but Kaine is just as interesting he is the dark reflection of Peter Parker

  • Thumbs up if Cracked brought you here.

  • have you looked up maximum carnage, i havent read that but i played the game.

  • this guy:D

  • talk more about the cartoon. :D before that do venom :D

  • i am proud.

  • was good to me i like scarlet spider. :D

  • I think the Clone-Saga hate has died down over the years.

    Thank goodness too...... time for a return.

  • Ben Reilly is STILL my favorite comic book charater!!!

  • When I started reading the comic books as a kid I was reading when the clone sagas started again in 94 which I feel I started reading Marvel at the best time, and the clone sagas were kick ass I started reading a few venom sagas, and wolvering but the clone saga was the best, and I have been looking for away to get those comics does anyone know how I can get all the spider-man clone saga comics, seeing alot of those covers he showed brings back alot of memories when I was a kid reading them.

  • @Rossin21 you can buy the paperbacks at amazon

  • @TheTitofly Yeah I also found out I can order them from barnes and noble, the price is high though but I will get them one by one eventually

  • from watching this, i might buy a paperback of the clone saga (if its been published yet). i think the clone saga is pretty good but not the greatest. one more day by far sucked!

  • You are a comic book geek, but that is why you rock! I salute you!

  • dude i just found u on here....u are straight beast mode son!!! yes!!

  • Spider-Carnage 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Good video, I guess you love the saga for Nostalgia, being your first subscription comics and all. But if this saga was so great, it would have lasted, it was a failure both artistically and comercially. And i you were pissed of by One More Day., well this saga does the same it throws to the garbage more than 20 years of continuity. Ironically th originaL Clone Saga by Gerry Conway and Ross Andru was pretty cool, 10 or so issues , good artwork, and good plot twists.

  • @TheVetoSkreeemer

    the clone saga was one of the bravest and most original stories ever done by marvel. get off of your elitist high horse.

  • @CaptainTrollface I didn t like it i thoguht it was dreadful, Spiderman is not a ground -breaking hero since the mid 70, they play it safe with him. And the Clone thing, wasn t at all that original. If you still find it a masterpiece or a great story good for you. Be well.

  • A trilogy of darker Spidey films featuring genetically enhanced villains like the Lizard, Morbius and Carrion and using elements from the clone storylines to make them cohesive would be the coolest way to do the movie franchise reboot, IMHO. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these ideas as well as on the supposed return of Ben Reilly that's in development.

  • dube you'll always have my support.dcompose rule!!!!!

  • I now you don`t make videos in 2010 but if your looking at this can you do a electro

    101

  • hey, i need an answer if anyone knows!!

    the 1990 cover for spiderman (the one mcfarlane did)

    anyone know what the issue is with the scarlet spider variant cover?

  • @matthinew182 yes

  • @kmcclintock06

    can you tell me :O

  • @matthinew182 i have it but its packed away do you want to buy it

  • IMO guys theclone saga was a good and interesting story that got out of hands.

    Instead of playing around with the idea a little, they wanted to implement the change permanently. Anyway this almost kills spidey in the 90s.

  • He didn't steal it

  • Venom and green goblin seems to be the only ones that knows who the real and fake spiderman is because venom says youre alot like spiderman but I know that youre not

  • ben reilley's spider man costume  is the best one

  • the clone saga ROCKED i had every single comic released concerning it but was extremely gutted when i found out that my mum had thrown em all out when i moved out :-(

  • @festimusprime Ugh I'm gonna have nightmares

  • hey kev i want to know about this saber tooth had a son on mysteq pls reply

  • fuck clones

  • They killed doc ock DX and then lady octopus came in future

  • All of clones were killed. Execpt for Kane who was one of my favorite clones in this story line.

  • i hav 2 say the whole spider carnage in the comics wasnt so good but wat i hated in the tv show was the fact that they made ben reiley 2 b the real spiderman n spider carnage basically destroys himself although they do get away with it because it "happened in a different dimension" but still

  • the clone saga was awesome

  • true words kev, just like Hal Jordan being paralax, contreversy equal memoriable stories a showcase the balls to make change.

  • I always liked Ben's Scarlet suit. Hoody version.

    I still think Ben is the true spiderman myself even though marvel has stated other wise.

  • you no stan lee is 86 years old

  • funny thing, i first started reading Spidey during the Clone saga, I thought it was shit and moved onto Wolverine for a while until the issue where Ben dies came out on my birthday.

  • 5 Stars.

  • i have that figure 2

  • kaine dissapered afterwards and they never found or talked about the baby...exept from spider girl. I liked the clone saga up until norman ressurected

  • the only character who should be allowed to ressurect that many times is Jean Grey, she's the phoenix, and rises from the ashes. that and she can control life and death, normans ressurection was really cheap

  • @pepsilover1 what about deadpool he can die but he can never stay dead

  • I loved the clone saga except for when Norman came back. It really cheapened his death. Sometimes characters need to stay dead.

    I started reading Spidey around the time of the beginning of the clone saga as well, but after SM75 I stopped buying Spider-Man forever.

    I'm glad I did because from all accounts, it's pure garbage at this point.

  • The great thing about the clone saga was Kaine, and the whole Peter Parker on trial with Carnage as the Judge and Kaine as Peter's Lawyer. P.S. Kaine is pure awesomeness

  • ultimate spiderman clone saga can'twiat for it...

  • I also luv spiderman but never really had a subscription and was thinking to get one but I'm not sure where to start any suggestions?

  • the custuem is also spider girl a,k,a peters duoghter sorry i cant spell that well

  • Could you review Batman Year One.

  • My first comic book was amazing spiderman #388 the last story to the peters parents saga I know people don't like this book but I do because it shows another side of peter parker.

  • According to Howard Mackie on the podcasts, if the NEW Clone Saga (six-parts) is a success, it'll take the place of the original in continuity and have an alternate ending that restores Ben Reily to life. BND will be retconned if this is a success too (or "amended" to reveal Peter and MJ have been happily married and it's Ben that's been havinmg all this weird shit the last 10 years)

  • What new Clone Saga? Where did you hear this from ? :S

  • this storyline had potential, but it dragged on too long

  • Hey kev could you review batman the dark knight returns.

  • The Scarlet Spider is so bad ass to me and I don't know why.lol

  • when i was reading them at first like when they came out i knew peter was the real one all along

  • i only liked ben reilly, his character was great. When was that figure of him released?

  • lol I love your sarcasm about how the clone saga was the greatest plot ever on a comic book.

  • 3:13: Who does? the fun is going to the comic store!

  • i bet in the future people will be thinking of Brand New Day as we do of the clone saga

  • to be honest, i LOVE the scarlet spider hoodie costume. it is my third favorite costume besides the classic red and blue and the black.

  • Hi, I just saw your vid about the original clone saga I wanna hear you take on the Ultimate Clone saga? Do you read the Ultimate Spiderman series? How do you feel about it?

  • could u do a class on the new dark reign series like the dark avengers?

  • Thanx ! Gr8 sum up  :)

  • i thot u were never gonna do this, yd u give in?

  • hey kev, what did you think about the ultimate spider-man clone saga?

  • OMD/BND is just as bad if not worse that this shit.

  • The Clone saga was bullshit but hands down, it was a lot better then the One More Day fiasco. Ugh.

  • Ben was the Spider-man during Marvel vs DC. He fought against Superboy.

  • I think I know why he sounds sad because he dosn't want to do this. because if you saw what that guy said in the end it looked Like he was trying to hide that he was not really not wanting to talk about clone saga. p.s who ever ask why I sound sad I don't know if you ment me. or the guy.

  • why do u sound sad? =(

  • pliss say me where you obtained those old comics??

  • I actually loved the clone saga,simply because Parker got booted out for a while. I've always hated the Spiderman comics because of Peters angst and complaining about Aunt May or other everyday things. Reilly was a breath of fresh air and Kaine was a damn badass to the bone.

  • I still say it was a good idea executed poorly.

    Nicely done, Kev.

  • hey master Where you obtain the comics

  • i preferred th ultimate marvel version

  • yeah me too that was great

  • Well that was a okay review on a great series (you get it?) Does anyone else think Kev is the real fake real Kev also? I sure do after that amazeing over veiw on Spider mans clone saga, I'll belive anything. Or will I HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... what am I the Joker now? No! or am I? Geez I need to rest great review Kev or Vek or what ever, on a okay series, bye.

  • That's awesome... "I don't know how many issues Maximum Clonage spans... it's between 1 and 1000"

  • scarlet spidey come back!

  • how about a he-man 101

  • i miss the scarlet spider :{

  • tysm kev if u remember i asked a while back for this u prolly did it for other reasons but thnks man

  • LOVED the review bro ! Shit like this makes me glad I subscribed ! But I noticed something. I had seen (while I was watching your video) that there was a Spiderman issue with Ghost Rider....think you could clear the air for me on that one ? I loved Ghost Rider and Deadpool (Spiderman's still my favorite though) and I think they're underrated...How'd Spidey react to Hell's Bounty Hunter ? ;)

  • Hey DComclone.

    Any chance of a Deadpool 101 due to his recent appearences in Marvel movies?

  • which movie did he apear in ? I don't remember seeing him :(

  • Hulk vs Wolverine and he'll be in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

  • freaking SWEET ! Hope they'll give him his own movie too ;) well, they'll probably show his origin pretty thoroughly in Wolverine's movie huh ? Let's hope :)

  • The thing I didn't like about the cartoon series was its non-ending.

  • yeah, same here, they couldnt decide if they wanted to continue or not :\

  • i thought the it was good

  • are you high? clone saga was one of the worst comic stories I've ever read. I hope you were being sarcastic.

  • no shit sherlock

  • no, he wasnt. He enjoyed it. What most ppl hated about the clone sage was that the spiderman ppl were reading for over 20 years was the clone.

  • The Clone Saga was way too long and they ret-conned Peter being a clone and made it Ben Rielly so your argument doesn't stick. PETER WASN'T A CLONE. There's no way in hell Marvel would let Spider-Man be a clone of the original, Fans would not except it as fact. That's why they Ret-conned it and that's why the Clone Saga is universally hated by almost everyone.

  • Dude, there wasnt one thing you said that I didnt already know. You kind of missed the point of what I was saying.

  • I was right! Remember a couple issues ago when he didn't tell us what the next video would be? I guessed right, it as the clone saga. I feel special now.

  • nice review clone Kev

  • Clone.u r a clone DCompose

  • Another great video, Kev - I always enjoy your postings. I thought that YouTube had imposed a limit on videos being a maximum of 10mins long, but I have seen a few recent vids (this one included) that are longer than that. I haven't posted any videos myself yet, but I was wondering if YouTube lets people post vids longer than 10mins if they've been a member a certain length of time, or if they've got a certain number of subscribers, or something like that. Does anyone know if this is the case?

  • You need to be a partner to have no limits. :)

  • Ah, that makes perfect sense. Again, another fantastic vid!

  • @DCompose It's funny how venom thinks that the Scarlet Spider is the real Spiderman even though he doesnt look like spiderman at all he says something like You promised not to get in my way or somethingand scarlet spider didnt know how powerful Venom is but later it seems like venom starts to think that spiderman isnt spiderman that it is someone else that looks like spiderman sorry for telling you something you already know lol

  • @DCompose Can you do a Spiderman 2099 101? Please that would be awsome

  • love the sarcasm

  • Of course! It makes perfect sense!

  • can you do a 101 class on asbestos man plz?

  • it's a miracle, u finally did it. i love scarlet spider

  • during your rant about about brand new day rendering all of our favorite stories virtually meaningless you never mention how devestating it will be never knowing if the clone saga actually happened .

  • This 101 is done by DC's clone. You can see him laughing at the end and you could even hear him saying ".. and they dont even suspect a thing." I remember one video where we saw an identical looking person, I suspect to be "Kevan, Clone Saga".

  • Don't forget! Mary Jane's miscarriage was also a fake! Osborne paid off the doctors to lie to the Parkers about the baby dying and they took her away. To this day, no one knows what happened to the baby.

  • cool

    !!!

  • good review but vwery confusing for me some of the clone saga comes in a tie in with the onslought saga

  • so do u like the clone saga now?

  • Thanks so much for posting this. Now, I don't have to read it.

  • haha I love the sarcasm in this

  • Great vid kev. But the clone saga sucks. I agree that they should have kept peter parker as the original otherwise all the comics you read previously (thousands) would be null & void! That would suck! They shouldve kept ben rielly alive though cause the world would be better with 2 spider men. Also you didnt explain what happened to all the other clones. Did they just off themselves or there clone warranty dates where up?

  • the clone saga is up there with the rest of the spider-man comic greates, like brand new day and sins revealed.

  • "Best storyline ever," he says dripping with sarcasm, haha. Good stuff, man.

    I actually remember that I liked the Clone Saga because I really like Scarlet Spider. I think I even have that Spider-Man: The Lost Years first issue somewhere. I always wished he'd lived and went to the west Coast or something, lol. Joined up with the West Coast Avengers.

    Between this and Separation Anxiety, you must've been croaking for good comics around '94.

  • do one with the five symbiotes that were taken away by venom from the life foundation

  • Ah, now the vids back up.

    I have to admit though, the look of the Scarlet Spider is pretty neat. Both of them.

    Never read it though. My very first comic book that I actually went out and bought on my own was Venom: Lethal Protector #6 which also had different variations of Venom...in #5 and 4, which I bought later.

    Seems the idea of clones was big in the 90's.

  • you did a great job clone kev

  • Hey Kev, any chance of having you touch on Khaine?(sp?). I thought he was probably the most interesting character of the whole Clone saga, and it's not like he was a minor character in the series (Hell, he's responcible for the death of Doc Oc at one time, sets up Peter(Ben) for murder (Trial of Peter Parker), and was there during the years of Ben before coming back into Peter's life.

    And I think they should have kept Ben as Spiderman and not go back on the decision. Personal taste I guess.

  • thanx ur awesome DC

  • Hey DCompose, mate you really are awsome!! I really enjoy your video's espeacially your 101 vids. I would love to see a vid of your collection, ye know like your comics on the walls and your Marvel, DC and Transformers. Any chance of that?

  • I always wondered where Ben Riley came from and now I know, great class!

  • That explaince it all.

  • "Never suspected a thing?"

    I know you were the clone the whole time. Clones have a link to eack other.

    I'm a clone of Dragonblack90

  • This was very informative, thanks! :D

  • Never suspected a thing ? I think that was the DCompose clone again.

  • Finally someone showing the clone saga some much overdue love. Sure it wasn't Crisis or Knightfall material but hey, they can't all be great. I also would like to hear your thoughts on your 5 favorite spiderman comics.

  • thank you so much

  • I personally loved the ultimate clone saga but only having read three issues of the original clone saga (hard to get) i cant say which is better anyone good vid as usual Kev

  • I love the Clone Saga! It's a AMAZING Series! Thanks so much for doing this Kevin!

  • Are there any TPB of the clone saga issues? I really want to read them just to see how bad it is

  • Welcome back, Kev.

  • thanks dcompose i really enjoyed this video. i would really like to see your top 5 most hated spiderman comics or something along those lines.

  • You just number 1 on that list, I do believe.

  • I absolutely enjoyed the Clone saga as well, though I have yet to read all the issues! I really like Ben Reilly's character and the Scarlet Spider as well! Totally dig his first and second versions of the spider-man costume.

    Awesome segment, good job!

  • DCompose Do you like Cable (comics)?

  • Damn, missed the class...looks like I was tardy...

  • dcompose clone!!! get venom and spiderman and carnage we need the real dcompose back

  • about time

  • i didnt get the end?

  • Kev doesnt like the clone sage in the spiderman story line.
