Agreed on all counts. Personally, this run's success will be determined by how it ends. If OMD/BND is undone, SSM 200 (SO UNDERRATED!), is restored, and we get a Peter MJ romance LOCKED in place (married please), then I'm going to call it the best since the Pre-Sins Past JMS stuff.
I think The Spectacular Spider-Man #200 is not going to be restored, Spencer isn't going to remove Kindred, at least not in a way that he can't easily be brought back.
It sounds wack but yes, I have no context. Also, is the ASM title gonna be called “SPIDER-MAN BEYOND” now? That would make more sense..Some new info for volume 2:
the description for the second volume of Spider-Man Beyond out next year :
Amazing creators unite for a brand new era of Spidey! Ben Reilly — the clone of Spider-Man — is back! He’s been through hell, but now with the support of a major corporation, Ben is thwipping once again and being the best Spider-Man he can be. And what does Peter think? Well, he’s just been through the Sinister War and he’s exhausted! But even if Peter is against Ben’s return to the limelight, does he have a choice? The webs that are about to be woven will take you to places you’ve never been…pit our spectacular heroes against classic villains reloaded, as well as brand-new foes…and make you rethink the whole concept of Spider-Man! But what will all this change and upheaval mean for Mary Jane, the Black Cat, Aunt May — and all of New York City?!
I'm three issues behind -- GIANT-SIZE, #70, and SINISTER WAR #1. I'm going to catch up this weekend but I tried starting last night. I just couldn't start/wasn't compelled. I forgot all aboutIt's probably because I'm not hyped about the Ben Reilly/new creative team stuff, too, but is it just me or did this run take a bit of a dive after SINS? Everything just feels really dull with a lot of threads that don't feel compelling.Chance, forgot the device that sees into the future, the guy who created it, his sick mom, Jack-O-Lantern, etc
It’s funny you say that because I thought I DID post this in the other thread lol. Wow that’s convincing! Can’t wait to catch up then. So SW is not part of the main ASM run right? It will pick up at #71?I feel like this post should be in the other thread but yeah I do understand what you're saying. Sins was such a rollercoaster of emotion and this constant incredibly tight-fisted tense set of issues that we also didn't get much resolution from. It did feel a bit jarring going from that to the issues with Kings Ransom and then with the Chameleon Conspiracy. But, since you haven't finished it yet, I can't say much except to say, things all tie together in a way that the story makes much more sense. Just keep reading man and you'll see. SW had my poor heart beating out of my chest.

I didn’t! Didn’t know there was one??Did anyone read the Free Comic Book Day issue?
Ben will be going after Miles for trademark infringement.
Finally!
Hopefully they give miles a different name, because him running around as Spider-Man is really dumb!

The fact that he's called Spider-Man.
Spider-Man is Peter or Ben, and neither use it at the same time as the other.
Miles is a crap, derivative character.
All his villains are either Peter's or a Variation of Peter's.
His stories are mostly Peter's as well.
Hell, he just had a Clone Saga.
