It's cool to hear that.

I remember just being relieved the saga was over. It was also the moment I became really cynical about comics. It has to happen to a kid eventually.

I saw the reveal as...

@oldschool. Thanks for answering. I had been hoping to hear the perspective from a long-time reader.

In 1996, Norman Osborn was brought back from the dead and revealed as the true mastermind behind the Clone Saga.

For those of you that were actively reading Spider-Man comics during that time, I'd...

Slott has mentioned that the events of Learning to Crawl dovetail into the main ASM series right after 1.5 wraps up. So we may see the return of Clash. Although I do agree that this has the potential...

Loved this issue!

It was like reading Lee and Ditko stories paced in the style of Bendis and Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man.

A winning combo!

They already tried to alter past stories by using Miles Warren and a whole lot of clones. It happened in the '90s. We called it the Clone Saga.

And it was awful.

When a character dies and that...

I feel it would be the worst idea ever.

The only interesting thing about the character was that she died. Her death provided one of the rare moments of change in Spider-Man continuity, and...

Back around '97, I totally agreed with this article. I was a teenager, and it spoke to everything that was frustrating about the comics at the time.

But now, 17 years later, I don't agree.

I...

I was in exactly the same position as you a little while ago. I read New Ways to Die, which threw me at first, until I clicked with Dan Slott's particular style of writing, and realised there was a...

Wow. Every Spider-Man comic *ever*? Including variants? That's an impressive quest and I'd love to know how you're going with that. Where do you get your master list from?

I can understand the...

I'm interested in the community's thoughts about the (huge amount of) variant covers for ASM. I have mixed feelings about them.

I'd like to know:

a) Do ASM fans think that variant covers are...

Great food for thought here.

After returning recently to ASM, I read BND all in one chunk - and I thought it was great fun. Not all of it gold, but a pretty good quality. Solid Spider-Man stories...

Dan Slott's script is included in the Comixology Special Edition of ASM 1. For this panel he writes, "Natalie is a pretty reporter ... She works for a news channel that will become very important in...

5 issues. ASM 1.1 - 1.5, as part of the bi-weekly schedule.

The art looks amazing, and judging from what we read in ASM 1, this will be a cracker of a story.

I think we're supposed to read that line as a wink from Slott. It's an inside joke, aimed to tease the reader. Slott often throws these kind of knowing asides in, and it's best not to take them too...

Great Q&A! These teases are very reassuring: so glad Anna Maria will be part of the ongoing supporting cast. And how stunning are those Learning to Crawl pages!

I'd give a new reader the names of good creative teams and then offer them one or two issues from that run. For example, Stern's ASM #225 (Foolkiller), Ditko's Master Planner Saga, or Slott's ASM...

I think we'll see Otto's return. Perhaps the logic of Spider-Verse will enable it to happen. Every Spider-Man ever? Why wouldn't that include the Superior Spidey?

That's how I read it - that Otto would have explained everything to Anna. Of course, he didn't get the chance.
