Maybe take a break. Heck, I've done that in the past and come back a bit less jaded.

I read the first two issues of PAD's run with Scarlet Spider - fan of PAD but wasn't keen at all on the 'new'...

Kaine for me too. Although I know there's still a lot of fans of Ben, IMHO there's more story potential for Kaine than Ben, especially once the current Ben clone story has played out. Dang, I miss...

Will get the first issue or two and see how it goes - it kind of depends how much Kaine is in it. If Aracely features somewhere (or maybe an odd nod to the rest of the 'Scarlet Spider' supporting...

IMHO, I don't have any doubt of Peter David being able to write Ben in a compelling way - what I do doubt is how much I'm going to want to read about the version of Ben Reilly we have now. The team...

Not sure how to vote on this one. I really want to vote for the Ben Reilly title but really don't know how fussed I am after Clone Conspiracy, if 'that' Ben Reilly is the main character.

It's certainly a great team and from a quality point of view there's no worries IMHO. Big fan of Peter David's work and he seems to have an excellent handle on Kaine (from the CBR article), so that's...

I suggested this over in the Amazing 21 thread. I don't know if the timing works but it would be an interesting development. Shame we'd lose the scarlet outfit but it's certainly a possibility. Maybe...

Only picked this issue up because I took a chance on Clone Conspiracy and I'm glad I did. Killing off Kaine would really feel like a 'not again' moment though - he's been killed off so many times...

It will be bizarre if there's no sign of him in Web Warriors, especially as they are based out of 001.

I can see where you are coming from but Miles is perhaps the most popular thing to come out of Ultimates, and he satisfies Marvel's recent push on increased profiles for female and/or non-white...

Agree with this, and I suppose the 8 months time slippage will be used to explain the change to the status quo. It's funny, Peter can be the head of a massive multinational corporation that bears his...

That's good work from Dee-Pathirana.

I know as Spider-Verse drew to a close Kaine was seen punching himself out of the Other's corpse. Has Loomworld or Kaine popped up in any of the Secret Wars...

I think the Parker Angst would be turned up to 10 if that happened - and from that POV it would be funny, i.e. 'Even my clone has better luck than I do'.
I suppose the largest factor compromising...

I suspect the same, and suppose we'll have a clearer idea come the epilogue of Spider-Verse. As you say hunter_peterson, Miles wouldn't be a bad Scarlet Spider, but...

Having Miles in the 616 (and...

Couldn't agree more, but there's not many that can write Kaine as well as Chris Yost does. Whilst I was happy to get the Scarlet Spiders three-parter, Kaine's 'voice' didn't sound quite right to me,...

Kaine
Aracely
Miguel O'Hara
Black Cat
Aunt May (when written by JMS)
Mary Jane Watson
Ben Reilly (Lost Years, before he got editor-ified into dust)
Ezekiel
Kingpin
J Jonah Jameson

If it's ok with you, I'm not going to hate on this particular idea :)

You could get a really established older actor in for Ezekiel for gravitas and make the audience question whether Peter's...

Although (for me) some of the characterization felt off, I enjoyed the run overall. Issue #2 could have done with just a single mention of his former New Warriors colleagues (who as far as Kaine...

We don't know yet (I hate solicits like that). As August_Gorman says, maybe the ultimate sacrifice refers to something else. It would kind of ironic if it was Ben Reilly - kind of makes the 616 that...

Interesting review. I agree with your POV about Choke/Clutch - the impression I got from the Scarlet Spider run that he was exactly like a 'Breaking Bad type, scary as $$$$, super villain.' This...

Agree on all points scribbleMind. It was a great issue - lots going on and they are now really operating as a team. The loss was sad (not saying who, for those who hadn't read it) but the reaction of...

It has. Numbers aren't what they need to be to support it. It's easy to speculate (no big launch/fan-favourite characters not present/major event to hang off/references in other books, etc) but...

You might want to check out New Warriors #9, out next week, as Kaine returns to Houston. Should be a good issue.

As far as Scarlet Spider and Hummingbird are concerned, wanting them to continue was the reason that this run of New Warriors has happened (in a Marvel podcast IIRC) so I'm not sure that rings true....

There were some great character moments in the Scarlet Spider run, and I'm hoping that the next issue of New Warriors will feature a cameo from one or more of the supporting cast - Donald, Wally,...
