Nice that it seems that in spite of their parting on negative terms before Spider-Geddon that the Spider-Bros are fighting together again at least for an issue.

Do we know why none of the Scarlet Spiders was involved in the last few storylines where Peter went rampage and the whole Spider Family (excluding Ben and Kaine) tried to stop him?
I cannot wait to get these issues in my hands and find out what the story is actually going to be.
-Pav, who is excited to be excited with other excited fans...
You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

What’s weird is the Iron-Man solicit for this month still mentions Scarlet Spider as fighting alongside Tony’s crew… so that begs some questions. Lack of editorial communication? IM storyline taking place before this Beyond story? Or as some have suggested… this is a different Ben, maybe the one from Earth 95?
My assumption is that it's just editorial oversight, but I don't really know. Perhaps we'll find out when Beyond starts, or at the end of the Iron Man run.
I'm not complaining though! I'll take all the Ben Reilly goodness I can get!

I'm 100% sure it's because that story is running way too long, like Coates Captain America, timeline wise it's fallen behind the rest of the MU. I'm not sure what logic behind this being a different Ben is. Is it really that far fetched that something happens to Peter so Ben takes on the mantle, than some alt Ben from a whole other world coming all the way to 616 to replace another Spider-Man? Seems a bit far fetched and maybe it's just me, needlessly complicated. When 616 Ben is alive present and returned to his old self what's the point of an alt version?

Amazing Fantasy #15, his first appearance, was solicited as published in August 1962, though June 1962 might be more accurate in terms of how comics tend to be published two months ahead of the solicited date. That said, Peter will most likely come back in time for either his 60th anniversary in June (or August) 2022 or the 900th total issue of his ongoing series, so I'll just be sitting back and trying to enjoy the ride with Ben as Spider-Man Beyond as much as I can.
The spider is always on the hunt.
