Welp! Looks like I’m gonna have to go to my LCS and update my pull box now for this book!!!!!!!!
Marvel, you do listen every once and a while.
So it's an untold tales type of thing about his time as Spider-man the first go around? If that's the case I'd rather it be a mini series that will somehow tie back into the beyond run at some point.
EDIT: I just checked and found out that it is indeed a mini series which works out great for me. No problems whatsoever with purchasing this now.

Makes sense. They've been doing stories set when Peter had the black suit in Symbiote Spider-Man, and this is the same sort of thing, but based on the Clone Saga era.

Ben Reilly, the Spider-Man I grew up on alongside Peter Parker written by one of the best Spider-Man writers ever, JM DeMatteis means I'll be adding that to my pull list.
From JDM's Twitter.
And Baldeon's.

This is awesome, I can’t wait. They should’ve given that SS series to JM DeMatteis instead of PAD when he first came back… but better late than never.
And you guys know what this means, right? More Daily Grind… possibly more Janine, Jessica, Seward, Shirley, Desiree and maybe even mid-90s still-a-totally-bad-guy Kaine!

I like that Marvel stopped trying to pretend the Clone saga was some dirty secret and are just letting their freak-flag fly with it now. It’s possible us OG Ben fans are getting so old that the people who originally were so against ever bringing it up again have all cycled out of Marvel and the new writers and editors grew up with him too. I sometimes have to remind myself how long ago these stories were.

I'm very curious since Peter and MJ were present during Ben's time as Spider-man, MJ will be depicted pregnant like she was in 96. since marvel tried to pretend she was never pregnant, or JMD will show as it is. well that could change with the ending of Spencer run.
I mean they were, but their appearance here really depends on when in Ben's Spider-Man journey this takes place. Since we didn't really see much if any of them until the half way point of Ben's tenure, after they rode into the sunset, if I'm remembering correctly. This could very well take place during that period of time, but I guess we'll see.
