Without a doubt, it's probably Ben and Kaine against Kraven during the lost years

Didn't JMD did a series of Backups that had Kaine in his assassin years take on Kraven. he beat him and buried him alived which Kraven got out and inspired him.
I vaguely remember some back-ups with Kaine getting into it with Kraven around 2009-2010 in that awesome 'Web Of...' anthology series that always had those random Ben/Kaine/Mayday back-ups. I miss that book. Same series we got Ben Reilly in Italy iirc.
EDIT: Or maybe it was a back-up during the Grim Hunt storyline. Either way it was around that time period when Marvel started embracing the clone mythology again.

I’m excited for this, but it does kinda subvert ‘Final Adventure’ a bit, which was supposed to be the only time he donned the costume when he lived in Portland. But meh, I can overlook that.
Also, seeing the edgy 90s version of the logo is definitely a cool throwback.
Humans aren't logical, but there is a personal logic in what people do, because actions and inactions have a reason since so many factors shape someone's personality.
The logics can be really bad, self-destructive and whatnot though, having some logic behind actions doesn't mean it's good, just because someone has a reason to be an obnoxious asshole, doesn't make 'em less of an obnoxious asshole lol.
I mean, even in that it ignores what MJ was going through before, 'cause she had clear PTSD after being kidnapped, and that was changed to "I felt I wasn't needed" lol.I get what you mean, I'm sort of playing advocates for the devils at work more than representing my own opinion. Back in 'our day' there was more nuance and logic to motivations (like MJ ending the separation by admitting the fault was in believing Peter didn't need her. and feeling important again when he said he did)
Kinda funny that both this and what Slott did before Spencer's run are attempts to separate these two, only for the next writer to ignore that and simplify the problem so they get together again lol.
The 90's art style in this is nice.
I don't think Ben would've confronted Kraven during his last years without later telling Peter about it. And wouldn't Kraven have recognized his similarity to Peter with his keen senses? But who knows, stranger things have happened. Until this year, I didn't think Spidercide or Traveller (any follow up on that tease?) would return either.
Jon DeMatteis said that if his Ben book got a sequel he wanted to do a tale featuring Ben, Peter and Kaine, so my guess is that he's going to use Alyosha and have him believe they're all hallucinating the thing.
Discovering/CONFESSING! the nature of evil... one retcon at a time.
