Or he's still out there somewhere, waiting for a writer/editorial team that actually like him to bring him back properly.

Either way, this series has been a win/win. It's given us our first look at the real Ben Reilly since 1996. And it's fixed the hatchet job that Slott and everyone else has been a part of since Clone Conspiracy. Job done.
It's an idea that adds more stupid retcons on top of stupid retcons, makes no actual sense, effectively steals from people that actually read and supported these comics, makes Janine a victim of sexual assault again, erases Ben's second era as Spider-Man where he more or less acted like himself, and is generally you just wanting to spite other people because you're mad at Marvel.

You could just restore his mind and move on and get the exact same effect. This isn't about storytelling for you. It's about you being angry at stories you don't like and wanting to trash them, even if it makes dumb writing even dumber.
