    Thanks for that clarification. Come to think of it, it rather sucks that nothing from Ben's time as Spider-Man (or his original adventures as the Scarlet Spider) has been touched on in his current series.
    yeah, i can understand not wanting to bog down with continuity...but that choice definitely adds to the feeling/complaint that this ben is an entirely different ben

    What gets me is that the editors seemed to have a rather large influence on characters used. We talked here about villains like D'Spayre and Joystick being perfect fits for this new series; you'd think one of the editors would've pushed for either one to be used. They both make so much sense as villains for Ben at this point.

    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

    As far as supporting cast...I’d love to see in order of want... Desiree, Jessica, Janine, Shirley and her son Devon, Jimmy-6, and even a leftover clone of Seward Trainer from ‘Dead No More/ Clone Conspiracy’ would be great fun (I have no affinity for Buzz or Gabrielle Greer however). I expect none of these, sadly. There was some fantastic character development happening with Desiree when Ben died, which was all wasted unfortunately. Yes, I’m a Ben/Desiree shipper. The Swarm 2-parter sold me. 😆

    So, I thought Ben Reilly #23 was really good and caught me greatly by surprise, and now I'm interested to see how this all ends.

    spoilers:
    Quick summary, Ben & Kaine go to give the cure to Abigail, while Kaine talks about not wanting to kill Ben anymore because of how much he's changed. As they enter, June tries to warn Ben about something but then forgets. Ben is about to give the dying Abigail the cure when they are suddenly visited by a Future Abigail who tells her mother to let her die, as the cure turns her immortal, living for over 500 years after humanity and everything after that dies out. They pull the plug, only to reveal Future Abigail is actually Mephisto and that June tried to warn him after being told by the angel. Mephisto tells Ben he changed Cassandra & Slate's memories so that Ben told him he was just gonna sell the cure and that if he can survive one hour without being killed he'll change them back. After telling him good luck, Ben is stabbed by Cassandra.

    spoilers:
    Mephisto, you diabolical f***. That being said, if this is what he does to Ben for not going through with their deal back in Damnation, imagine what he's going to do to Peter once he gets word of Peter's renewed relationship with Mary Jane. At least now it's confirmed that memory alteration is one of his powers, so the aftermath of One More Day makes a lot more sense now.

    spoilers:
    Peter technically didn't go against his deal because, unlike Ben, he has no memory of it ever happening. So it's his own fault for putting too much faith in his spell.

    Also slight Thanos Legacy spoilers, its funny seeing him in this, and then getting the **** kicked out of him over there.

    I love the really expressive faces Ben and co have been making, like the artist has been knocking it out of the park these last few issues.

    Yeah, Mephisto should have listened to MJ when she told Peter whatever he did to them wouldn't be able to overcome their love for each other

    what silly Ben should have done is inject the angel blood in mephisto afterwards rather than making more deals with him.
