I read it and re-read it, trying to answer one question: I know that Kaime is in the new Scarlet Spider ongoing, but... is he cured now, or still dying? Did the frequency stabilize him?

I gotta agree with the majority: this "final" issue of Clone Conspiracy was underwhelming. I was hoping we'd have an army of Carrion zombies against Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, but that didn't really happen. There were definitely some things to like - the way Gwen went out in this issue was a real highlight - but overall I think the first half of this event was certainly the stronger half. That being said, we haven't really read the true ending yet, as we have the "Omega" issue to potentially explain what's going on with some of the loose ends.
I was reading this because I'm a Ben fan, so obviously I'm looking forward to seeing what happened with him. My guess? He did die - that is, Ben27 (as others have taken to calling him) - but that he previously set things up so that a new Ben would be reborn if anything happened to him. So we'll get a "new" Ben, who will be the lead of the upcoming Scarlet title.
I'm also interested in seeing what happens with the Lizard and his family - I agree with whoever said they might all become Lizards now - as well as Rhino and the new Electro.
Also, I gotta say: I thought killing off the Prowler clone and then having the original not be dead was kinda cheesy, even if it did make for a happy ending - especially for the family of that worker guy, Jerry. Honestly, for a second I thought we were going to see Kaine as the new Prowler.
Speak for yourself. I put my Ben fandom up against anyone's, and I enjoyed the series for the most part, even if the ending was a little meh.
But I don't get pissed off about comic books, so maybe I'm a weirdo or something.

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.

This had potential to be a great event but that ending??? well unless the Omega issue explains things
I still don't get how in the previews for ASM 24, the Ben27 is degenerating and tell's Otto he is the only one who can stop it, but is he degenerating for being a clone or due to the carrion virus? If the carrion virus is the cause, than how come the original Miles Warren who is surrounded by clones degenerating, doesn't get sick from the carrion virus? This story makes no sense!
He's degenerating because when he was cloned by Warren, unfortunately, whatever was special about his original body that he was a perfect clone didn't carry over and his body was prone to clone degeneration. It's the reason Warren kept killing him over and over; he was trying to crack what had made Ben a perfect clone.
My theory here about Ben Reilly. The villains were brought back to give the new Ben Reilly something to do. I think it is possible that Ben was either being controlled, or the Ben in the new Scarlet Spider series is a different Ben, a backup clone, if you will. Either way, clone conspiracy set up a bunch of villains that can be the work of the new Scarlet Spider to take care of.
