Reminds me of when Ultimate Spider-Man started recycling the 616-universe stories.
Stop. Stop it. Do not try this again. Go straight to comic jail for suggesting more Spider-Man clones.
Eh, not feeling this. The Assessor is a good original antagonist for Miles, but I don't really care for this direction. I'll have to wait and see the execution though.
But at least that gave us a decent take on Spider-Woman. Nothing of that sort can come out of this.

It was better received than the original though. Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) is a female clone of Peter.

Lol, I actually didn't know that.
HEY REMEMBER THAT THING YOU THOUGHT SUCKED?
WAIT TILL YOU SEE HOW MUCH THIS ONE SUCKS
People love that Miles is black Spider-Man, fuck you talking about

Ultimate Clone Saga was great fun. But it also made more sense because the entire point of the Ultimate universe was for new/fresh takes on characters and their classic stories.
I'm in the group of people that loves the 90s Clone Saga. My first comic book ever was this:
My dad got that for me randomly because I loved the Spider-Man cartoon on Fox Kids. I know there are a lot of people my age that got into comics around that time and have a fondness for the Clone Saga, despite its obvious problems.
I hope this is good but this isn't the Ultimate universe anymore. Miles doesn't need his own version of Peter's stories at this point. They should be trying to do completely new things.
That being said, the book is solid and I love the character so I'll be reading it and hoping it surprises me.
When I saw Into The Spiderverse I shopped around for some Miles stories and the consensus online (at the time) seemed to be that comic Miles was kind of meh. The Insomniac version of Miles is my favorite version that I've experienced, but I want to see him in adventures that aren't just Aaron Davis / The Tinkerer, but also aren't just rehashes of Peter adventures.
I feel for the writers, it's tough, I just wish they'd figure out some ways to make him stand out and make his stories feel unique and interesting
People said he was more than "the black Spider-Man" = people said he was more than a discount Parker who happens to be black
I'm fucking around (I think), don't take it the wrong way
We recently had a thread talking about how Miles is better under the new guy's pen compared to Bendis, so it was a call back to that
Miles has never been a discount Parker in the comics, is my thing
this kinda stuff is just what mainstream superhero comics do
Comic Miles doesn't do graffiti or make beats like the movie and game versions of the character but the current ongoing run from 2019 by Saladin Ahmed has given him more.... exaggerated swagger
Let's see here:
Dated a Gwen Stacy
Has his own Clone Saga
Some of the same villains
Wore a symbiote at some point or another
Close enough for me
Static would never
They kissed like once.
Literally none of Pete's villains show up as antagonists in this.
"If you thought the first Clone Saga was controversial..."
Well, that's ominous. Then again, I'm still waiting for the fallout of Last Remains, so it could be just as siced

The Ultimate Clone Saga was pretty good, and introduced a pretty cool character with Ultimate Spider-Woman, but that was a long time ago. While Miles has his roots in the Ultimate universe, he as a character needs more unique stories instead of recycling Peter's. Maybe this will be cool, but I'm not super enthused.
