I enjoyed the first issue of this arc quite a bit. I like the idea that having a clone is causing problems in Pete's life, as it only seems natural that at some point having an exact replica of yourself running around will cause some confusion. I was initially worried that this issue would have too much back story, as many readers may not be completely familiar with the "Clone Saga", but that was not the case. It managed to explaining Raptors weird "dinosaur powers" and Ben's connection to Dr. Ryder quickly and sufficiently, leaving plenty of space to get this arc moving forward in the first issue. The confrontation at Front Line was great, as it not only showed Peter's dilemma of being unable to prove he is not Ben without revealing that he is Spider-man, but it also manages to make Peter's life more complicated by having to explain the whole situation to the Front Line staff. The end of the issue is great, as we are left with Raptor about to attack Michelle and Spider-man in the hands of Peter's other clone; Kaine. I more or less figured Kaine would be making an appearance in this arc, as it would make more sense if Kaine killed Raptor's family, but I did not really expect to see him in this issue, let alone free and about to attack Spider-man.
The art in the book was pretty good. Nothing spectacular (or amazing or sensational or..ok sorry I'm done) about it, but it was good overall. I do really like the cover, as it is nice to have a more sinister cover after the last few issues have focused on Mary Jane and Black Cat (not that there was anything wrong with some of those, just good to get something different). The issue has a bit of a "1990's" vibe to it, which I suppose is to be expected with the story being connected to the "Clone Saga" and because Raptor really seems like the type of character that would have been made at that time. Norah even makes a crack about Raptor looking like he was from the 1990's. This is ok with me, as it reminds me more of the good issues of Spider-man that came out during that time, before the "Clone Saga" got way out of hand.
Overall, a pretty good issue, especially for one that is beginning an arc that requires some back story. The end really picked the issue up and made what would have been a 4 star rating a 4.25 star rating.
My rating: 4.25/5
