July 5, 2012 1:54 pm As much as I love 'em, if they take Spidey out of the Avengers, that's 2 books I don't have to buy anymore, since he's the reason I buy them anyway. Might go digital for it, though. I can now imagine new people in comic shops across the nation all standing in a row at Marvel books every few months pointing their iPhones or whatever other smartphones carrying the Marvel AR app, just so they can get their "catch-ups" and not bother buying the books.

July 4, 2012 8:54 pm Was Dr. Ratha's limo driver the robber who killed Uncle Ben from the original trilogy?

July 4, 2012 7:37 pm This. I was so hoping it was going to live up to the hype, and it didn't.

July 4, 2012 12:44 am Did you read the Timestorm mini from a few years back? He played a fairly big part in it.

July 4, 2012 12:42 am As a guy with a sometimes gnarly beard who has also worn a luchadore mask with it, I can say that if Kaine had kept the beard, he'd be even more surly. It is not fun to be bearded and wear a full face mask.

July 4, 2012 12:39 am Ben Reilly was my Spider-Man at first. I started reading comics at that point in Clone Saga II when Reilly was revealed to be the "real" Peter Parker. I read all the books, and I loved the character, even understanding that I also loved Peter Parker. I had 2 Spider-Men there, what wasn't to love. And then when it was all said and done, Marvel had resurrected Norman Osborn as the puppeteer and Ben really was the clone the whole time, and Peter had retaken his rightful place as Spidey. So, because of that, I really don't get the hate people have for him. He was a complex guy, looking to make a new life for himself, thinking he was the real deal the whole time. I can dig that.

July 4, 2012 12:32 am Spider-Man does not need a reboot. So shush. This better not mean the end of either Scarlet Spider or Venom, as those are both great books.

July 4, 2012 12:30 am @fo sho, there's a Black Nick Fury now in the 616. Unveiled in the Battle Scars mini that came out after Fear Itself.
