Extremely unsatisfying ending for the Clone Saga.
This is what happens when 90s comics get bloated. Because there were 5 titles enough, instead of telling good stories they had to tell big stories. Just endless content dragging on and on, with Mary Jane's pregnancy and lame robot villains until we just don't care anymore.
Finally, Marvel decided to show mercy and ended this saga. It's a shame, because one does have a bit of affection for the Ben Reilly clone character (maybe, I admit, that's just nostalgia). They really did him wrong in the end in the rush to put the mythos back to "normal" in the status quo sense.
Todd Dezago's writing is particularly terrible, but I suppose it's really the editors' fault. The finale illustrated by the great John Romita Jr is storytold as well as can be expected, but only visually.
Spoiler, turns out Norman Osborne the original Green Goblin is back and was behind it all manipulating the Jackal or something. It's totally obvious that this was never the roadmap intended and they were just making it up as they went along. Previous storylines make absolutely no sense with this context.
Well, somehow I made it to the end.
I cannot believe I actually spent money on this when I was kid...

A ret-con good ending fixing that trainwreck of the (awful but for some part) 90s Clone Saga.
Not as bad as I used to remember.

After reading The Amazing Spider-Man 1-180, other epic collections and Clone Saga Omnibus 1/Complete Clone Saga Epic book 4, I finally finished on this book: and it was great. I knew there was a lot of rubbish in the clone saga, but after doing research I chose to read this book: particularly the final part: Night of the Goblin. As a huge Green Goblin fan, I was curious to see how they brought back the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn, despite the controversy of the clone saga.
I really enjoyed this book and appreciated what they were trying to do. Even though I loved the Night Gwen Stacy died, and understood why people were annoyed they undid Norman’s death: I still liked the way in which they depicted him as being the secret mastermind behind the entire clone saga. It does make sense in some ways, despite the obvious inconsistencies, and I’m glad they went with Norman’s return rather than Harry Osborn.
This book did a good job building up to that explosive finale between Spider-Man and the original Green Goblin, and I loved it. The Gaunt and Seward Trainer issues were interesting, but obviously not as entertaining or important to me as the final part of Revelations.
Overall, I’m glad I read what I chose to read of the Clone Saga and would recommend to a Spidey fan to read the books I suggested!
