Ultimate Spider-man #98 - Marvel


This is part 2 of the clone saga. And do we have clones. Last issue Peter unmasked a Scopion wannabe only to find himself underneath. This issue he has taken that clone to Reed Richards to have him check it, him, out. Needless to say Peter is pretty freaked. Then Mary Jane dissapears. When Peter goes to look for her, in their secret spot, he comes across a Spider- woman? Or maybe a Spider-girl? Whoever it is, it almost looks like an MJ clone. But we don't know for sure. That's a mystery we haven't learned yet. Then we find out where MJ is being held. Well, not exactly where. But we do know that it's on the inside of an abandoned Oscorp factory. You just knew the Osbornes were going to be involved somehow. And it looks as if another Peter clone is holding her captive. At least MJ assumes it's Peter. We don't get a complete look at him, but it could be. Then on the last page, Peter goes to his old house, thinking that for some reason MJ might have gone there, but instead he runs across a Gwen clone. My, my, my. It appears that somebody has gotten a new set of cookie cutters. I just hope that this clone saga, won't be as convoluted as the one that ran through the Spider-man titles a few years ago. A clone story is like a time-travel story, they're neat to read, but by the end you have a headache from trying to figure it all out.
Regardless, I love this book.
