spidermanclonesaga1GREETINGS WEBHEADS!

One of the most anticipated days of this fans collecting life has come to pass. For on this day, we got one of the most anticipated mini-series’ in the past several years, The Clone Saga’s Directors Cut. Way back in 1993, Superman was dead (And then alive) Batman was replaced (And brought back) and Marvel was getting their butts handed to them. Howard Mackie [Writer- Spider-Man, former writer of WEB] was one of the writers of the books, and Terry Kavanagh [Who replaced Mackie on WEB] came up with the CRAZY idea of bringing back the Clone. Howard Mackie took a very detailed outline that 15 years later, would prove to be monumental. Why? It’s the Clone Saga, as it was intended.  Tom DeFalco, who was editor in chief at the time and approved the story, is back as writer for this issue,and the next five along with Howard.

spec129

This weeks issue of “Amazing Spider-Man” (number 606 for those who don’t know) called into question who dumped who in the Spider-Man/Black Cat relationship. Here is the page from “Spectacular Spider-Man” issue 129 where the relationship ended for good. At this point Felicia is living with Peter but secretly working with the Foreigner to frame him for murder. Peter finds out by overhearing a phone conversation (which Felicia later said was meant to be heard) and this is his reaction. So who dumped who? Judge for yourselves.
