    Yeah, and this time Scarlet Spider will probably be Spiderman's greatest foe. Cause you know, superheroes seem to need a villain that knows them, has the same powers but is evil etc. Let's see, Reverse Flash, Jason Todd, Venom, Carnage, Red Skull (cloned body of Steve Rogers) Sinestro, Bizarro and Black Adam to name a few! (Notice Spiderman already has / had Venom & Carnage) We shall see, but it is interesting that Marvel even wants to pull anything from the mess that was the clone saga!

      I guess they need a new evil doppleganger now that Flash Thompson is Venom (not a bad series thus far... Flash has inherited the Parker luck).

      Although there is Anti Venom running around with the Avengers as well.

      Don't know what happened to Kaine (yet another clone I think), or Six armed Spiderman Doppleganger that stuck around after the Infinity War.

          Hmmmm....

          That's not the 90's! Where are the pouches and shoulder pads? Rampant crosshatching? And that's almost an action shot, not a pose....

            When I think of the 90's, only one thing jumps to mind when it comes to Marvel comics - Clones. The bane of all story lines.

              what does everyone have a leather jacket or overcoat on? The 90's was the decade of the clone and bad jackets over hero costumes


              as far as the villian with identical powers, that WAY predates the 90's as you listed off some.
              Reverse flash - Prof Zoom first appears in the 60's but technically the idea of the reverse flash actually dated to a Flash comics story in issue 104 1949 the late 40's THE RIVAL who was a Jay Garrick adversary
              Black Adam - first appeared in 1945
              Bizarro - 1958, nevermind the Phantom Zone escapees
              Sinestro - 1961

                    The title to this thread should read, "Sure sign that I won't be buying any comics for the next 10 years". Please God, why are DC and Marvel going back to an era long considered to be one of the worst in comic history to pull out new, fresh ideas? Why I say, Why!

                        ^^^^ Legend had that promise with Byrne, Mignola, Miller, Art Adams, etc but it fell apart quickly.

                          >why are DC and Marvel going back to an era long considered to be one of the worst in comic history

                          The 90's were 20 years ago.... that's about how long it takes for nostalgia to kick in. (Hence all the Power Rangers refrences on the nerdly sites these days.) It's time for the next generation to lament the good ol' days. And I gotta say, I'm both scared and enthralled....

                          >something like Image but this time with some substance and artist/writers who can stay on time every month

                          So.... nothing like Image then?

                            ^^^ Speaking of Power Rangers, just look at the NOVA ad for the point one issue i swear Nova stole the gold rangers helmet

                            But i fear you are right about the twenty year thing and all i have to say is watch out for the evil Olsen twins they're comin i tell you
