The Life Of Reilly

Got a few hours to kill? Want to read about all the sordid saga of Ben Reilly, the “other” Spider-Man? Tired of leading questions like these?


Check out The Life of Reilly, a series of 35 (!) columns detailing the whole long sordid “Clone Saga,” the folks in Marketing pushing the whole thing, all the stories that Could Have Been, DVD-style commentary from writers and editors of the Spider-Man comics of the era, and generally a whole lot of time-killing goodness.
