Marvel’s Most Infamous Spider-Man Story Was Actually Its Best Mistake
Most people want to forget one of Spider-Man's worst stories, but it actually gave us a lot more good than we give it credit for.
A comic book story ingrains itself into the minds of fans for one of two reasons: either it’s incredibly good or it’s so bad that it will haunt fans’ nightmares.
More popular characters, like Spider-Man, have plenty of awesome stories, but one of his most famous can never be forgotten for all the wrong reasons.
- The “Clone Saga” is widely regarded as one of the worst Spidey comics.
- It competes with the ever-controversial “One More Day” for the worst Spidey comic award.
The “Clone Saga” was an overbloated, convoluted mess that went on well longer than anyone wanted or intended.
Either the story is incredibly, generation-defining good, or it’s so bad that it will haunt fans’ nightmares for the rest of time.
