Part 3, ‘Clone Sagas,’ stars the Ben Reilly Spider-Man and a bone-clawed Wolverine.

****ING.

AWESOME.

So it's basically X-Men/Spider-Man Unlimited. Interesting.

“But we do get some out-of-costume Parker moments in #1, along with Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson, as they and the original X-Men (in their civilian clothes) all wind up at the Coffee Bean--and hijinks ensue!”

Ok, this needs to be changed to the 'Cafe A Go-Go' post haste!

When he heard the title, I'm guessing that a couple of $ appeared on Joe Q's eyes and he begun to drool and scream in excitement.

Anyway, sounds pretty cool.

Gage is a strong writer, I am looking forward to buying CW HoM and this. For November Gage gets the chance to write Lorna in potentally two different comics which is nice. I am crossing my fingers and hoping they are good.

I'm afraid Lorna will not be in the X-Men/Spider-Man mini. (Though she is referred to.) But I hope you like the House of M book!

Thanks for the heads up, I still might pick it up.

I am really looking foward to CW House of M, how far along writing that series are you?

Plenty of Beast though, I hope.

I noticed that the first story involves Kraven the Hunter. Just checking if this has any bearing on the X-Men: The Hidden Years story where Kraven uses his 'Feral Powder' on Beast and regresses him into an almost feral state. And Hank nearly kills Kraven before the X-Men can stop him.

Over time, the X-Men’s reputation grew and they were sought out by Kraven, the Hunter, who wanted to hone his skills in battle against the Beast. To ensure that the X-Men would agree to a duel, he had their houseguest, Avia, poisoned and would only provide them with the antidote once the fight was over. The two combatants battled on the Xavier estate, but Kraven had prepared many traps and Hank was hit by some drugged darts. Actually, the venom’s purpose was to slow down the blood flow to the Beast’s brain, to dull his reflexes, but they had some unwanted side-effects. With his higher brain functions inhibited, Hank regressed to a more feral nature and went into a berserker rage. He would have killed Kraven if his teammates hadn’t separated the fighters. [X-Men Hidden Years #17] For a time, Hank worried that a similar incident could happen again and so held back during the fights, but over time he overcame this fear. Also he and Vera slowly, but surely, lost track of each other as their lives seemed to take different directions.

To heck with Lorna. I'm on board for Ben Reilly!

Three issues completed. Starting on #4 soon.

Beast, this story will not reference that Hidden Years story so as not to get unduly continuity-heavy, but there's nothing to contradict it either.

Thanks for the virtual hugs!
