Over the past year Peter Parker (and Spider-Man by extension) has been globe-trotting around the world as part of Parker Industries. But in The Clone Conspiracy, the biggest story since Spider-Verse, Parker will be hit a bit closer to home when people from his past begin to return. The catch is that these people shouldn’t be returning – they’re dead!
As the name suggests these returnees, which include past lovers and villains alike, are most likely clones. This is all because of The Jackal, who has had a love for with clones for decades and has created some headaches for Spidey because of it. When you’ve created a way to come back to life should you embrace it, or is there something more sinister behind the process? I guess you’ll have to read to find out!
It’s set to be a huge story, but sometimes big stories can be a bit confusing when tie-ins become involved. With the Spider-Man: The Clone Conspiracy Reading Order Checklist the intention is to eliminate the confusion with a handy list which lists all the comics and creators involved, reading order and even release dates.
I’ll update this reading order checklist as more information is revealed.
Read on to discover everything you need to know about this Spider-Man event.
