I quit reading Spider Man with the clone saga. Every once in a while I would thumb through an issue at the newsstand. Anybody who has read an issue of Wizard knew where this was going. I'm not surprised they did it but am very glad I hadn't put any money in Marvel's coffers over the past ten years or so.

There is a very lengthy and heated thread about this reboot at a comic message board which has spoiler warnings.
