Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25 is an entertaining issue that will make you a believer in a new Clone Saga story arc. You may rightly still have reservations, but it's clear Ahmed and Carnero have a good handle on pace and plotting, keeping the story relevant, grounded, and complex. Read Full Review

I am enjoying this run and my opinion of Miles remains high! Don't let the clones fool you - this is a great comic! Read Full Review

One gripe I do have with the clones that show up this issue is that they all look too similar to Miles. In the older stories, especially the Ultimate Clone Saga, the clones all had their own unique look and design. The upside is that Miles' clones come with a variety of different powers that make them a challenge. The allure of this arc is definitely the mystery surrounding the clones. The addition of Peter Parker to the story, who is finally taking a proactive role in Miles' drama, is a good start. As is the potential return of the Accessor. The success of this story is entirely dependent on how good the mystery is and hopefully, things will take an interesting turn. Read Full Review

Miles Morales' anniversary issue dives into the realms of nostalgia but brings its own unique style and twists to the 90s plot that it's paying homage to. Deeply engaging and energetic art hits the right notes to carry this dramatic and emotional storyline while making each of the action scenes stand out and feel as heavy as it should. A delightful and lighter backup story caps off the issue and showcases why Miles Morales is such a beloved character. Read Full Review

'Clone Saga.' These two words are enough to send a shiver down the spine of any Spidey fan, but Saladin Ahmed and Carmen Carnero set off Miles' double trouble with a bang in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25. The excitable team of Cody Ziglar and Natacha Bustos lighten the overall tone with a fresh and amusing backup story that captures the spirit of teenage super-heroism, while Saladin Ahmed turns up the heat until Miles' personality roils under the stress. Carmen Carnero's distorted trio of clones more than fulfill the heady promises of the word 'clone' in a Spider-Man context, shrugging off the bad vibes usually associated with this much-maligned combination of concepts.

The true start of the all-new "Clone Saga" is light on answers but offers enough of a narrative tease that it's clear this won't just be Miles' version of the classic Peter Parker storyline. Read Full Review

For me, just the name 'Clone Saga' is troubling, but this issue does well to keep things distinct from previous tales, and makes it clear that Miles is not Peter Parker, plus, the art is top-notch throughout. Read Full Review

In addition to the main story is a charming little backup by Cody Ziglar and Natacha Bustos, which serves as a fairly stark contrast to the Clone Saga lead. While the main story is sober and serious, Big-Time Buzzkill is bright and colorful, with lots of humor. Its not essential at all in regards to the headliner, but still worth checking out. Bustos, in particular, is a favorite of mine thanks to her fantastic run on Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, so Im not complaining about getting to see more from her. Read Full Review

A solid start. Art and writing are great in this one. MMSM continues to be a solid book!

So, I've never had issues with Clone Saga. I know I know, but those are my oldest Spidey books and how my collection started. So they are nostalgic for me (with Bagley's art).

With that out of the way, I can tell that I was interested in Miles' Clone Saga. It doesn't feel like Peter's did, as the motivations and clones seem to be different. Also Miles' whole world is so different, Pete had a child coming back then with MJ and Kaine incriminating him of murders. Miles has his own problems currently and unlike Peter back then, he has people he can talk about this.

So all on all, I really liked this. I started rereading Ahmed's run before this and I remembered once again how good this run is.

And if people are talking how this is too soon for Clone Saga, Ultimate Peter Parker was even younger when he was cloned and his run had lasted for 6 years. Miles has been with us for a decade now, so let's not start comparing this to Mainstream Peter's life. more

Miles gets fully stuck into his personal Clone Saga. He gets only a little Peter Parker support at the start (and has to fight a misunderstanding brawl first); by the end, he's on his own. This issue holds to the volume's standard formula: Solid but safe plotting, lifted up by a deeply realistic and empathic portrayal of the protagonist. The B strip is a cute idea with VERY cute art, but the dialogue serves mainly as a reminder that writing good Gen Z dialogue is a lot harder than Saladin Ahmed makes it look.

The main story worked well. I liked seeing Peter involved, since he should be. The clone designs are cool. The backup didn't need to be there, however.

Its probably been the best in issue of the past few. It feels like it has stakes, sets the table for the arc and also has Peter in it so thats always a plus when they team up.

This was pretty good.
