Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28closes out the young web-slinger's Clone Saga with plenty of emotion and action-packed sequences, paying off two years' worth of story threads. Wherever the creative team chooses to go from here, it's fairly clear that Miles will continue to carve out his path as Spider-Man under their guiding hand. Read Full Review

The stakes are high but I feel they may be a little too high in this story. Definitely a lot more compact and more story-driven than Peters own clone saga. In the end this was an enjoyable arc that gives great character beats for Miles and makes the reader fall more in love with this character if that were possible. Read Full Review

This Clone Saga doesn't really do much to redeem the original 1990's story (if you want that, you should read the Ultimate Clone Saga from Bendis). However, it works as a great addition to Ahmed's run on the series. It adds to Miles' growth and his trials and tribulation as Spider-Man. It is going to be interesting to see what Miles' next moves are. His family is growing and he still questions whether being Spider-Man is worth it, especially considering the effect his life has on them. This may be the end of Miles' Clone Saga, but it's only the start of more interesting things to come. Read Full Review

In the end, this was a strong enough arc that didn't need familiarity branding from Marvel to sell it; it also might be better than the original "Clone Saga" because it didn't overstay its welcome. Read Full Review

Miles Morales' Clone Saga comes to an end in a gloriously and tragically beautiful way as the brutal and stunning artwork showcases the final battle between Miles and Selim, who battle for their very lives. The issue hits the ground running and doesn't stop till it reaches the end, which is satisfying and also unsatisfying at the same time. Read Full Review

It was really good.

This issue is another banger that shows why Saladin Ahmed is the perfect writer to grow and develop Miles’ own personal mytho’s as Spider-Man.

Another story ends with how Miles influences the best in some people. I still felt a little sorry for Selim because of how much stress he went through. He did some bad things, but he was still wasn't even a year old yet and only recently became a teenager... dude's got issues.

Shift and Mindspinner certainly showed off their personalities. Shift especially has that childlike malleability to him in more ways than one. But now I wonder what's going to happen next for Miles. Some of Selim's actions still occurred and if Miles isn't careful, he's going to have a lot more stress come his way.

Wait what happened to Salim? Did he use an analogy if his childhood in this story?

Not exactly, that's more of background information the reader has to find. He was angry at the world for his life which caused a bit of neuroses when it looked like Miles was threatening his and his brothers' lives. He never really developed any social skills either, just be soldier that would be put out. He's actually rather similar to Kaine in these regards. As for his fate, it's best if you read the issue yourself.

ohhhhhh I misunderstood for a minute. See, I thought Selim was the AUTHOR's name and I thought the author had gotten through some rough stuff which is why he based this character on his childhood

A really sudden, but good end to Miles' Clone Saga. I would maybe have extended this arc a bit, but I recognize how a longer Clone Saga would trigger a post traumatic response in Spider-Man readers, so I forgive them for cutting it a little short.

Miles saves his sister from his evilest clone. It's touch and go until one of the others (Shift) throws in on the hero side of the equation. This is a nicely-crafted climax to Miles's Clone Saga; it's drawn particularly well. The prose doesn't disappoint (albeit it doesn't much impress, either), but there's something a little too safe, a little too cut-and-dried, to the plot developments. It's a well-told story, but not a particularly challenging one for either the creators or the readers.

It wasnt a bad ending but it was a little corny. That mural was typical comic book silliness. But i am curious as to the impact the remaining clone will have.
