Interior pages for ASM #151

It's WILD that Pete straight up deposes of his clone thinking he's dead, he hated Ben Reilly out of the gate

Then Spidey proceeds to get his butt kicked by The Shocker, which kind of feels like karma lol

It doesn't read here like he hated him. But seriously what do you do with a dead clone?
Anyone finding your dead body is going to mess up your life badly.

Oh, for sure! They definitely give a good reason to want to toss it and hide the crime

The fact that Ben was alive though makes me wonder if he checked for a pulse 😅

It's comics. Checking the pulse doesn't mean anything.
It was retconned 20 years later. The intent of the writer at the time was that he was dead.

I get that, I was having fun with it looking at the narrative that was crafted long term

Like you say, its comics. Comics are supposed to be fun and I am having fun 🫡

Cool. :)

I just always find it a bit awkward when we start drawing conclusions about characters based on things that weren't true or intended when they actually happened.
