Would that it were. The opening splash this month looks weirdly nothing like Sal at all. Not the posing, not the figures, nothin’. Color Separations by Malibu, for all the fans really…

Maximum Clonage Alpha
I believe this is what they called a “chromium” cover. To date, I don’t know what that actually means. So, years prior to this, the Spidey titles ran an interminable 14-issue story…
TAC 226
While it’s true they’ve been sewing doubts and trying to get you to wonder about this for months, using this cover copy at all kind of tips their hand, in my opinion….

ASM 270

ASM 268
So you see, John Byrne’s covers for this issue and the previous one are one big image, which sort of makes it look like Spider-Man is teaming up with himself if you…
