Todd & Joe Have Issues Week 1: Jonah Hex vs. the Spider Clone Saga
Decided to dust of this old chestnut for the new year! You don’t need to follow along to enjoy, but of course if you want to, feel free to!
I read Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Grey’s All-Star Western as part of DC’s New 52 and enjoyed it very much, so Todd has assigned me, the precursor to that series, Jonah Hex
I am a fan Jimmy as both a creator and a person from his social media so I am very much looking forward to reading “more of the same” especially if it includes scenes like this:
Todd will be, luckily and very straightforwardly assigning me 1-3 issues a week until around the late 50s or so, this week reading issues one and two.
I on the other hand, am assigning a much more daunting task and that would be the Spider Clone Saga.
A very maligned story from the 90’s, covered in great detail at the Life of Reilly blog from 2008, to read the entire run would be well over 150 issues. I have been able to distill things down to 80 issues.
This week, I’m assigning Todd Web of Spider-Man #117 and Amazing Spider-Man #394, the first two parts of Power & Responsibility, where Peter and Ben come face to (cloned) face for the first time and we are introduced to Judas Traveller, a nigh omnipotent force seemingly behind the return of the clone.
