Marvel Comics teased a new Miles Morales Clone Saga yesterday, and today they’ve revealed more details. Dubbing it a “spin” on the classic Spider-Man storyline, the story will kick off in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25 as a culmination of ongoing threads that have been haunting Miles from the beginning of Ahmed’s run.
“When Peter Parker faced his own ‘Clone Saga’ years ago, he was taking part in what was already one of the most iconic traditions in comics – the hero battling a version of themselves. Since the very first issue of MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN, I’ve known that I wanted put Miles through that iconic wringer in his own distinctive way,” Ahmed said in a press release sent to AIPT.
“Miles’ CLONE SAGA is a story that has been months, even years, in the making. We’ve been planting its seeds throughout the series, from the horrors of being abducted by the Assessor to the confrontations and sacrifices of the Ultimatum epic. Moments from the past will come back to haunt Miles, and the events of the story will ensnare everyone from his baby sister to Peter Parker (who knows a thing or two about dealing with clones). The ramifications will be felt for years, and it all starts in April!”
