For those who missed the infamous Clone Saga and would like to read it here's the short checklist version:
Thanks for the list, Joss!

I'm one who got most of the "Clone Saga" and i'm really tempted to get this mini.

No problem Dan!
Yes, I know Peter & MJ's baby disappeared but since Marvel editors never mentioned lil' May ever since we can consider her as "dead" & or " forever forgotten".
I remember having been so happy for Peter & MJ being parents (the revelation came in a Spectacular issue around October '94) and deciding to just get rid of the baby altogether was to me simply outrageous.
By the way, for those who remember Alison Mongrain, the awful woman that had stolen the baby at the clinic seemed to have kidnapped a cat more than a baby! I swear: flip thru the pages of your ASM collection around the De Falco/Skroce time (around issue 425) !!!
I never really understood that silly cat / baby subplot!!!

Didn't she actually have a tablet/book that Norman needed for some ceremony? They put up the red herring that she'd taken the baby, but that turned out not to be the case, if I remember correctly.

I thought the biggest problem was that it went on way too long, kind of like the Trial of Barry Allen. Just end it and move on please! It would have been an interesting way to move on from the married Spider-Man without him having to sell his soul or whatever. Oh well, maybe it would be best to just ignore the past and move on.

Believe it or not, the Trial of Barry Allen did not last nearly as long as people think, it just felt that way! The trial began in #340 and ended at #350, which also marked the end of the series.

For 1985, The Trial of Barry Allen seemed like an epic to me.
These days they would drag the thing out for longer than 11 issues.

Yeah but 10 issues in 1984(?) was a very long plotline. These days on uncompressed storytelling, not so much....but back then?

As I understand it, part of the reason the Trial of Barry Allen went on so long is that Cary Bates was told the book was being cancelled, but wasn't told when, so he just sort of dragged the story out rather than start a new one.

Believe me, I definitely agree. There's even a letter of mine that was printed (IIRC in #347) threatening to drop the book with #350 if they didn't end the story soon! Of course with it being pre-internet, I had no idea that #350 was going to the last issue no matter what.
It wasn't that the story itself was so long, it's that it was incredibly BORING. That made it feel as if it was going on for 2+ years.

I'd thought that the Trial of Barry Allen went on for like six years... I just couldn't get away from it.
I for one will embrace this new Clone series... only good will come of it!

For what it's worth, I always thought Mongrain had the baby and we'd see it again. That is until a couple years later when we discovered the package was actually Aunt May.
