This April, one of the most controversial characters in Marvel history returns to don the mask (and hoodie!) once more. Today, Marvel is pleased to announce BEN REILLY: THE SCARLET SPIDER #1 - the new series from New York Times Bestselling creators Peter David (Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099) and MARK BAGLEY (Ultimate Spider-Man, All-New X-Men)! That's right, Ben Reilly is webslinging his way back into comic shops everywhere later this year and he's bringing two of the most accomplished & beloved Spider-Man creators of all-time with him! Only question is - will it be as a hero...or a villain? It was the twist that shocked the world. Ben Reilly had returned, but not as he once was. Twisted and manipulated by the villainous Jackal, the fallen clone is out to break the cycle, and reclaim his destiny. Not as Peter Parker's clone - but as his own man. Will suiting up once more as the Scarlet Spider be enough to outrun his personal demons? All while being able to stay one step ahead of the man hunting him - Kaine Parker - the former Scarlet Spider?! FINAL COVER MAY VARY. ALLOCATIONS MAY OCCUR.
