Clone Saga? Please god no. Bendis is really jumping the shark now.... May buy this just to see if it is a train wreck. Bendis is becoming the the Claremnont methinks.

I gave up on Powers a longtime ago, but I am still a big Oeming fan so I am interested to see what is up with this one. He has always has a lot of good ideas.

Ordinarily I'd be afraid of an Ultimate Clone Saga, but I enjoyed the Ultimate takes on Venom and Carnage. But it totally could blow too.

Bendis has kind of lost me since he took over the Avengers. Spider-man and Wolverine need to be on that team about as much as Batman needs another book.

Yeah, they're really pulling some obscure characters out. Me thinks they are running out of ideas. Especially since there are so many major characters that already need updates since they started it.
