Ben Reilly’s second run with the Spider-Man mantle is a decidedly shakier one than his first. And that mainly involves one Miles Morales.

Spider, spider

Peter Parker is in the hospital, laid up with no end in sight. And with him out of action for the time being, his clone, the formerly ‘dead’ Ben Reilly has taken over as Spider-Man. That though, comes with a few strings and one very big problem.

There’s a company behind Ben you see, called The Beyond Corporation. And this shadowy group seems like it will be the driving force behind Ben’s return. But there’s more, as they’re looking to take out Miles Morales, since he’s an “unlicensed” Spider-Man.

Whatever way you slice it, there’s a ton and a half of fill-in Spidey action coming up, and it all happens this December.
