Amazing Spider-Man #608

We were first introduced to Damon Ryder in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #36.

In the present, Ryder attacked Peter as the Raptor, thinking Peter was really Ben and blaming him for his family's death.

We see more of Ben and Damon's history in #608...

In the present, Damon confronts Peter at the offices of Front Line. Peter manages to put a spider-tracer on his jacket, which leads him to an abandoned warehouse where he gets attacked by Kaine. Meanwhile, Damon pays a visit to Peter's roommate Michelle.

	Well, I guess at least on a bright side, at least the Marvel Universe acknowledges Ben existed rather than sweep him under the table with the rest of their seemingly "2nd clone saga never happened" mandate (Reply to this) (Thread)

Actually, they've done a number of clone saga references in the last couple of years. Peter mentions Ben Reilly a number of times in Mark Millar's run (to the point where I thought that, since the story was a take on "Hush", that Ben Reilly was going to be the evil mastermind ala Jason Todd) and during Civil War Peter's public alias as a teacher is "Ben Reilly". The principal compliments Peter by saying "I wish we could clone you" to which Peter responds, "No, you really don't want to do that."

	I've figured it out! OMD/BND is Clone Saga 2 done right. They're making Peter so annoying that we'll be begging them to bring Ben Reilly back. Also, Stegron called, he wants his stupid bit back. (Reply to this)

	The art is a bit confusing at times. Ben Reilly and Ryder look way too similar. In some panals it looks like Ryder has brown hair. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Agreed. I thought he was Ben at first. (Reply to this) (Parent)

As nice as it is to finally see Ben in a Spidey comic again, I'm really not feeling this story. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like if you're going to reintroduce Ben, then you need to - well - make the story about Ben instead of the crazy dude who thinks Ben killed his family.

It was nice to see Ben in the lab, though! I always liked seeing Ben doing that kind of work (I noticed he even worked as a science teacher once, years before Pete).

Oh, and I'm calling it right now. Either Kaine did the deed or Ryder killed his family and, having gone crazy with grief or something, has deluded himself into thinking Ben's the guilty one.

	Seriously. I half expected Damon's wife to ask if they were having an affair. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I know this is a comic book and everything, but your scientific research is silly. (Reply to this)

	Oh gods not that missing link crap that creationists spout. For the last time doesn't work that way. Evoultion is a series of progressions from one form to another over time, there's your damn links. (Reply to this)

	Well, this is intriguing, anyway, although the whole 'human/dinosaur hybrid' thing is kinda old hat by now. I'll be interested in seeing just how they explain away Ben being in such a monstrous position. Also - he pays Michelle a visit? Good! Here's hoping he falls for her and they start dating, thereby removing her from the book. I HATE that woman! (Reply to this)

	Tch, don't be crazy, it's totally plausible that Ben Reilly is a murderer. Totally. ~~I mock so I won't cry.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As an evolutionary biologist, that is utter crap. It is disproved by every evolutionary tree ever made and creating a hybrid would tell us nothing about the history. But, its about what I expected from post-BND. (Reply to this)
