The premise of Spider-Man The Clone Saga Issue 6 (2010) brings the clone conflict to its climactic conclusion, as the battle between the two Spider-Men and the Green Goblin reaches its peak. The issue opens with Ben Reilly, who has taken up the mantle of Spider-Man, prisoner of the Green Goblin, who is revealed to be Harry Osborn, alive and driven mad by his hatred for Peter .

Harry’s goal is to take away everything from Peter, to destroy his family as he thinks Peter destroyed his . Meanwhile, Kaine, the murderous clone, delivers Baby May safely back to Mary Jane and Aunt May, declaring that “Kaine will never trouble them again” before disappearing .

The final confrontation sees Peter, Ben, and even a cloned version of Norman Osborn, who has been manipulated by Kaine, teaming up to fight Harry . In a moment that echoes the original story, Norman is impaled by the spikes meant for Ben, a sacrifice that stops Harry’s rampage . In the end, Ben Reilly rides off into the sunset, leaving Peter as the rightful Spider-Man, with the series concluding on a note of hope and resolution .

The character dynamics in Spider-Man The Clone Saga Issue 6 (2010) have been a highlight of the series, with the creative team providing a more satisfying ending for the characters than the original saga. The decision to keep Ben Reilly alive and have him ride off into the sunset, rather than dying in the original “Revelations” storyline, has been praised by fans as a more fitting conclusion for the character .

The issue also provides a more nuanced portrayal of Kaine, showing his humanity shine through as he returns the baby to Mary Jane and Aunt May . The use of Harry Osborn as the mastermind, while controversial for its departure from the original saga’s Norman Osborn reveal, has been defended as a logical extension of Harry’s madness and his history with Peter . Some critics have noted that the final scene feels rushed and underexplained, but overall, the issue provides a more emotionally satisfying conclusion than the original Clone Saga .

The artwork in Spider-Man The Clone Saga Issue 6 (2010) by Todd Nauck, with inks by Victor Olazaba and colors by Javier Tartaglia, continues to capture the mid-1990s aesthetic of the original story while adding its own dynamic energy.

The cover by ChrisCross and John Rauch is a standout, depicting the final confrontation between the two Spider-Men and the Goblin. The interior pages feature a mix of violent action and quiet emotional beats, with Nauck’s expressive character work bringing the tension and resolution to life .

The issue features multiple variant covers for collectors, including the main cover by ChrisCross and John Rauch, and retailer incentive variants. The issue has a cover price of $3.99 and consists of 24 pages . The series has been collected in a trade paperback, Spider-Man: The Real Clone Saga, which collects all six issues .

The critical reception for Spider-Man The Clone Saga Issue 6 (2010) has been generally positive, with the series being praised for its efficient retelling of the sprawling original story. The Spider-Man Crawlspace gave the issue a 4.5 out of 5, praising the creative team for delivering a more satisfying ending for the characters, particularly the decision to keep Ben Reilly alive and have him ride off into the sunset . However, CBR gave the issue a 4.0, noting that while the final issue escapes the trap of being too compressed, it still has many problems, including a rushed, underexplained final scene .

The series has been described as a “nice trip down memory lane” that revises Ben Reilly, Kaine, and the other elements of the original Clone Saga in an interesting way .
