    I am excited to see the return of Scarlet Spider. I hope it is Ben Reily that will be interesting to see. I would get the Scarlet Spider series. I guess as Spider Island comes to a close we will see who Scarlet Spider will be or at least see some clues and hints of his return.

    New costume is pretty cool. But nothing tops that tattered hoodie, one of my favorite designs in any comic.

    I'm going against the obvious, logical, and popular candidate of who Scarlet Spider will be and cast my vote for... Mary Jane! Because she has red hair and (as seen on the cover of ASM 671) now has Spidey powers and I'm being silly.

    (Yes, I know the Scarlet Spider is obviously a guy, but I don't think Marvel said anything about there being only ONE new hoodie-wearing arachnohero, yeah?) :D

    I do love the new costume but it'll be lame if Ben isnt behind the mask. BEN REILLY will always be the #1 SCARLET SPIDER!!!

    I just don't see Eddie completely losing his "symbiote"....there's got to be something that happens where he gets to keep it

    I saw "symbiote" in quotes because I don't really feel like Eddie's suit is really a symbiote like Venom and Carnage

    @danhimself: I'd go with that theory, except it really is basically white blood cells charged with the Venom symbiote by darkforce energy (Mr. Negative's powers). The entire suit was drained and clearly made into a giant vat of cure material. I'd love for Eddie to retain some powers, but Eddie becoming Scarlet Spider would be a bit weird (it could work, but still. A bit weird.)

    @InnerVenom123: it would be really redeeming for his character and maybe others would start to trust him more but I honestly liked Anti-Venom so I don't really want to see him gone so easily

    Look at the way the new SSpider's grasp has cut the guy in the bottom picture. Its obviously reminiscent of the mark of Kaine. I'm predicting that the scarlet spider's gonna be a more violent version of spiderman, though yost can make the whoe 'clone' concept work (he did for X 23).

    If it isn't Ben Reilly, I'd hardly call this the "return" of the Scarlet Spider. Just another case of a different character with a different costume re-using the old name.

    Big deal.

    THAT....LOOKS....SO....AWESOME!!!!!!!! I love his new outfit. Is he going to be darker or edgier now? The style him in these new images make me wonder if he will be an anti-hero kind of like Brock or even a villain. However, if this isn't Ben Reily and its Kaine or something then SCREW IT.

    Shame it isn't Ben Reilly. as it isn't really the Scarlet Spider in that case. Sad, he was the one good thing that really came out through the Clone Saga.

    If you've been reading Spider-Island, especially the last issue, I think it's pretty obvious who the new Scarlet Spider will be.

    Yes the return of the Scarlet Spider. Black and red for spider-man related characters is definitely popular this year. This makes me think Miles Morales might be the ultimate version of the new Scarlet Spider.

    @FadeToBlackBolt: Clone Saga was bad, but Ben was great. I myself was completely disenfranchised with Spiderman after Ben's death. I didn't care for him being Spiderman but I'd have wanted to keep him as the Scarlet Spider.
