    Hello, friends

    !!REEALLY OLD SCHOOL SPOILERS!!

    I just picked up the Clone Saga collection on ComiXology and wanted to ask if there was someone who could give a general summary of the situation previous to the story. Spider-Man seems to respond oddly when his clone calls him Peter Parker (Web of Spider-Man #117 - Power and Responsibility, Part 1: Shadow Rising). I know one of these is Ben Riley and I think I remember hearing somewhere that Spider-Man is actually Ben Riley here, but then the professed clone in this issue doesn't preclude that he's the original Peter Parker, but confesses that he is a clone.

    If someone could sum up what's been going on in Spider-Man's life up to this point briefly and/or just give me the necessary (or helpful) bullet points that would be great. If you have to spoil things from before the Clone Saga, it's cool, but I'd prefer not.

    Thanks in advance!
