  Clone Saga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Clone Saga was a major story arc in Marvel Comics which ran from 1994 to 1997 involving many clones of Spider-Man.
The extremely complicated storyline is considered by many comic book fans to be a textbook example of a storyline which spun out of the control of the writers.
The second Clone Saga was inspired by Marvel Comics's determination to produce a strong Spider-Man "event" story that would rival DC Comics' storylines "The Death of Superman" and "Batman: Knightfall".

Carrion and Bueno were found not guilty on April 28 of assaulting University graduate Shahnawaz Khan at a March party at La Casa Bolivar, the Spanish House.
According to Carrion, the judge said in his verdict that because Khan had trespassed, and forcibly entered the house, Carrion and Bueno were acting in self-defense.
Carrion said another factor in the acquittal was the fact that when Khan was on the stand, he told a different account of the fight than the one he told the University Judiciary Committee earlier in the semester.

 The Spirit -- A Visionary Comics Character
Because the Spirit had to appeal to adults as well as children in the newspapers, Eisner and his assistants were given great license to innovate, to engage readers in a way that the comic might never had done had it been intended for the generally younger audience of comic books in the 1940s.
When Eisner was approached with the idea of a weekly comic book in 1940, both sides probably saw it as an interesting commercial opportunity to create something that could make them a lot of money.
One week the Spirit story might be an amazingly violent exploration into political corruption, while the next week might be a humorous piece about the Spirit's girlfriend being jealous of a female physicist who is trying to get the Spirit help her resolve a threat on her plans for a complex device to revolutionize warfare.

Carrion had the power to create a Red Dust which could spread disease, incapacitate, or even cause a body to just whither and die.

Owing millions of dollars to everyone from their printers to their own freelancers, this month’s announcement that CrossGen has filed for bankruptcy is a sad and indignant end to a lofty project.
Beautifully crafted, each dealt with themes not at all unfamiliar to comics readers, but they brought a fresh feel with them, top of the line artwork, and pleasurable writing.
It looked then as it still does now that the days of house artists are at a close; the comic book industry, like nearly every industry in this new age, is one where the talent follows the dollar, not out of arrogance but out of need.

The original creators are either long since dead or for some other reason without a soul, these morbid half-rotten carrion-ridden walking corpses of the comics that were bad when they were alive are now both terrifying and evil.
In fact, Mary Worth is one of several comics towards which I feel such antipathy as to generally consider even discussions about them to be verboten.
I generally put all comics like this under the heading of "Apartment 4G" as in "I decry the Apartment-4Gification of Luanne and Foxtrot." Somehow the word "apartment" lets me deal with this issue in isolation.

"Boom," Carrion said, "you could hear the impact." Then, the horrified family watched the manatee's tail float into the air before the animal slid into the churning white waves left by the powerboat's wake.
Carrion said he couldn't understand why the boat sped through an area where manatees were at play.

Carrion - He attacks in tandem with other Super-Villains, and he will hover around you, occasionally ducking down to suck your energy, in which case you'll have to jump around to get him off of you.
If some other Super-Villain is sticking around, you can avoid Carrion as you attack them, but this gets harder as the game progresses, so it's best to use some Super-Hero that hurts enemies in the air (Spidey or Venom work best, then Deathlok, Dagger, Cloak...) Demogoblin - You'll fight this guy in various situations.
