To date, Amazing Spider-Man hasn't proven to be an essential companion to the Clone Conspiracy mini-series. This issue adds plenty of extra background information regarding how Scarlet Spider and Spider-Gwen fit into the conflict, but with one exception there are no crucial revelations here that couldn't already be gleaned from reading The Clone Conspiracy #2. This issue's strength rests more in the fact that it reads like a classic Dan Slott/Christos Gage issue of Amazing Spider-Man, whereas The Clone Conspiracy has struggled to find that appeal.
With this issue, Slott and Gage essentially fill in the gaps between Spider-Verse and The Clone Conspiracy as far as Kaine is concerned. The story covers his resurrection, his new working relationship with Karn and the personal struggle that drives him as he teams with Gwen and tries to halt the damage the Parker Industries/New U alliance is causing to the multiverse. Fans who pine for the days of the Scarlet Spider series will feel right at home here. Kaine makes for a a very compelling protagonist, arguably now more than ever. Always the man living in Peter Parker's shadow, now Kaine doesn't even have a world to call his own. It's enough to make you wish Kaine had a book of his own at the moment. Or, at the very least, that he could become the central protagonist of Amazing Spider-Man for the duration of Clone Conspiracy.
