Amazing Spider-Man #17 continues the build-up to the Clone Conspiracy crossover, and this new chapter certainly doesn't disappoint. The fact that Spidey is barely a guest star in his own series isn't a drawback here. If anything, it on;y helps shine a light on the other side of this brewing conflict.
The Peter-light focus is useful, if for no other reason, than because it finally put the spotlight back on Hobie Brown. Hobie hasn't been a major focus of the series since the initial reveal that he's moonlighting as a decoy Spider-Man. Here we get to see Hobie settle into the role a bit more and struggle with the many challenges that come with being Spider-Man, from mastering the art of the quip to maintaining an ironclad secret identity. The issue starts out on a nicely comical note before transitioning into more dramatic fare as Hobie is dispatched to learn more about the inner workings of New U. There's a sort of inevitability to this story given what readers already know about New U and its creator. If Hobie were actually successful in this little bout of industrial espionage, there wouldn't be a Clone Conspiracy to deal with, right? But that knowledge only enhances the drama and tragedy in Hobie's ill-fated mission.
