Amazing Spider-Man #149 Debuts The Clone At Heritage Auctions

Amazing Spider-Man #149 has become a pretty important book as of late. Featuring the debut of the Spider-Clone and the origin of Jackal, with all of the Ben Reilly shenanigans going on, this book has seen some extra heat on it. This copy, taking bids at Heritage Auctions today, is as good as it gets, really, a CGC 9.8. There are some rumors that Jackal and Reilly may be popping up in Spider-Verse part 2, which would make this book a huge key going forward as well. It might be the time to snag this. This rare copy is at $2100, which is what this grade should be fetching. Check it out below, Amazing Spider-Man fans.
