Ben Reilly's Eternal Future in Amazing Spider-Man #60 & Chasm #3

Ben Reilly's Eternal Future in Amazing Spider-Man #60 and Chasm: Curse Of Kaine #3 (Spoilers)

Druig of the Eternals, a genetically superior offshoot race of humanity, often attempts to usurp power and control them but is always allowed back into Eternal society after each encounter to preserve unity as part of the cycle of events. But in tomorrow's Chasm: Curse Of Kaine #3, it looks like he is extending his manipulations to the Spider-people. Specifically Ben Parker and Kaine.

With his manipulation focused now on Ben Reilly, clone of Peter Parker, who once believed himself to be Peter Parker, formerly Scarlet Spider, now known as the demonic entity called Chasm.

And extending that to another clone, Kaine, who still goes by Scarlet Spider.

Which may also explain the goings on in Amazing Spider-Man #60, also out tomorrow. Which has Chasm bump heads with Spider-Man again, as Zeb Wells looks to wrap up his run.

And may initially seem as if they are taking the opportunity to bring this particular plot to an end…

… suddenly managed not to.

With two separate stories doubling down on this.

And learning that, no, Ben Parker wants it all again. The suggestion that he is owed more in life whispered in his ear?

The whispering just got very loud indeed…
