I was around 18 when the Clone Saga started for Spiderman. At that time I had subscriptions to several Marvel comics. 2 Spidey titles and (IIRC, that was a looong time ago for me) 2 X-Men.
I canceled my Spiderman subscriptions after the clone saga started and they split the 4 spiderman books in half between the 2 spiders. My 2 books started following "Ben" and not "Peter". Incensed at what I felt was a piss poor storyline from marvel I canceled. Not long after that I canceled X-Men as well.
I stuck with Image for awhile after that, but not too long until I grew tired of them as well.
I still love super-heros. Comics always have a fond place in my heart. But the clone saga was the beginning of the end for me. Comics got too weird, too convoluted, and too damn stupid at times.
