I'll be honest and admit [if I haven't already] I gave up on Marvel after the 90's Clone Saga fiasco. I was already reading the new GL Kyle Rayner from DC, I loved legacy characters at the time. With Ben Reilly being intro'ed as a lost Scarlet Spider, Kaine as an additional clone and menace, I wasn't even bothered with the whole is he/isn't he the original Peter argument. I was mostly upset with after continuing to follow Ben into his career as Spiderman proper, he was killed off in a way he was said could never happen by none other than the original Green Goblin. 

I bought a few comics here and there but stopped following Marvel for a long time. I got #1's of the Ultimates and later the polybagged Ultimate Spiderman [featuring Miles in his current suit] #1. I got the Marvel Knights Madrox series and loved every issue. And I got the Clone Saga mini for how it was supposed to have played out, and I collected the Hickman run of F4 that lead me into buying Future Foundation until Johnny returned. Bought the first couple issues of the original Young Avengers mini. That's about it.

I had planned on collecting the first Sentry series because I loved the history behind the lost character. After it was said to be a hoax I just got pissed at Marvel and continued not really buying their stuff. In the same sense I was stoked they were bringing back the classic Capt. Mar-Vell during Civil War only for it to be a Skrull. I would've been buying the last couple Spidey 2099 titles cause I loved the classic run, but for some reason he's not in 2099 and I have no interest in reading about ANOTHER alt Spiderman in the mainstream universe.
