This thread's for the Spider-Man comics and spin-offs, whether they're decades old or brand new.
- Apart from the main Marvel Universe titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man "What If?" stories, crossovers, guest appearances in other books, Alternate Universe tales and things like Marvel's manga adaptations are all on-topic here.
- Spider-Man 'family' books are on-topic (as are their own crossovers, guest appearances etc.) - e.g. Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Carnage, Black Cat, Red Goblin and Spider-Verse.
- Characters and comics that originated in Spider-Man but are no longer directly connected to the spider-franchise (e.g. Punisher, Silver Sable) are not on-topic, unless you're discussing historical connections and crossovers. If in doubt, check before you write a long post. If this isn't the right place, there's a more general Marvel Comics thread
which covers them.
Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about their Spider-Man stories here.
Discussions that are only about Spider-Man adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.
Please follow the spoiler policy rules - tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics. When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

The thing is OMD and its effects only affected Spider-Man's world. The rest of the Marvel universe is continuing on and Peter and his supporting cast are kinda in limbo.

The Peter that appears outside of his own series is like a way different character too. Like seriously read his incredible hulk, daredevil apperances.

What are we talking about when we say reverse? Because how I envision it getting reversed is Peter finding out what happened and having a final showdown against Mephisto. Maybe some cosmic retcon where the marriage gets fit back in like Superman Reborn, where the New 52 Superman merged with the post-crisis Superman and history got rewritten to accomidate his marriage and son. I might even throw in a time-travelling Spider-Girl to help in the battle. Maybe she's even the reason Peter finds out about the deal.
And if you wan't to really get crazy, follow up on what happened to the 616 Mayday, reveal she's alive and well and give her back to Peter and MJ. Then set up a status quo similar to what was seen with Peter B. Parker in Across the Spider-Verse.
But that's just me bullshiting my way through a pitch.

Hot question: if there's supposedly "no room" for Ben Reilly, why bother keeping him alive?
Because fans like him, and he is useful as a superhero for Boston, or maybe Portland Maine.
Funny but not helpful
Ben is dead to me until he apologizes for coming up with a nothing name like Chasm

Next time he appears, dude just looks at the suit like it was something edgy middle schooler phase.
Wake me up at your own risk.

And heβs currently refusing to be fixed for some reason.

So where's Kaine?
I mean I hate to lump them together and say if one appears the other must as well, but yeah. If you're having one clone pop in can you at least mention the other?
...did Spidercide ever get revived? I remember Jackal mentioning "Spidercide 2.0" but nothing else.

Kaine took a look at all the nonsense and noped out to Texas.

The sleepiest good boi
He's apparently part of the Spider-Society.
And, yes, they specify that it's the actual Earth-616 Spidercide, not the 616B that Jake Johnson's Peter is from. Also, the actual Ultimate Tarantula.

Spidercide recently showed up in Spine-Tingling Spider-Man.

So Jameson Now has control of his Man wolf persona. When did that happen.

kaine is actually gonna be in a book with ben soonish. dealing with druig the eternal.

The Eternals can keep the embodiment of genocide locked up for thousands of years but they canβt keep Druig under lock and key for even a year?

And then had locked him up with the embodiment of genocide too.
he/him
It's not as if killing him is an option. Even if Uranos does, Resurrective Immortality will bring him straight back.
But given that the Eternals mythos has established that nobody breaks out of the Exclusion (Kronos and Uranos have been in there for hundreds of thousands of years) — or at least that they don't admit there have been any breakouts — if Druig is out then either he had a really good plan, or the Eternals' current leadership brought him out as a Boxed Crook.
Either could be interesting.

So what's up with Jackal's appearance? Is he wearing a suit or did he clone himself to look like that?

It's usually just a suit, although The Spectacular Spider-Men just had a Jackel clone that was a giant mutated Jackel, so bit of column a, bit of column b.

Someone in the Marvel Universe is making a killing out of all these super expressive monster costumes. Both GG and the Jackal can attest to their quality.

The Lizard is the only major Spidey villain I can think of who actually transforms. The rest are usually just in really skintight costumes.
He turned himself into an actual beast man during The Clone Saga, but then The Clone Conspiracy revealed that the beast man Jackal was really a clone who was presumably subservient to (or at least "programmed" to carry out the will of) the actual costume-wearing Jackal.
There's minor ones like Vermin and Carrion (the second one, at least).
I really have no idea how you'd reverse OMD in the way people here are suggesting without fucking over the rest of the Marvel line-up.
If I want to see people half-ass a reboot, I read DC for that.
