History ComicBook / DeadNoMoreTheCloneConspiracy

* TheCameo: The pre-''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' version of ''ComicBook/TheNewWarriors'' as well as ComicBook/SpiderManIndia appear in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #22. ComicBook/SpiderManNoir is name-dropped as well.

* ShipSinking: Prior to this storyline shipping Peter with ComicBook/SpiderGwen was a relatively popular fanship. In this storyline it's revealed that Peter is actually really uncomfortable being around her, right down to writing her off as not being the ''real'' Gwen (at least under [[DependingOnTheWriter Slott's pen]]). The two don't exactly part of the best terms. Although by the time ''ComicBook/GhostSpider2019'' rolls around they seem to get along pretty well, with Peter acting as [[LikeBrotherAndSister something like an older]][[CoolBigBro -brother figure]] to Gwen as she navigates Earth-616.

* CloningBlues: It's a story involving the Jackal, it's part of the parcel. Subverted in that his new method may or may not qualify as cloning. Jackal himself insists on calling it 'resurrection'.

** [[spoiler:Ben Reilly has also ditched his CloningBlues but is now a villain. Miles Warren on the other hand, flips his lid and goes after Ben for making him think he was "an imposter".]]

''Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy'' (formerly ''Spider-Man: Dead No More'') is the 2016 BatFamilyCrossover for the ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' series of titles and a part of ''ComicBook/MarvelNOW2016''. The story is intended to tie up a number of plots from the early days of writer Dan Slott's tenure as ''Amazing Spider-Man'' writer.

** Madame Web still being blind is justified, as her powers are to blame for this: when she selected Julia Carpenter, Arachne and formerly the second Spider-Woman, as her successor and transferred her powers as she lay dying in ''Grim Hunt'', Julia lost her sight.

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Silk is attacked by Spider-Woman III, who had been killed during the Kravinoff family's Grim Hunt. Later, they meet as Cindy Moon and Mattie Franklin, discover they both know J. Jonah Jameson, and become friends. Tragically, [[spoiler:Mattie sacrifices herself to protect Silk from Carrion zombies, and crumbles to dust in her arms]].

*** Complicating matters is that clones can co-exist with a still living original (like in the case of Prowler) but we later learn that some characters like Ben Reilly and Billy Connors retain their soul and therefore are the original person truly resurrected.

In this storyline it's revealed that Peter is actually really uncomfortable being around her, right down to writing her off as not being the ''real'' Gwen (at least under [[DependingOnTheWriter Slott's pen]]).

* TheCameo: The pre-''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' version of ''ComicBook/TheNewWarriors'' as well as Spider-Man: India appear in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #22. ComicBook/SpiderManNoir is name-dropped as well.

The storyline kicks off with a series of prologues in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #16-19 that lead into a five issue mini-series, tie-in issues within ''Amazing'' and ''ComicBook/{{Silk}}'', and a spin-off starring the Prowler. %%In the aftermath, a new series will launch, ''Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider'', focusing on Ben's return to heroism and Kaine's quest to kill him.

''Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy'' (formerly ''Spider-Man: Dead No More'') is the 2016 BatFamilyCrossover for the ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' series of titles and a part of ''ComicBook/MarvelNOW2016''. The story is set to tie up a number of plots started up since the early days of writer Dan Slott's tenure as ''Amazing Spider-Man'' writer.

** Deconstructed. The main basis of the storyline as the Jackal resurrects various people from both sides of the alignment spectrum dead during all the Spidey history. The Jackal asserts often that it's not actually cloning, but something akin to "reanimation". However, their bodies are still [[ArtificialHuman vat-grown clones]] that degenerate even if all memory is retained so Peter doesn't consider it true resurrection, telling Gwen that though her sees her as a [[ClonesArePeopleToo real person with value entitled to life]], he can't see her as the "true" Gwen.

!!This story provides examples of:

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Unlike [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied the last time she died]], Gwen (or more accurately, a ''clone'' of Gwen with memories of the original), spent her final moments locking Spider-Man in the lab and staying behind to confront the Goblins ''head-on'' as a distraction.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Peter and Anna Maria are able to stop the cloning degeneration of many of the clones, but a handful still die, including the Rhino's wife, Jameson's family (Jonah begs Spidey not to tell Peter he was right), Jean [=DeWolff=] and the Stacys. A number of surviving villains are able to escape, including the Lizard, who has rescued his family. While Kaine is saved from his own degeneration, others such as the Prowler Clone and Mattie Franklin don't. Miles Warren is killed by Ben but Doc Ock snatches the final cloned body and runs for it while Ben rejects any hope of redemption. Peter also finds out that many of those cloned were in suspended animation and could still be saved, including Hobie Brown and the man who kicked off this event, however, they're still in the same condition they were in before their cloning and saving them may be impossible, which leads the wife of the man who kicked off the event to threaten to sue the pants off of Peter for lying and the Webware program is heavily damaged. The final ''Silk'' tie-in reveals that J. Jonah Jameson's involvment in the New U fiasco has lead to him being unceremoniously fired from Fact Channel.]]
