Most of Marvel's crossover events last about 6-months to a year. The Spider Clone Saga was suppose to end in the middle of when Age of Apocalypse was going on. Bob Harras, the X-men editor, was given the editor reigns of Marvel. Since the the Clone Saga was to end on Ben Reilly being the real Peter and Norman Osborn being behind it, that would have overshadowed Bob's beloved X-men (who was just a bit more popular at the time). Couldn't have that so extend the Clone Saga until AoA was over. That pretty much lost a lot of Spider-man fans back then. The mid-90s worked super hard to kill the comic book industry. No doubt. Batman and Superman had 3 back to back major crossovers that was really one big story each character. The X-men crossovers led into each other with a few issues in between or going into the lead in issues (Legion Quest were issues that led up to AoA). Sometimes X-men was the worst at this because they'd have half a year of issues in all the X-men books leading into that crossovers that might as well have been a part of the crossover. |
