Rumours that Marvel Comics is planning to revisit controversial Spider-Man story arc the Clone Saga have begun to circulate after details of an upcoming issue appeared on a French comic blog.

According to Superpouvoir, Marvel will reboot the contentious storyline in September with a six-issue mini-series. Howard Mackie and Tom Defalco are reportedly attached as writers, while Todd Nauck will pencil the first issue.

It has been speculated that the series will follow the same format as the recent X-Men Forever, in which writer Chris Claremont revisited the Marvel universe of 1991 to continue the X-Men saga as he originally intended.

The previous Clone Saga ran from 1994 to 1996, gaining infamy for its convoluted plot. The series followed a chain of chaotic events involving the many clones of Spider-Man.
