Spider-Man The Clone Saga

I've found myself needing to refer to information on the Clone Saga and it's various collections a few times recently - and know I will need to a lot more in the years to come as the Epics get into it - so I've decided to collect the information I have on it here in one place.

The main section on what comics were in what section of the story is mainly sourced from the Clone Saga Reading Order found at the bottom of the Marvel Wiki at Fandom.com - here's a link to the one for the first issue: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Web_of_Spider-Man_Vol_1_117#Notes. The same site also has a good page for the entire event: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Clone_Saga_(Event)

The books have been sourced by scouring through previews online catalog, which is an excelent resource for older trades - https://www.previewsworld.com/Search?mode=A&q=clone%20saga&Category=3.
