This storyline was a great little tale by Dezago. A great reminiscence about Ben by Peter being in the attic for the first time since their battleship game in Revelations. In the last part, after Pete's adventure with Dr Strange, Peter has a soul fly into him, which is implied heavily that it's Ben Reilly's soul (but never said outright). I e-mailed Dezago once and asked him if that was true and he replied that it is true and he would have made it clear in the narration, but the editor said to make the implication vague in case Ben Reilly ever came back (!!!).

Very cool story!

I also forgot that the Daily Grind cast have their first post-Ben appearance in that arc, and Desiree hunts down Peter at the Bugle to tell him that she "felt" his pain when he died (since she has psychic powers apparently). Loads of Ben references in that storyline.
