** From the same arc, specifically page 21 of issue #11, we see Spider sitting in a public toilet. In the background a sign can be seen, which reads 'WRITING GRAFFITI ON THESE WALLS WILL INDUCE A CHEMICAL SPRAY CAUSING BLINDNESS'. Why is this funny? Because literally right next to it are the letters 'F', 'U', 'C', and what appears to be an unfinished 'K', implying not only that someone ignored the sign right in front of them, but that it was actually telling the truth.

-->'''Yelena:''' Okay! I admit it! '''[[spoiler:I FUCKED SPIDER JERUSALEM!]]''' ''[[BeatPanel (extremely awkward Beat Panel)]]'' What are you assholes staring at?
* I ''dare'' you to keep a straight face while imagining Patrick Stewart ''[[PatrickStewartSpeech reading]]'' the [[http://madeofmeat.livejournal.com/108804.html introduction]] he wrote for ''Lonely City''.
** Now, imagine this: Patrick Stewart tried to prove he was right for the part of Spider by ''getting up in the middle of a restaurant'' and reciting the "monstering" monologue from the issue of the same name. That must have scared the crap out of several patrons.
*** I would pay ''good money'' to see that!

Knowing that the feed they're releasing from his house will quickly be traced, he waits for the StateSec troops to knock on his door. We get this response, ''while'' he's staring down the barrel of a huge gun:

** And the subplot [[ContinuityNod gets a callback]] in the ''From The Mountain To The City'' made-for-TV movie; somehow, the writers found out about Spider's "son" (and that he had no head), and wrote in a tearful reunion during the film's [[HappilyEverAfter mega-happy ending]]!

* On his way back into the city, Spider stops his car by the local bar, reminisces about his time spent there, and then blows it up with a rocket launcher.
-->'''Spider:''' The bar. Five years of pulling a gun before changing the channel and punching the barman in the neck for a clean glass. The only human contact I had for five years. Outside of the odd paramilitary vendetta. What a great bar. (beat) I hate it and everybody in it.

* The conclusion of the "Spider's son" subplot - when Spider returns to the Word, the boy - actually an android sent to assassinate him - suddenly starts speaking in a French accent, and tries to attack him. Instead, Spider grabs him and throws him out the window, where he explodes. Afterwards:
