1* InferredHolocaust: When people start turning into spider monsters and going berserk, it's constantly brought up by the characters that these are still innocent people and that they should be treated with non-lethal force. Spider-Girl, in particular, encounters The Hand, The Hobgoblin and a whole slew of anti-Spider cultists killing scores of people-turned-monsters indiscriminately, and throughout the entire arc it's implied several times that a lot of innocents were killed while under the control of the Queen.
2* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap:
3** Used for the first time since ComicBook/TheCloneSaga, readers have apparently forgiven the Jackal enough for that fiasco to let him be a respectable villain again.
4** Kaine is this, due to his actions here. He uses his new Spidey suit to cancel out the Queen's sonic scream, and his new stingers to do what Peter Parker never would, and end the Queen's life when Peter manages to weaken her, while declaring to all wondering who he is that "I am Kaine!" And before Madame Web can claim that clearly he was the Spider-Man she foretold would save the world from this threat, Kaine states to everyone that he only could do it wearing a suit Spidey made, using a move Spidey perfected, at a moment that Spider-Man created for him. As far as Kaine and everyone else is concerned, the one responsible for the Queen's defeat is the one and only Amazing Spider-Man. The Scrappy removal was prominent enough that he managed to get a new ComicBook/ScarletSpider series.
