YMMV: Spider Island
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Used for the first time since the Clone Saga, readers have apparently forgiven the Jackal enough for that fiasco to let him be a respectable villain again.
  • Take That, Scrappy!: infamous Spider-Man Replacement Scrappy, Creator's Pet, Satellite Love Interest, and all around Relationship Sue Carlie Cooper gets this. While at first it seems like more of the same— Carlie gets to sleep with Peter Parker, she gets Spider-Powers while Mary Jane doesn't, and gets to be a "super awesome" fighter to complete the Character Shilling— she then gets her butt handed to her in a fight, turns into a giant spider with the rest of the hapless citizens of New York, and the day ends up saved largely by MJ who gets Spider-Powers without turning into a giant spider. The comic ends with a Peter and MJ Ship Tease of the highest order. On top of that, Peter forgets about Carlie's predicament, leaving her naked and embarrassed in the middle of New York. And then already rejoicing fandom cheered louder when they broke up right after this.
