YMMV / True Believers

• Harsher in Hindsight: Doctor Octopus kills Peter Parker four years before Marvel kind of actually made it happen themselves.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Marvel wanting nothing to do with Ben Reilly, now that he's returned to life in the comics and stars in his own solo series, Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider.
• Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The first three weeks of the 2008 Character Strike featured stories that relied heavily on either old or crude material, before the Head Executive enlisted Spider-Man to substitute for the usual characters. That enlisting brought forth the emotionally engaging "True Believers".
