* LampshadeHanging: In the ''Black Cat & Mary Jane'' special, Felicia comments on how her ubiquitous DominoMask works even though it hides only a very small portion of her face.

** About 12 seconds after this arc revealed it would be introducing a character called "Queen Goblin," fans started snarking about the fact that Marvel already had a female villain called "the Goblin Queen" (the long-suffering Madelyne Pryor of ComicBook/XMen fame). Wait a few issues; Peter Parker '''immediately''' quips about this when he enters combat with Queen Goblin.

The story ends with Ben suffering a DeathOfPersonality, completely losing his memories and even losing his sense of identity ''as'' Spider-Man. He takes on the mantle 'Chasm' to represent his new self. Lowe's outro even acknowledges that Ben "doesn't have a place in the Spider-Landscape."]]
