*** The plot of that particular story has Venom, Lizard, and Red Skull all try to become Spider-Man's new archenemy so they'll get to be in the sequel and receive the same massive payout as the Goblin. Sure enough, the Lizard would go on to appear in ''Spider-Man 2'' (though as his human form Dr. Curt Connors; the actual Lizard wouldn't appear in a Spider-Man film until ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''), while Venom would appear in the immediate sequel.

*** Red Skull's reasoning for wanting to appear in the ''Spider-Man'' sequel? "Der ''Captain America'' movie sucked and der sugar cookies will come flyink out mein ass before dey make der
sequel." Of course, since this story came out around 2001-ish, the ''Captain America'' movie in question was [[Film/CaptainAmerica1990 the 1990 disaster]] starring Matt Salinger; [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger the Captain America movie that probably came to your mind]] wouldn't be released until roughly a decade after this story's publication, with a ''much'' more stellar reception than the previous film (and featuring the Red Skull, who, yes, did technically appear in [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier its sequel]] via archival footage).

** "Project Greenlight" saw the Green Goblin being featured on ''MTV Cribs'' spotlighting his massive fame and fortune following his appearance in the then-upcoming first ''[[Film/SpiderMan1 Spider-Man]]'' film. At one point, an interviewer asks him about the rumor he'll appear in the sequel, with him responding the filmmakers hadn't signed a villain yet. Sure enough, though he wouldn't be the main villain, the Goblin actually would make a cameo appearance in [[Film/SpiderMan2 the sequel]] ([[Film/SpiderMan3 both of them, actually]]).

No longer a trope and likely misuse


* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In "I Am Legend: Part 2", the end of the strip has Mego Spidey mock the idea of Toyfare lasting another eighty-four issues. Turns out he was right, give or take an issue.

* HilariousInHindsight: There was a strip about the Manly Men of Action, the greatest action heroes of the 80s and 90s (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Dolph Lundgren) several months before it was announced that those four exact people would be making a movie together, ''Film/TheExpendables''. A later strip starring the Manly Men of Action lampshades this, with the writers insisting the movie was their idea in the first place.

One other strip had a flashback of Captain America finding Bucky's body dangling from a noose while INXS' "New Sensation" played in the background.
