Seriously. Julia already had psychic powers in the form of her psi-webs. Just amp those up and she could've been a more active Madame Web capable of doing some of her own legwork. And hell, keep calling her Arachne while you're at it. Really, just forget about the fortune-telling altogether and leave Julia the hell alone.

I always liked Jessica's costume, I think it's stood the test of time pretty well. It does have a spider theme to it with the big white spider-eyes and the design on the chest (usually obscured by her tig ol bitties

Only because she was so irrelevant for 30 years that no one bothered to change it.I always liked Jessica's costume, I think it's stood the test of time pretty well. It does have a spider theme to it with the big white spider-eyes and the design on the chest (usually obscured by her tig ol bitties
Okay, here's a question that was brought to my attention:
In this issue, we're told, by no less than the Jackal himself, that if Peter falls into the vat of Anti-Venom goop, he'll end up losing all his powers. Yet when Kaine--who remember is Peter's clone and therefore an exact DNA match, as proven by the fact he's able to access Horizon Labs via the biometric scanners that are specifically keyed in to identify Peter--falls into the vat of Anti-Venom goop, somehow he was still able to keep his spider-powers despite being cured of both his mutation and clone degeneration. So, how did THAT work? I guess it was...

I am really loving this Spider-Island! I think Dan has done a great job picking up various "threads" (sorry for the pun) of previous continuity. I think this is a much better job of connecting the "spider" charactersthan Grim Hunt. There's Venom & Anti-Venom, to boot! It even weaves the Spider Slayers and the Jackal and his clones into the story naturally as well as JJJ. Great job with the id of scientist #6, especially since he did show up again recently in the comics. Heck, I even love the Queen & the spiders angle, and I didn't care for the original story, since they had done the whole Man-Spider thing to Pete before this a couple of times.
And a agree with everyone about the apparent direction for Kaine. If this is true, and we now have a new Spider-Man (in the guise of the Scarlet Spider or whatever), this is another single Spider-Man. (the original reason for the Clone Saga of the 90's) So now, if Marvel has this single Spider-Man, is it possible for our Pete to be...
(at least get back together with (possible now) the Amazing MJ?)
Dug just about everything, except...
...the apparent death of the Jackal. Hopefully, that was a clone he set-up just in case. Hate to finally have him back, only to kill him off right away.
I think we need some mod management for the spoiler above...
It's arguably the best issue of Spider-Island... in my opinion...
