How Much Did You Hear?
 Spider-Man: Blue (Comic Book) / int_14372e46
comment
How Much Did You Hear?: In the final issue, it turns out Mary Jane has overheard Peter making the recording. Instead of being angry, however, she's very understanding, implicitly reminding her husband that he wasn't the only one who felt the pain of Gwen's death.

Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: Played with. Flash deeply admires Spider-Man, but considers Peter Parker a loser. However, after being saved by his hero, the bully reflects on his past actions and noticeably starts treating Peter better, before deciding to join the army to complete his transformation into a truly honorable person.

Mythology Gag
 Spider-Man: Blue (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: In the first issue Spidey notes to GG that his webbing "catches thieves, just like flies!" He does it again in issue #3, this time with the preceding line, "spin(s) a web any size". When the two Vultures are fighting, Spidey has to save Flash Thompson. The way the two end up against the panorama is identical to the first Amazing Fantasy cover. Flash tells the girls and Peter about his amazing experience being saved by Spider-Man, only for Gwen to call it an "Amazing Fantasy".

Character Development

comment
Character Development: Spidey saving Flash is what motivates him to join the army and treat Peter a bit more kindly. MJ is introduced as a flirtatious, daring, and impulsive young woman. Following Gwen's death, Peter notices that MJ became a lot more sensible and down to earth, leading him to hypothesize that the event made her realize that life isn't made solely of joyous moments.

Much to his surprise, instead of getting pissed with her husband as he suspects her to, Mary Jane instead asks him to say hi to Gwen for her, understanding that Gwen will always be a part of Peter's life, and a reminder that she loved and lost Gwen too.

Science Hero: Aside from Green Goblin, Spidey has to use his smarts to take down his foes, because overall they outclass him. He defeats Rhino by exposing him to a chemical that degrades the villain's suit; freezes the cold-blooded Lizard with liquid nitrogen; and tampers with Vulture's wings to cause him to crash.

I Shall Taunt You
 Spider-Man: Blue (Comic Book) / int_bbb6c059
comment
I Shall Taunt You: Spider-Man teases and belittles all his opponents while fighting them. This provides him with an advantage since the annoyed villains often get too distracted to realize that the hero is luring them into a trap. However, Peter's inner monologues also imply that his taunts are a coping mechanism to conceal his own turmoil, mostly relating to his frustration at being unable to spend time with Gwen and MJ due to his responsibilities as Spider-Man.

Continuity Snarl
 Spider-Man: Blue (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b
comment
Continuity Snarl: The mini-series has several continuity errors that can be picked up on by avid readers. These include; Robbie Robertson working at the Daily Bugle, despite not being introduced at that point in the original comics. The circumstances of the Green Goblin losing his memory are different. In this comic, Peter comes from a fight with the Rhino to meet Mary Jane Watson and take her to a fight with the Lizard. In the original comic, it was the Rhino he took MJ to meet. The fight with Blackie Drago, the second Vulture, is completely different from its original incarnation, taking place at the wrong time and under the wrong circumstances. Drago's fight with the original Vulture was supposed to be over before Spider-Man got there. The original story featured a subplot with Peter spraining his arm, passing out from the pain, and getting captured by the police, which is entirely cut. It was originally Kraven's intention to attack Harry Osborn; he was not confused in his search for Spider-Man by Harry wearing Peter's aftershave.
