Notes Civil War tie-in story. The Shroud and Arachne appear in this issue but not in costume. Arachne (Julia Carpenter) was the second heroine to call herself Spider-Woman, but since Jessica Drew had returned as the original Spider-Woman, she began calling herself, Arachne. On the cliffhanger splash page, the costume Rogue is wearing this issue is different than the one she is wearing the next issue, even though it is the same scene that is carried over to the next issue.
