There are many changes in the strip's presentation, both to pacing and to how Spidey interacts with the rest of the [[Marvel Universe]]. He's met [[Daredevil]] relatively recently, for one thing. There was also a switch to Peter Parker's domestic situation to match with the "Brand New Day" storyline... and readers' letters made the writers agree to drop that.

{{tropelist|Tropes used in the comic strip version of ''Spider-Man'' include:}}
* [[As You Know]]: Due to the casual nature of a newspaper strip, this is used frequently for readers who might not have read the previous day's strip. Especially when some newspapers don't have [[Sunday Strip|Sunday strips]].
* [[All Just a Dream]]: The switch to an unmarried Peter in early 2009 was done with no explanation, thus passing it off as a dream had some merit in this case. And the strip where he wakes up almost comes across as a [[Take That]] (the title for the story was "Will The REAL Peter Parker Please Stand Up?").
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[The Punisher]], obviously, in his guest appearances.

** Mary Jane has worn a few fur-trimmed jackets.
** In the arc where a guy pretends to be Spider-Man for the fame and fortune, his wife buys a fur coat among other things. When he's complaining about some lawsuits based on what Spider-Man did (or people imagined he did), his wife is just trying on the fur in front of a mirror and telling him of the jewelry she bought.

** Then again, Spider-Man having brain damage might explain a lot of [[Idiot Ball|the]] [[Plot Induced Stupidity|odd]] [[What an Idiot!|behavior]] he exhibits from time to time.
* [[Spider Sense]]: It seems to work only to let Spider-Man know where trouble is or to help him find pieces of paper with important information. If someone comes up from behind to whack him over the head with a blunt weapon, or a brick falls off of a wall, he's helpless to avoid being knocked out.
