I was really hoping Harry wouldn’t be forgotten in the 1000th issue of Amazing Spider-Man and it looks like he hasn’t been! J.M. DeMatteis, the man responsible for a lot of Harry’s character development in the 90s, is writing a story titled Requiem For a Goblin and Humbert Ramos is illustrating. Plot details are being… Read More J.M. Dematteis is back writing Harry!
Sorry things have been quiet around here lately. I lost ANOTHER job because I am FUCKING UNEMPLOYABLE. Anyway, I am still seeking out the best Harry Osborn fanart pieces and here is an absolute banger: It’s by HaruChi1, who has lots of other great art on their tumblr. I feel like this picture perfectly captures… Read More Harry Highlights #16
God I was so slow catching up to these, sorry. I think Spidey fandom kind of felt the novelty wore off, because I just didn’t see people talking about them for ages. There is plenty to appreciate in USM though, there really is! In issue #22, Harry was faced with his “dead” wife Gwen, but… Read More Harry Osborn in Ultimate Spider-Man #23-24
….not in real life, of course. In The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity #1, Norman seems to be up to his old tricks, but no, he’s teaching Miles, Ghost-Spider and all the other Spiders how to fight effectively against a Goblin. Jessica Drew nearly kicks his ass, as she should, but then Norman reveals that he’s still… Read More Harry gets his own statue
So as you no doubt know by now if you’ve read this comic, the ‘torn’ of the title refers in part to Peter being torn between Gwen and MJ, and MJ herself takes steps to remedy this. This comic is a FANTASTIC read for PeterMJ shippers (who have suffered much in the last few years)… Read More Harry Osborn in Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #5
Before we get to the Harry stuff there’s a Jameson panel I must share: As an ex-journalist it spoke to me. But it’s Harry we’re all here for. In Torn #3, he and Norman have a showdown and it’s glorious. This comic plays very fast and loose with continuity, but if we are sticking to… Read More Harry Osborn in Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #4
The man who drew some of the greatest ever Harry Osborn stories (and some of the greatest stories in general) has died at the age of 89. He left one hell of a legacy. I loved the way he drew Harry, and Peter, and especially Mary Jane. In my mind Buscema’s drawings are the default… Read More Sal Buscema passed away
Spider-Man: Torn is a comic set during Peter Parker’s college years, so Harry is there! Here he is in part one. He’s not involved in the action, though, which sees Peter go up against a mysterious woman named Evangeline who’s just transformed into a monster thanks to a magic book, and also has murdered two… Read More Harry Osborn in Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #2-3
Yesterday, December 13, was Harry’s birthday! Alas, I was doing Important Social Christmas Things all day and forgot to throw an update this blog’s way. But I DID post a birthday gifset for Harry on tumblr. This one is comparing him to the main character of one of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, Hamlet. I had… Read More Happy belated birthday, Harry
Now where were we? Gwen is targeting the other members of the Sinister Six, and in a pretty extreme way at that. An increasingly frazzled MJ doesn’t like this at all and gave Gwen a punch in the face for her efforts. “I just don’t know how proactive I should be in trying to smooth… Read More Harry Osborn in Ultimate Spider-Man #21-22
