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 regular 616 continuity, by this point Norman had proven himself an abusive father and sold Harry’s soul to the devil. Damn right he’s not Harry’s family.

Harry talking about him and Peter as if they’re an old married couple.

“I won’t let them take you away from me, Harry. I’ll destroy them first,” says Norman, but of course he ended up destroying Harry too. Still, what’s Harry to him? A possession.

Harry never gets attention for his smarts but he’s not dumb! Also I appreciate how no-one can ever decide what colour his eyes are. I’ve seen them be blue, green, and brown.

Norman looks a little shocked for the first time. It doesn’t last long.

What a satisfying moment! And it’s Gwen who’s there to help Harry, Gwen who drives away with him… and it’s Gwen who will pay the price.

Gwen and Norman’s eyes meet… and she looks so angry.

Poor Gwen. And poor Harry. Both suffered terribly at the hands of Norman and now in the mainline comics Norman is a hero and Peter’s best friend. Ah, there’s no justice in the world.
