The official Spider-Man twitter unexpectedly dropped a new (lady) Goblin yesterday: The whole twitter announcement thread is here, but it doesn’t give many clues to her identity: (Also, it’s interesting that Harry isn’t included in that list.) So I’m wondering – who is she? My top picks: Liz Allan. Honestly, the comics have been dying… Read More Queen Goblin
Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #2 follows on from Amazing Spider-Man #66, but how we got to this point is a little confusing! Last time we saw Norman, Harry was searching the city for him while he lurked in one of his supervillain lairs. Norman’s memory of being the Green Goblin had clearly returned, but here it… Read More Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine #2 (1968)
I continue to be thrilled (and very jealous) about this. It looks wonderful. And hey, right away it passed the litmus test for Spider-Man adaptions, “will it get Harry right.” Do hop on over to YouTube or Instagram and give some support in the form of likes! There should be more fan films in the… Read More Spider-Man: Lotus full trailer
Where we left off, Norman was slowly regaining his memories of being the Green Goblin! And that forms the basis of this new little arc for Harry. Of course, it’ll evolve into something much bigger later on… Harry pops up briefly in #62. While Spider-Man fights Medusa and angsts about his breakup with Gwen, Norman’s… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #62-66 (1968)
The distant sounds of ASM #74 are still ringing in my ears, so how about we take a look at the first time Harry came back from the dead? Yep, the first time. This almost completely unknown story showed up at the turn of the millennium in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2000. It was a strange… Read More Amazing Spider-Man Annual 2000
So – spoilers ahead- Let’s get the big thing out of the way first. Post-BND Harry was a clone, as far as we know, and now he’s dead. (See below.) The who, wheres and whys of that, Spencer has not divulged. Post-BND Harry says he’s a clone but we see no real evidence of that… Read More Amazing Spider-Man #74: A reprehensible mess
With tomorrow’s ASM likely tackling the now infamous Harry-Peter-robot parents affair, let’s take a trip back to the mid-90s to explore the first time its aftermath was tackled in-depth! This is a very obscure Harry story, not least because he doesn’t technically appear in it, and also one of the very few co-written by a… Read More Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #14: Cycles and Circles (1994)
ASM #74, the conclusion to the Kindred Saga as they’re calling it, is due out shortly. The preview dropped the other day and it’s very Harry-heavy, so let’s unpick it! If nothing else this will help get the taste of the utterly nonsensical ASM #73 out of my mouth. We begin with a flashback to… Read More ASM #74 Preview: The devil’s in the details
…. ……… …………Ah sorry, you were expecting there to be an article here? There is not. There’s no point trying to unpick ASM #73 because it makes no sense, even by the usual standards of comics. It literally reads like someone hastily threw the art together without the script being finalized or anything to hand… Read More Unpicking Amazing Spider-Man #73
Not art this time… or is it? This was posted by neverwasastoryofmorewhoa, and it’s a comic connection I’ve never seen made before. A beautiful juxtaposition. I love it so much.
