I'm not sure if I've posted this before but I got this awesome SMTAS sericel last year with the Hobgoblin on it numbered 120/1000. Really happy to have this one.

I dont care what anyone says about TAS; Hobgoblin and Green Goblin were both so well done. :woot: The voices, the animation, the writing. Excellent.

Awesome! How much was it? I've actually been looking for one.

I think my only problem with the Goblin storyline is when they incorporated the Spot's tech into it. I can even forgive Hobby coming first because it was so well done overall.
 
I agree, Hobgoblin. I'm not sure at all why John Semper hates the 2 part Hobgoblin episodes with a passion, they are some of my favorites. Partly for nostalgic reasons since they were the first episodes I ever saw on an old VHS tape.

Just about $120. The frame was damaged so I got it reframed, though.
 
2 pages I scanned from one of my favorite Spider-Man/Green Goblin stories; A Death in The Family. I love the splash page.

Is A Death In The Family available in trade paperback?

One thing I'll say for Humberto Ramos, he knows how to draw a moody scene.

My gripe with that story was that nothing really changed. (I guess I should get used to that. Every other story is billed as a game changer.) Except maybe for Flash.

For me, Humberto Ramos's art just looks bad. Everyone looks like an ape, especially when Ramos tries to draw human faces.

Yeah, I remember it came out around when SM1 came out but I was still hoping for a better story. It was definitely just a "cash in on the movie" type thing.

True. I also see it as the Spider-Man/Green Goblin equivalent of Batman: The Killing Joke, in terms of thematic elements and so forth.

Happens all the time. Ever read "God Loves, Man Kills II"? The gratuitous Blade guest shots in Gambit & the Spidey books? Or the Batman "tie-ins" that came out along with those movies? Ugh. Well, actually the Two_Face one-shot wasn't bad.

Indeed. Speaking of the movie, it's a shame that Willem Defoe's expressions were completely obscured by the mask in Spider-Man.
 
^ I'm sure you can. Though, I haven't seen the book on shelves in al ong time.
 
Anyone else want to see Norman Osborn and Roderick Kingsley duke it out as Green Goblin and Hobgoblin?
 
^^ I always have. While I enjoyed HArry Osborn and Jason Macendale going at it in thier costumes, nothing would beat Norman going up against Roderick.

Agreed. It's a shame they didn't get to actually fight in either Hobgoblin Lives or Goblins At The Gate.
Harry Osborn wasn't as menacing as Norman is, but he made up for it with an even more direct personal connection to Peter Parker. Jason Macendale, on the other hand, just paled in comparison to the original Hobgoblin.

Agreed. I think Hobgoblin's is one of SPidey's best Villains. He's smart and quick, which in some cases, is all you need.

Roger Stern's Hobgoblin story still remains one of my favorites.

Agreed. He's really underused in my opinion.
