I don't remember Hyde having fangs.

 

[Michael Frost]

I think he's talking about the lower left corner guy.

Who's the gray helmet guy next to him, with the red eyes?

 

[Chris Wallace]

Stilt-Man, I think.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Does anyone remember what happened to the Scriers/Order of the Goblin? It occurred to me that Norman doesnt need to have these Goblin-tattooed inmates and ex-cons working for him, when he already has an extensive intelligence group working for him.

Who drew that?

It's definatly different but it has an organic feel to it's outline that makes it awesome. It feels as it was drawn with just one try (most of it probably was) in a quick sketchbook.

I love it myself.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Haven't quite figured out what I want to do color-wise.

 

[Hobgoblin]

The profile shot looks based on the movie costume, but more intimidating. Good work.

Which is EXACTLY what I was going for.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesome drawing, Chris!

 

[Spider-Man '92]

Very cool design there! I love the garb.

 

[Spidey_62]

Nice redesign, I like it!

I'd love to see a return of the Order of the Goblin! That being said, I really like the idea of this 'everyday joe' subculture sprouting up. Keep the Order AND the ruffians I say!

I like that such hardcore Goblin fans like my design. I tired to be as faithful as I could while putting a new twist on it. I borrowed elements from the movies-the mask, the big lenses, you may notice the gauntlets even have those retractable blades like Harry had. The compartments on the glider are supposed to launch pumpkin bombs into his hands. I ditched the traditional bag for the pouches on his back. The way I see it, he'd mainly want his weapons handy when in flight. You're not gonna toss grenades without making sure you can get clear, right? I moved the razor bats to his front shoulder strap, figuring those could be used in close quarters as well as long range. The horns, shoulder spikes & claws were my son's idea. The glider was based partly on Spectacular with some classic sensibilities thrown in.

Sounds like you've taken the best of all worlds to me, Chris. Very nice job. Now if only we could make it reality.

Am I really this slow, or has anyone else noticed that the Urich Hobgoblin design looks an awful lot like the Hobgoblin 2099 video game design?

I really like the fan art by the way. If they get someone that can draw Hobby like that, that design will grow on me.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I'd never thought about it.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Neither had I. I only noticed after scanning google for images.

Phil Urich as Hobgoblin is such a fun/joy to read. I dont know why, but reading the character makes him instantly feel like a dangerous threat to Spidey.

I also love the idea of Norman Osborn being this martyr almost. Like how Hitler is viewed by the Neo Nazis and having these Goblin gangs out there.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Merry Christmas, Goblin Gang.

 

[Spider-Man '92]

I'm not one for the wings really, but it's a nice change in style, and offers some new ways to choreograph some good action.

 

[Vile]

I love Ramos' Goblin!

 

[Hobgoblin]

I wasnt a huge fan or Ramos's Goblin but I do like what he did there.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Ditto.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Happy New Year, everyone!

 

[socool]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Woah...that art style is really fun. Love it!

I was always a fan of Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin, to me he was one of the top five Spider-Man foes after Scorpion and Doc Ock (as a favorite)

His time as the chief of security, and his guise as the Iron Patriot made him my favorite Marvel villain as a whole, even more favored than Dr. Doom. I enjoyed the way Peter Parker exposed his experiments and embarrassed him in Dark Reign: The List more than the way he was defeated in Siege
