World Spider-Man in July

[Electro UK]

Hmmm, the Hobgoblin design does look a little off.

Are you kidding? A little off? His helmet is purple and shapped like a penis!

 

[Grim Goblin]

HA! You're right!

I don't think this sounds good at all... "OTHER" Spider-men?! You mean people who imitate Peter, or his genes passed on through progeny? Because, I'm not only not buying, I'm radically opposed to the "in every generation one is chosen" concept being connected to Peter... so what's the explaination? And it better NOT involve a blasted spider-god!

Well, there was Spider-Man 2099. The guy was totaly unrelated to Peter and was a genius who was trying to make super-agents for private companies. One of his inspiration was Spider-Man so he intended to use specific spider genes to give a person spider-powers. An accident happened and he was the one to receive them. Again, his powers weren't like Peter's. he had talons on his fingers and toes for wall crawling and was the first Spider-Man to have organic webbing.

Anyway there was a one-shot story where the two Spider-Men meet. Eventualy, they are taken to the year 2211 were they face the Hobgoblin of that time (the alien/power ranger lovechild of the cover). They are helped by the Spider-Man of that time (the guy Iron Spidey his holding). That guy no one knows anything about, since he only appeared for a couple of panels. All that is known is what he looks like and that he has "guided webbing" whatever that is.

And yet it reminds me of the movie Green Goblin.

OMG!!! the long penis helmet, the Power-Ranger suit...it all makes sense!

Ah... the ole genetic experiment gone wrong origin. All righty then... as long as it's not connected to that totem mystic spider-god BS.

But, it still sounds/looks uninteresting. Too "out there." And the earth-shaking reunion... gee... wonder what that's about?

Well it was more sabotaged than gone wrong but still, pretty interesting series (the first few arcs at least) you should look it up.

But I agree,bringing THAT Hobgoblin into the picture is just wrong. Unless he's used to fix the whole mystic-totem-shatra-stingers crap 'cause hey, he's got retcon bombs (I'm not joking, that's what he calls them).

 

[Grim Goblin]

Now that I think of it, yeah, that's it. I officially nominate Hobgoblin 2211 as the savior of Spidey-fans worldwide.


You go Gobby !!! Drop those retcon bombs all over JMS' crappy arcs!!!



= happy times in Spider-Man Land

At the risk of hating myself in the morning......why does he call them retcon bombs?

 

[Grim Goblin]

ok this isn't sarcastic, it's actually 100% what was in the story.

The retcon bombs are the futuristic version of pumpkin bombs. instead of blowing everything to bits, they erase the target from history. therefore the name: retcon bombs

Wait a minute, take a step back. Iron Spider used his webs... that's too Spider-man like for this character... new cover please.

p.s. Wonder when they'll bring Spider-man out of character limbo... haven't seen him since this new guy got some sort of Iron spider suit...

Is Spidey even drawn to scale? Cap looks like he's nearly nine feet tall and 400lbs....ridiculous!

Nice webby shot, tho...but that 'plate' on spidey's back just looks...blech.

Even though the "Iron-Spidey" costume looks like absolute crap...the cival war still is sound like a damn good story. It's a shame though that I'm so paranoid with Marvel at the moment. The story is almost sounding too good. Wouldn't be shocked if Marvel messed it up....heh...I'm actually expecting something crappy to have to Spider-man. Hopefully I'm wrong and he'll be wearing his old red and blue tights at the end again

USM sounds freaking awesome as usual. Can't wait.

Civil War Front Line also sounds pretty damn good.
