Yesterday Pete nearly pulled one over on Peter, the Savage Lands almost slept with the fishes, and maybe that Hawkeye guy isn't a villain after allToday the Hobgoblin is coming back. Again!>previous threadshttps://pastebin.com/6EFJELC5
>>151067681>Hobgoblin is coming back. Again!Please no.
>>151067681Oh Shoc, you certainly were a character that existed
So Christmas is ruinedAnd I'm getting crazy connection errors and upload latency
This seems about right for the Parkers
>>151068007purple ironman?
I had to look it up quickWe don't know Shoc
>>151068057a villain with the power of yaoi hands
Okay so we're at that part where we're fully adjusting status quoNot just tweaking the character's situation but throwing in some new characters too
>>151068177I always appreciate pages like this. Pretty sure we got one of these during that retrospective issue during the Clone Saga too
Picked her right out of the crowd too
Actually smart play from Macendale
>>151068360Just thwip that door closed fool
>>151068496>>151068503>DUN-DUN-DUNNNN!!
Wow I wish 4chan would just be cool and upload the dang pictures
>>151068531Yeah, posting seems to have suddenly gone sideways. Captchas, posting, all slower than molasses.
Oh dang
>>151068561he'll be fine probably...
So what's the behind the scenes on this one?Stern still salty years after the Hobgoblin ordeal and digs it back after everyone was already over it?
>>151068632I think after the repeated failed attempts to give Macendale a hook they just brought Stern in to redo the whole thing. Not sure if there was salt involved but I'm pretty sure it was Glenn's idea
They do a good job reading with their eyes closed
>>151068936>>151068945How many times has that refinery been blown up now?
>>151069074Spidey really likes that song.
4chanplease
I hope this isn't another hack
>>151069129>Spidey and Hobby battling next to a giant crying disembodied Betty headI think there's an old arcade game with visuals like that.
>>15106922620 minutes? Damn, Peter's like two Guybrushes rolled into one!
>>151069457He's got the proportional lung capacity of a spider after all
Heh
And they lived happily ever after and no fucky with the Hobgoblin ever happened again because their confirmed all dead or were never a Hob in the first placeMan, that took like an hour longer than it should have. Get your shit together, 4chan.
>>151069542Thanks Magister. Boy am I glad that this Ned Leeds nonsense is wrapped up and never got dredged up again
>>151069458WHATTA TWEEST!Nice touch with the last panel.
>>151069542Thanks for storytiming and sticking it out through this posting nonsense, Magister!

>>151069542Thanks again
Kinda boring.
>>151067681>and then S.H.O.C. was never seen again, despite his powers being magic/mystical "darkforce" which darkhawk also uses, probably meaning both of which could have been in a midnight sons run
>>151068629At this point probably the highest-profile Spider-Man villain who's still dead. Even Spidercide has come back by now.>>151068632>>151068668Greenberg explained most of the behind the scenes story for the Life of Reilly blog. Stern had come back to Marvel after years at DC, and had worked on some Spider-Man stories. Macendale was a villain Marvel writers were using literally every year, so was by no means a "failed character", but Greenberg was one of the older fans that were still salty about how the Hobgoblin mystery played out in the 80s, and still salty about the character becoming a B-tier merc villain instead of an A-tier mastermind, so he asked Stern if he wanted to write a mini to bring back the first Hobgoblin and reveal who he'd wanted it to be. Stern originally pitched a mini that would've left Macendale alive, or even left him as the only Hobgoblin when it was all over, it was Greenberg that insisted on killing him.>>151072712IIRC SHOC had at least one more random appearance later in that run.
>>151073680>IIRC SHOC had at least one more random appearance later in that run.I think he shows up during the lead in to Identity Crisis. Something about the Darkforce or whatever
>>151073693I can't remember the issue, just that Peter was falling out of the sky and SHOC just randomly appears and catches him. It might be that issue just before Identity Crisis where Peter goes to the Negative Zone?
>>151067821That's a nice view.
>>151072712>Then he gets killed in a Wolverine book because Millar wanted Wolverine to kill some z-listers
>>151068561>ruled as a suicide by hanging
>>151068602Everyone having bad dreams this story.
>>151068844Matt Murdock taught them well.
Not 1000% sure storytime is happening tonightWhat with all the ghouls about
>>151072132How darw you
