He didn't even suspect it until after his first encounter with Spidey, which made him realize that toys, no matter how powerful, weren't nearly enough to make him his match. Luckily for him, he was more careful with it, to avoid Osborn's insanity. Kingsley... Duh and touche. Mea Culpa... mea Culpa... Leeds wasn't even really one of the Hobgoblins from what my poor memory recollects. Correct me if I'm wrong. My main point was that super serum would and should be used more than once. Did they all have to be Goblins? ...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the hobgoblin bio gives you seizures it is so complicated. GG is all Osborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludriver Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 For me it is #238. I bought this when it first came out at my local comic book store and loved it. I don't have that copy anymore but I have replaced it. The lips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 #238 is more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonahjameson11 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Once Roger Stern took over writing chores on ASM, the title kept improving. I felt he had a good understanding of Peter, the supporting cast, and what makes Spiderman tick. I enjoyed his stories with the Black Cat, Juggernaut, Jekyll & Hyde, Tarantula (what a horrible, gruesome transformation & death) and of course, ASM 238 featuring the Intro of the Hobgoblin. It was a big deal. Readers couldn't get enough of the character and Roger did an incredible job by teasing us with a cameo appearance here and there, using decoys in a Hobby costume, etc. all to keep us guessing Hobby's true identity. The excitement around the character and anticipation of the revel grew with each appearance, and Hobby was a significant character in the Spidey mythos for several years. By comparison, when ASM 252 was released, it was a WTF moment, as in 'they changed his $%^$ costume? WTF?'. It was only later revealed the main reason for doing so was to generate another Spidey toy. Besides, it was just a 'costume', until ASM 258, when Reed Richards revealed that it was a symbiote. So, my choice is ASM 238, by a mile.

It produced its own webs. It wasn’t just a new pair of spandex.... Edited April 26, 2021 by THE_BEYONDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogi_bear13 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 ASM 238 by far. It jumped out at me the moment I saw it. 252 is an ok book but been there done that with AF 15. The lips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
