Damn.

Funny how once Norman got in power or became "serum" free. He let others use his Goblin tech. I'm surprised Kingsley never did this as well.
Brandon Kelly
Such a killer first appearance.
Noah Long
Best Goblin storytime

It surprises me re-reading this now. Just how well Stern laid so many clues as to the identity of the Hobgoblin in the first issue.
I still can't see Ned Leeds ever as the original. Even re-reading it back then when he was the "official" identity back in the early 90s. It just didn't make sense. No matter how much Christoper Priest tried to spin it.
Oliver Davis
But that's the fun thing about this Saga. Sure the original portion is entertaining. But the behind the scenes stuff going on with this book at the time was even more fun.
Pity there will never been a tell-all book about the shit Stern, DeFalco, Priest, and probably Shooter did to one another.

>Just how well Stern laid so many clues as to the identity of the Hobgoblin in the first issue.
Despite being one of the things people see as a 'clue' in retrospect, Hobgoblin redesigning the Green Goblin costume wasn't 'intended' as a clue pointing to Kingsley.
Stern admitted he didn't decide who it was going to be until he was scripting dialogue for the issue. The costume change was already there as a necessary element of the plot creating a new Goblin to replace the Green Goblin.

Actually I was thinking about the cover with the Spider suit. A Spider-Man suit was involved in the last prior appearance of Kingsley involving some shennigans).
Liam Morris

Jason Perez
The other was well, can you really see Lance or Ned doing any of this in the first issue? They don't fit the type to do away with Georgie. No matter how many red herrings we had throughout this. Which is why it made more sense that this could have been Richard Fisk as DeFalco intended.

Was this a good or bad plot twist?

Depends on who you prefer.

Ouch on what happened to Lefty. Still, the Hobgoblin has "fashionable" taste in jackets there.

Now I'm taking a twenty-five minute break. I'll be back. Here's the cover to the next issue to pass the time.
Robert Hill
>'Lefty' Donovan
Was he named for his politics?
Adrian Butler
But without Normans super strength and healing, how could he hope to stand a chance against Spider-Man?
Wyatt Moore
There never was healing until the mid-90s with the Goblin serum. Super Strength on the other hand well...
