[The Whovian]

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of the Green Goblin? Please Marvel, if you're going to kill characters off, this is the one to kill. And make it permanent.

[DieHard200904]

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of the Green Goblin? Please Marvel, if you're going to kill characters off, this is the one to kill. And make it permanent.

At least make it last 10 plus years of being dead. Maybe make Harry be the Hobgoblin.

[Miles To Go]

At least make it last 10 plus years of being dead. Maybe make Harry be the Hobgoblin.

Harry being Hobgobin has been done already...in the newspaper strip back in 2015, and way back in Ultimate Spider-Man too

[Lukmendes]

At least make it last 10 plus years of being dead. Maybe make Harry be the Hobgoblin.

Why though? Roderick is still Hobgoblin, unless Harry is working for him, but I think it'd be better for Harry to move on from Goblins.

[Project37]

It is me or the Spider-Gwen solicitation have a feeling of last issue/stealth cancelation?

Gwen has the full support of the Spider office and Robbi has stated that he'll stick around for at least one more arc after Gwenom.

This poor character has been through the wringer, though...hopefully she gets to enjoy some happiness soon.

Looking over the cover for Spider-Gwen #31 I adore the quality and stylish artwork. A great backdrop and details but most of all the color is so warm and eye catching. After some dark theme covers this one shines in warmth and feels like the hero might catch her breath.

But another thing caught my attention. Many time when I look over a Spider-Gwen fanart with her maskless it's mostly 616 Gwen design with her long hair and small details wearing the Earth-65 Gwen's costume. This one also I saw for this cover is the same. looking it over. Long hair, a green jacket (though for Earth-65 Gwen she has her own Green jacket but not the same as 616 long jacket), and purple bottom. She look more akin to 616 version Gwen then her own variety (though her mask/suit can be seen carried by her in a backpack). After reading the solicitation I'm wondering if these details might hold a bigger purpose to this cover design.

• Gwen’s on a one-way road into darkness. If anyone can help her find her way back into the light…
• It’s. GWEN. STACY.
• But is the universe trying to save her, or does fate only hold one end for Gwen?

Now it could be that Earth-65 Gwen Stacy's inner 'spirit' and consciousness is fighting to get back to 'the light'. But it left me wondering if perhaps a twist might happen of expectation and a surprise appearance. That after all her cast trying to reach and save her during this arc that Earth-65 Gwen has a 'outer body experience'.
"is the universe trying to save her" 'The universe' usually representing/being something bigger than mortals. Plus the heightened line: "It’s. GWEN. STACY." This has me wondering... after a 'all hope lost moment' will there be one last push but this time on a 'spiritual level'. Earth-65 Gwen Stacy spiritually meeting a certain particular known Gwen? Probably not but still I'm curious.
