It's really funny how widespread "Ned is the Hobgoblin" is to the point of people trying to predict the character in movies, but the fact he was a framed patsy was not... Roddy deserves his due!
We tripped at the finish line with the Spectacular Animated Series... But at least we got Jason in the 94' series.
I started reading comics short before the Hobgoblin arrived and at the same time collected older stuff from the Ditko and Romita era. So I had both at the same time and could compare directly.
I was shit scared of the Green Goblin though I knew he wouldn't kill Spidey, I always had the feeling Spidey was in immediate danger when facing him off.
But Hobie was always my favorite. The battles between him and Spidey are legendary cool. And my favorite Spidey artist too.
What do you think of the chances something like this happening:
In the upcoming arc in ASM it is revealed that the the Hobgoblin this time is Ned Leeds (or whoever he is) and he is working with the Queen Goblin and they are planning to take down both Kingsley and Norman by playing them against each over by making it look Kingsley is going after Norman and Oscorp.
It could also be revealed that the A.I Norman/Harry is in on it as well and may result in Kingsley's death.
What does anyone one else think about this ?
PLEASE REPLY.

The Epic Collections have tended to collect material that was either a long way off from getting a Marvel Masterworks volume, or had already been Masterworked but was out of print.
The Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Masterworks are quickly approaching the material that would be in Epic Collection vol 16, so I imagine that the Masterworks will get the first stab at those issues (with the high quality restoration job expected from the Masterworks line) and the Epic Collection will come later.
Who thinks that Paul will be the Hobgobion and why ?
PLEASE REPLY.
Well, I can't say, honestly. But I heard that, from a Comic Con some time ago (maybe San Diego's) there was revealed a page where the HobGoblin was hugging Mary Jane. I don't know if that's true, as nobody has leaked it; but in case is true, then it could be an obvious hint of this.
The page in question isn't a leak, it was what John Romita Jr. was penciling on his drawing board on a social media video. Splash page was enhanced somewhere and you can clearly make out Hobgoblin holding spoilers:end of spoilers
an infant and likely Betty in the foreground standing shocked.

If the baby is Bettys', surely it would have been better for her to have already had her child by the time the six months elapsed, as she was very, very visibly pregnant in Spencer's run. Issue 900 should have been set before whatever Peter did
