New Goblin to be born in ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #51 and #52

[Celgress]

It's a gimmick on a gimmick like a hat on a hat.



Edit - I'm so happy I gave up on this run.

[Hypestyle]

so is this a mask that comes from Janine? All Peter has to do is take the mask off, and... well?

[Huntsman Spider]

That must be what's going on in there, I'm certain.

Aaaand it's Peter. Again.

Somebody had to look at that design, approve it, and be ok that it would end up appearing not just on any comic book, but one of the most successful and popular books Marvel or any comic book company has ever had. This whole thing had to be broken in a meeting where people saw this and were fine with this being released. This is the bottom. Over sixty years, the Spider-Man franchise has had its share of bad writers and stories. That is understandable, it happens to all long running properties. But this is just not caring. This is just trying to make people mad. The only way I can see this story having any shred of impact is if Spidey actually kills one of the bad guys stuck in that web, but we know that won't happen. It occurs to me that Zeb Wells Spider-Man run is a lot like the website Bleeding Cool. It's just clickbait now with four or five bullet points to fill up a comic. There is not any substance just little story points that keep the book lurching forward in a snarky narrative that makes it very clear that the creators working on it actually don't care about the fans they are supposed to sell this to. I am not talking about the spider-marriage, or Paul or any of the decisions that have been made in the last 15 years or so. It has become clear that Wells has any interest in making a connection to any of the things that make Spider-Man great at all. This is just empty like if A.I. wrote a Spider-Man story.

This feels like a case to me of the last time they did Goblin Peter it sold well and people said he should have went further. So now they're going in for another taste.

Because I guess Zeb Wells, Nick Lowe, and the rest of Marvel's Spider-Man office didn't make it clear they were ripping off the Batman Who Laughs with the Spider Who Gobbles the last time around.

[Jwyatt]

The cover to #52 is an homage to Amazing Spider-Man #300. The "new" Goblin is probably going to be Peter again. The outline of the glider even looks like Peter's glider.

Good job! First in the thread to call it

[CaptainUniverse]

Good job! First in the thread to call it

Oh yeah, I guess I did call it. It was just kind of obvious given what #52's cover was clearly referencing.

[Morgoth]

It's literally Spider-Man Who Laughs, lol.
Didn't we already have this?

[Xix25]

This has to be a sneaky tactic to buff up USM sales right? There's no way people willingly put in creative effort to make this, right? Right?

[Marvel Wars]

This Spider-Goblin looks ridicule...

[Batman Begins 2005]

Aaaand it's Peter. Again.

I hate this run. It's the worst comic book run I've ever read. Need a new creative team and a new editor ASAP.

[marhawkman]

It's literally Spider-Man Who Laughs, lol.
Didn't we already have this?

Yeah the MC2 version was better though.

[Digifiend]

Aaaand it's Peter. Again.

Jackpot and Black Cat to snap him out of it then? It'd make sense for Miles, Gwen, and Bailey to be involved, but I bet they won't be.

[mugen]

what hell everything in this run is mediocre, everything is clikbait and ragebait just to annoy the fans there is no desire to write anything good no writing effort in this run the worst ever... is will peter kill paul this time? That would barely save things.
