The battle between Spider-Man and Hobgoblin takes on an odd tone of finality, possibly because they both say it’s going to be their final battle. And then the Hobgoblin flies off to a warehouse and leads Spidey into the basement, almost like it’s a trap…. #marvel #spiderman
Mary Jane is getting more and more upset that Peter is continuing on as Spider-Man, but he is determined to stop the Hobgoblin at any cost! But honestly, her reactions are becoming pretty melodramatic. I hope they resolve this tension soon! #marvel #spiderman
[Amazing Spider-Man #276, May 1986] The Hobgoblin is finally unmasked, but who can it be?? My money is still on Ned Leeds! [#cmro M6303]
The Hobgoblin throws Sha Shan to her death, and Spider-Man has a flashback to his failure to save Gwen Stacy. But he’s had years to think about what happened, and he’s determined not to make the same mistake again, and he saves her at the very last moment! #marvel #spiderman
We get a really strange (and oddly specific) speech from Hobgoblin about how he has trouble threatening a woman who he is attracted to. And then Spider-Man jumps in with “Anyone ever tell you that your manners are from hunger?”, which makes no sense at all! #marvel #spiderman
The Hobgoblin takes Sha Shan as a hostage seemingly at random. Is it Flash Thompson taking revenge on his own wife? Or is it Ned Leeds kidnapping Flash’s wife to get back at him?? #marvel #spiderman
I’m not sure why Peter is giving up being Spider-Man—the Beyonder basically told him that he’s the person on Earth most in tune with his life’s purpose! Anyway, Mary Jane finally asks how he got his powers, and we get an 11-page flashback to his origin! #marvel #spiderman
The soap opera continues with Flash and Sha Shan, where he accuses her of dating Peter Parker (she’s not) and she accuses him of seeing Betty Leeds (he is?). And of course he slaps her, because it’s kind of a cheap way to escalate the drama between a couple. #marvel #spiderman
[Amazing Spider-Man #275, Apr. 1986] The Hobgoblin has finally returned! Will his identity be revealed at last?? [#cmro M6302]
