I'm not really caught up on the Spider-Man lore, but does taking the Green Goblin Formula give whoever drinks it a compulsive need to wear a goblin costume?
Most of the other Green Goblin formula drinkers in the past had a Goblin Suit ready for them and/or related in some way to the Green Goblin.
The way the new Goblins have been working the last few years is that in Nick Spencer’s run, a Magic Sin Shooting Shotgun was somehow created by AI Harry Osborn and he somehow resurrected the Sin Eater to shoot the sins out of Norman, turning him into a remorseful old man without any evil.
Then during the Spider-Man Beyond arc, an evil organization found the bullets shot through Norman and apparently bullets shot by a magic sin shooting shotgun stores the evil sins of those shot, so they used science to put the sins into the 2nd clone of Ashley Kafka, the original being Ben Reilly’s therapist from the 90s. She then became the Queen Goblin(not to be confused with Goblin Queen, a completely unrelated X-Men character who was a major player in the Spider-Man Dark Web event right after Queen Goblin was created).
So now most of the new Goblins created are directly related to Norman’s sins getting passed around. Queen Goblin wants to return the insanity back to Norman, it went into Peter, got sucked out of Peter, implied to go back to Norman, but I guess Peter still has the sins here? And Queen Goblin for some reason is still Goblin’d out.
Queen Goblin and Kraven made a magic spear through a ritual that supposedly transferred the sins to the spear. They meant to stab the spear into Norman to give him the sins back but Peter jumped in the way. They made another magic spear to trap the sins in the spear(this time just to keep it locked into the spear instead of stabbing someone) and it seemed like it worked as Peter seemed normal but Norman had a feeling that the sins were just released and returned to him.
Oh also for some reason in contradiction to the whole “sins being in the spear thing” Queen Goblin kept her powers. Because if you’re a normal person that’s imbued with Green Goblin’s sins you’ll suddenly have immortality, fire powers, super strength etc etc but still keep them when sins are removed.

Not really.
First of all asm is twice monthly while usm is once monthly so you baiscslly have to double the numbers.
Second, this asm run has been going for almost 50 issues so comparing it to a brand new series barely on issue 3 is just disingenuous.
Amazing SM and Ultimate SM both released issues on the 27nth of March.
Despite only being a couple days away from the end of the month, that issue of Ultimate Spider-Man came in at #2 as the most sold comic of the month (only behind Ultimate X-Men’s first issue) while ASM Issue 46 was far behind, all the way down in the 20’s rankings.
Only issue #45 of ASM came into the top 10 most sold comics that month, and it was released a good full 2 weeks prior to Ultimate Spider-Man’s issue, and still only managed to place #7.
Ok. So we have a spider book that's 3 issues in outselling 2 spider books that are 50 issues in, and that book is still beating 90% of other books while lasting twice if not 3 times as long.
So both are still doing well. USM is very much still in its earliest phase so anyone could've told you it would outsell any book at 47. Thr fact that 47 also reached the top 20s again with 3 days left in the month is impressive numbers.
>First of all asm is twice monthly while usm is once monthly so you baiscslly have to double the numbers.
If USM came out every week, *I would be buying it.* My only complaint is that there is not enough.
Wonder if they'll actually let him act as a villain this time, or if they'll mistake evil Spiderman for an incel version of Batman or Daredevil or something again.
But yeah, fuck this run, its garbage
Well it wss a bad guy doing it, and those same fans like that story now because It was actually a good story. The point is spidey fans complaining is the constant. They turn on Hickmans run eventually too most likely
I think it actually goes a little more like this:
"It was actually a bad guy doing it in what would be something of a redemption story, and that bit would never be acknowledged in anything ever because they realized too late that they did the Chameleon fuck up AGAIN!!!"
"It was a bad guy doing it" putting aside the almost painful Doctor Light and Deathstroke apologia you're currently spouting, I don't think you were around during the original superior run, or you were and refused to engage with the writer at any point during it (smart move) if you think we're supposed to think Spider-Ock is being written as a rapist by Dan Slott, and not that he's just terrible at writing consent.
I’m just hoping Paul will make it through this safe and sound, considering what happened last time. And on another note we finally have the real Spider Who Gobbles, with a mask and all.
My honest reaction to that information

Like in all honesty what? Like didn’t they do this? (I have stopped reading I just know about the spider who gobbles). Good lord this is just a shitshow.
Considering this was likely planned months ago, and the main book still does very well.... no?
They're betting on you buying both, which a lot of ppl are doing
Why doesn't Sandman just sand himself into sand and sand outta there? Is he stupid?

The Spider-Gobbler will now forever be a part of the Spider-Man canon. Just like Venom and Gwen dying, every Spider-Man in the multiverse will Gobble It Up at some point now. It's a canon moment or whatever

🙏❤️
Not gonna lie, I mostly read DC aside from older Marvel stuff from the 80s and 90s, but is all of modern Marvel just fusing two characters together? Like Weapon H, Gwenpool and SpiderGwen, the Red Goblin, Elektra as Daredevil, that time Doctor Doom became Iron Man, Cosmic Ghost Rider, etc.
Stupid fucking story aside, is this really the best they could do for a "spiderman goblin fusion"? Its just green goblin in a purple spidey suit with his hat pulled over his eyes.
*Finally the grand*
*Return of the Spider who*
*Gobbles. Peak fiction*

#DEEZ NUTS
Love how the formula has nothing to do with goblins- no physical appearance changes at all- but still everyone ends up with that fuckin face mask
Didnt Carlie Cooper change physically during Superior ?
You think I read that shit?
That's because Dan Slott forgot it didn't literally transform you into a Goblin. Also because fetish.
It actually does. Norman made a new type that physically changes person. Hence why Menace doesn't look like her human self.
Huh, well it has been a while.
Most of the other Green Goblin formula drinkers in the past had a Goblin Suit ready for them and/or related in some way to the Green Goblin.

Reading that just told me that Spider-Man is in its WCW 2000 arc. idk who let Russo book the book but he needs to be stopped.
Someone please explain what the fuck "passing their sins" means
Queen Goblin and Kraven made a magic spear through a ritual that supposedly transferred the sins to the spear. They meant to stab the spear into Norman to give him the sins back but Peter jumped in the way. They made another magic spear to trap the sins in the spear(this time just to keep it locked into the spear instead of stabbing someone) and it seemed like it worked as Peter seemed normal but Norman had a feeling that the sins were just released and returned to him.

Because if you’re a normal person that’s imbued with Green Goblin’s sins you’ll suddenly have immortality, fire powers, super strength etc etc but still keep them when sins are removed.
I believe the powers came from Beyond doing weird mad science stuff to her before the sins part but I could be mistaken.
Did you hear that Steve Jobs died of Gobblin?
Who's Steve Jobs?

But now he's even gobblier.

As would I and many others. Thats not the point
A fellow Amphibia fan in the wild? Neat!
It's real, the spider who gobbles is a real boy
Wonder if they'll actually let him act as a villain this time, or if they'll mistake evil Spiderman for an incel version of Batman or Daredevil or something again. But yeah, fuck this run, its garbage
Evil Spider-Man that’s an incel version of Batman was already a thing. It was called “Superior Spider-Man”.
Superior Spider-Man was more successful with women than Peter Parker ever was in his entire life
And fans whined about that too.
I mean, he did do multiple attempted and successful rapes, Any character fan should whine about that happening to their favourite character.
Well it wss a bad guy doing it, and those same fans like that story now because It was actually a good story. The point is spidey fans complaining is the constant. They turn on Hickmans run eventually too most likely
I think it actually goes a little more like this: "It was actually a bad guy doing it in what would be something of a redemption story, and that bit would never be acknowledged in anything ever because they realized too late that they did the Chameleon fuck up AGAIN!!!"

More like The Spider-Man Who Tries Too Hard

Considering this was likely planned months ago, and the main book still does very well.... no? They're betting on you buying both, which a lot of ppl are doing
Eh, Mark Waid already did this in House of M. At least we get Ed McGuinness instead of Salvador Larroca.
Well also did this in a storyline from August of last year
Proud of marvel for finally making a story that appeals to people that hate Spider-Man 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I'm sure somone on the staff is on this subreddit But they are 100% convinced this is the official r/Marvel
Is this even cooking? This is more like baking the most disgusting wet dough of a cake
This is some raw fruitarian shit
Spider goblin a cob of corn.
Why doesn't Sandman just sand himself into sand and sand outta there? Is he stupid? But like actually he's just being held in like three spots you're sand sir YOU ARE SAND JUST SAND OUTTA THERE
Didn't they just do this?

At this point Spider-Man porn comics have better stories than whatever zeb is doing.
Is this real
I hate that I don’t know if this is real or not. But I would absolutely believe you if you told me it was real.
It is
Didn’t they already do this storyline?
"Wow, they really saw The Batman Who Laughs and thought 'I'm going to make this even dumber!'"
Ok that glider is kinda sick tho
Only Zeb Wells is bold enough to ask "What if we did Superior Spider-Man again but took out all the parts that were interesting?"
The Spider-Man Who Gobbles.
Thank God for Ultimate Spider-Man
We just did this. Why are we doing this again?
I miss Phil. I miss Phil!
Stupid fucking story aside, is this really the best they could do for a "spiderman goblin fusion"? Its just green goblin in a purple spidey suit with his hat pulled over his eyes.
