McFarlane arbitrarily changing Hobgoblin's personality just seemed to encourage future writers to keep screwing around with the character.G.

Ghost Rider was always concerned and put innocent life as priority. I guess he needed him to act that way so Spidey can lecture him. <br /><br />oh wwkd, Hobgoblin appeared in the spec title by conway when he team up with carrion. Jason Macadale personality was still dominate so the religious fever didnt appear until Mcfarlane. He also appear in Amazing in the Return of the Sinister Six 6 parter which he obvious Macadale is calling the shots in that story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-71583403102864845732009-12-04T14:56:55.431-05:002009-12-04T14:56:55.431-05:00I remember the demonic version of Hobgoblin was us...I remember the demonic version of Hobgoblin was used in another Spider-title around or before this story...he teams up with Carrion, I think, against Spider-man for a 2 parter.

It looks amazing, and it’s the type of thing the Hobgoblin should’ve been doing with his new powers.</b>"<br /><br />I'm pretty sure (or I just have a very overactive imagination) that in one of the Conway/Buscema <i>Spectacular</i> issues, he lost the glider and re-created it. It appeared first as flame, then solidified into the normal purple glider. It sounds like McFarlane decided it would look better at the "halfway point" (and he was probably right)!Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-67998992363957284542009-12-04T09:47:29.618-05:002009-12-04T09:47:29.618-05:00If you have some Spectacular/Web issues from this ...If you have some Spectacular/Web issues from this time, you should throw some reviews of them in too!
