THE RETURN OF THE HOBGOBLIN! The timing of this goblin's return with Peter working at Oscorp MUST be a coincidence, right? But who is donning the yellow cowl? Roderick Kingsley? Ned Leeds? Flash Thompson? If you know anything about Hobgoblin, you know that you know nothing about Hobgoblin.
Rated T
John Romita Jr delivers some fantastic art in the issue. The characters look great and the art beautifully captures the emotion of the characters. Read Full Review
It's another home run from the creative team of The Amazing Spider-Man. Read Full Review
By narrowing focus on the street-level aspect of the character, ignoring the larger universe, and pairing that with a creepier art direction and muted color palette that gives the book a simmering tone, the team has created a recipe for a strong street-level story that works well as an individual issue. Even 11 issues in, The Amazing Spider-Man defies categorization and makes the book an uneven, but oftentimes compelling read. Hopefully, the creative team finds a footing with this arc, and continues the strong momentum set by this issue as it moves through another crossover in the upcoming months. Read Full Review
The Amazing Spider-Man #11 is a good issue but nothing overly special. It was great seeing the interplay of the different characters and the appearance of Kamala Khan was fantastic but other than the scene with Black Cat, it didn't feel like anything groundbreaking. Read Full Review
If you like goblins in Spider-Man comics, you'll enjoy the complex melodrama between them in The Amazing Spider-Man #11. Spider-Man is just beginning to trust Norman Osborn, but it's clear he's still warry he could turn at any moment. Throw in some romance with Black Cat, and you have an issue with Spider-Man that juggles superhero stuff and day-to-day nerves well. Read Full Review
Even with modern Marvel leaning WAAAY too hard on the "Spidey is always a loser" trope and some familiar story points masked as call backs, this issue makes for an interesting read. Read Full Review
The Hobgoblin returns to menace our heroes. It's a lot of fun, and the creative team captures the frightening nature of his return! Read Full Review
Good, solid start to a new storyline, with a couple smaller storyline that piqued my interest in fun ways. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #11 is a serviceable, vanilla, sedate Spider-Man adventure where the Hobgoblin shows up to create problems just when Peter's life is turning around. The art is very good, but the story lacks wow moments or resolution for the long-standing issue #1 mysteries. Read Full Review
"The Amazing Spider-Man #11 has some compelling moments, but too much focus on mystery makes the issue fall short. Read Full Review
Wow actual character growth. From Peter, Felicia, Norman. I'm liking this a lot. Just need JR to be more consistently "on" or replace him. Glad to see Hobgoblin again, I'm just upset that they're continuing with Roderick Kingsley was always the Hobgoblin and not Ned like Stern intended but that's not Wells' fault. Great issue.
Great issue! Most of all, I think this was JRJR's best comic in years, and Marcio Menyz does some incredibly beautiful and evocative work on the colors. Still not really sold on rekindling the Felicia/Peter romance, but I'm willing to see where they're going with it
Ugh, Spider-Man fans are so goddamn obnoxious. Some of the reactions read like a tradcon learning to accept their kink. No one can ever just enjoy what they're reading.
This was a pretty interesting first issue for this new Hobgoblin storyline. While I do think we should be getting to the 6-month gap before people stop caring or it becomes too big of a mystery for what the eventual reveal is, this is still an enjoyable read that provokes a nice amount of intrigue. Plus, this features some of Romita's best art in this run yet, in my opinion. I particularly like how he draws Hobgoblin, which is good considering Romita is one of his creators. All in all, this was a good issue for the beginning of this story and I'm interested to see how everything develops.
I'm usually very confused these days when I read Wells' Amazing Spider-Man. The reason is that it has a lot of elements I should dislike, but Wells makes them work kinda sorta.
There are interesting things going and, even if they move slowly. But the pacing has been slow so far, so it shouldn't surprise.
In short? I kinda liked it. I'm interested to see where this goes. I know that a lot fans currently dislike this run, and I can see why, but I personally just can't. It kinda works for me.
Solid issue but an art change would be huge for this series.
Aside from JRJR drawing Kamala to look a little older than she is? O_o pretty fun start to a new arc and looking forward to this
Not bad and actually has all the ASM books elements to work for me so I'm enjoying it. I just wish this 6 month gap mystery isn't hovering around too long because once you hype something and drag it forever then you don't deliver, people just stop caring all together. Romita Jr. and Hanna/Menyz on art just deliver that classic familiar look which works well with these stories. It could be better but it could also be worse. You either like it or you don't.
liked it. Lets see how it goes in the hobgoblin story. Spider-man and black cat are dating now, which is interesting
Now this is what I am talking about! Someone solid characterizations for the Spider-Verse! Betty Brant, Ned Leeds, just everyone this issue seemed perfectly in line with how they should speak/act!
Judging from the User Reviews so far, I might be in the minority, but I think Pete and Black Cat might be an interesting couple! MJ seems to be kind of a cold fish in regard to whatever happened between she and Peter! I mean, come on, MJ even had a baby with that *other* dude! If that ain't a #WTF moment, as well as a "Go get her, Tiger!" in regard to Black Cat, then I don't know what is!
And, man, I do *not* .. *not* .. *not* trust Norman Osborne! He may some others fooled, but I think he is a bad man at heart! Sure, you ca more
There are plenty of interesting plot developments, mysteries, and foreshadowing here. That makes it a fun little read despite the ongoing "passive Peter" problem, but that's been dogging ASM since before this volume started. The art's solid and clear if not spectacular. While this wouldn't be the first comic of the week that I'd rave about and recommend, it's definitely good.
"Kamala Khan, Oscorp intern" continues to get a resounding thumbs down from me, though.
What am I seeing? A story going on? Incredible!
I don't actually know who this Hobgoblin could be. Ned Leeds would be obvious and I don't see a real reason for it. Anyway, let's hope this is a good mystery storyline just like Spidey has shown us multiple times over the years.
It's pretty solid for what it is. It's got some good parts, it just feels like it's missing something. Overall, it's fun enough, and it's good to see hobgoblin again.
Wells thinks he’s Roger Stern 😂
