Ah, Spec #189. My first Green Goblin comic I ever read or owned. It’s a bit contradictory to me. I don’t like Harry as a villain, but this is one of the finest issues of Spider-Man ever written and drawn in my opinion. The facial expressions on Liz and Normie express their emotions so well.
This issue ties story telling, plot, art, and emotion together perfectly. This issue is a masterpiece in my opinion.
In this episode I mention Spidey hurting his arm after getting charged by the Rhino during the Sinister Syndicate fight. It was not his arm; it was in fact a concussion.
We specifically chose this song (Brad’s pick!) for the following lyrics:
Heirs of a cold war,
That’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles,
I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair
So much of it related to Harry, what he “inherits” from his father and the ongoing war between Spider-Man & the Goblin. Very appropriate!
