Uh-oh, look who\u2019s back. It\u2019s been a whole 5 issues since the biggest new Spider-Man villain since the 60s hit the scene, which is a pretty long time, actually, almost half a year. Time for more mystery and excitement. Let\u2019s spin the wheel and see who\u2019s inking this month\u2026 Ladies & Gentlemen, it\u2019s Klaus Janson! Is this their first collabo? I\u2019m not sure. Janson will come to be the guy who knows John\u2019s line the best, but this is early days, so it\u2019s not quite the synergy it one day will be. Anyway, Spider-Man is visiting Black Cat in the hospital when he says has to go do something if they\u2019re going to have any kind of future together. And that thing is\u2026

Spoilers: he will not. Then there some comedy business with Peter trying repeatedly to get the dean to sign his form, and then, after the dean is really rude to him, webbing his office door shut, and Peter is out of college. For now.

MJ is scared off of their lunch by this talk, but Liz is undeterred. Well, until they get to Harry\u2019s office and find it ransacked, that is. Then she\u2019s pretty distracted. Soon, Spider-Man is on the case. He reads about the break in in The Bugle, and even though the MO feels wrong, he\u2019s sure it\u2019s Hobgoblin. So he drops in on Jean DeWolff.

Think real hard, Spidey, and you\u2019ll get there. He\u2019s still contemplating it when the cops get word of a firefight at Peir 3, where there happens to be an Osborn storage warehouse. Spider-Man gets over there as soon as he can. He sneaks into the warehouse and attacks the goons inside. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But then a figure in a nearby truck throws some of Hobgoblin\u2019s razor bats at Spidey and the goons alike, so our man knows he\u2019s on the right track now. The guy in the truck tosses a pumpkin bomb at the warehouse, forcing Spider-Man to save the goons inside, but not before getting a tracer on the Goblin\u2019s truck. He saves the goons as the semi truck smashes through the police barricade. But as soon as it\u2019s out of sight, the truck ejects a van out of the trailer and it drives away. Pretty slick escape plan. Back at the fire, all the goons have the same story: They didn\u2019t even know what they were stealing, only that the guy in the truck, a small time hood named Lefty Donovan, did. The cops think Donovan isn\u2019t normally one to pull off something this big, but Spider-Man ast least has a name to chase now. Surely it\u2019s not that easy!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yup, Lefty\u2019s just a goon. Green Goblin\u2019s power came from a chemical formula, and Hobgoblin is trying to reproduce it. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never! In the letter page, people are reacting to ASM 239, the 2nd part of Spidey\u2019s first encounter with Hobgoblin, and they have a lot of thoughts:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A lot of candidates! Are any of them right? I\u2019m still trying not to spoil it if I can, so no comment from me. But I bet none of them could predict how long they\u2019d be waiting to get an answer…
