Hobgoblin in Dark Reign?
Joey Q answers if Roddy will have some role in Dark Reign. As to make this legal I'm posting a classic Hobgoblin moment from Hobgoblin Lives.

From today's Cup O'Joe:

http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21973

Kiel Phegley: CBR Forums member bloc-op was one of a few people asking, "Is there any chance to see the Hobgoblin in Dark Reign? It would be great to see him in that storyline. I think he is not use a his full potential he should be with the Zodiac gang."

Joe Quesada: It's always a possibility, bloc-op, but I'll be honest with you right now, at the moment there are no plans for Hobgoblin and I don't think we'll see him during Dark Reign.

Jonah Weiland: Why not?

Joe Quesada: It's just that we've got enough! [laughs] There comes a point where everything that's in the story has got to be in the story for a reason. So I don't think you'll be seeing him in Dark Reign.

*sob*

What is it with Joe and his Hobgoblin bias? The original hasn't been seen in over ten years in the regular 616. The new Hobgoblin who appeared in Secret War hasn't been seen since the Red Sonja/Spidey crossover. What gives Joe? Heck you even ask them a question if they could reprint the Hobgoblin Saga and they'll just chuckle and say, "Wasn't there one released like in the 90s?"

Yeah there was.. AND IT'S OUT OF PRINT. *sigh*

What is it with Marvel currently and their anti-Hobgoblin agenda? Too many Goblins in the house? Come on, would one more Goblin really be too much?

I guess we can only hope then either Roddy returns again in MC2 or Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3 is confirmed and come's here sooner. I really miss that magnificent bastard. But I digress, if Marvel just continues his legend of magnificent bastardy will just grow and grow. After all Roddy show's us crime does pay. *sniff*

Anyway to make this legal, from Hobgoblin Lives #1 when Roderick decides he's had enough of that idiot:

	Do you really want them to use Hobby and end up killing him so a crapassed new villain gets "street cred"? No? The STAY QUIET BEFORE QUESADA NOTICES! D: (Reply to this) (Thread)

	(The preceding post was made half-jokingly, but I really don't want Quesada to notice Hobby, really.) D: (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Good point but then when and who? Sooner or later Stern can't tell the stories he wants to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stern just wrote an AWESOME story in Spiderman Family about Aunt May's past. He actually managed to include and fix 'Trouble'. I swear, it was a master craftsman's continuity. It is a bit wierd that the best BND stories are in Spiderman Family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have to ask. How did he fix Trouble? I thought the only way to do that was to say, "It happened to some other people who have nothing at all to do with Spider-Man." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Stern fixed the bad hair coloring and took out the cheesy stupid. The sex was left out of the telling--she was telling her nephew, after all. It was set better and he used a different friend rather than May's very young sister-in-law.

And May mentions that she miscarried the only child she ever got pregnant with. This allows the main events to have happened, but she isn't Peter's real mother. She's much older by the time Peter's mother gets pregnant.

	Thanks. I can live with that, though I still like the "it was some other people" explanation. Or "If Stan Lee didn't write it, it's not canon." If I keep repeating those two phrases, I find Spider-Man a lot less aggravating. (Reply to this) (Parent)
