First Look: AXIS: HOBGOBLIN #1

I'm not sure if I should be super-excited or a little scared. I love Hobgoblin. I'll definitely be checking this out.

This October, suit up with the one and only original Hobgoblin as he flies straight into the biggest event of the year in AXIS: HOBGOBLIN #1! That’s right, Roderick Kingsley, the one and only original Hobgoblin is back and fan-favorite creators Kevin Shinick (Superior Spider-Man Team-Up) and Javier Rodriguez (Daredevil) are taking him for a spin that’ll paint New York City orange! Only, Phil Urich, the city’s newly self-proclaimed Goblin King might have a thing or two to say about that! Yet as the threat of Inversion looms, prepare for a Hobgoblin book unlike any you’ve ever seen before. It all begins this October in AXIS: HOBGOBLIN #1!

This looks great and that 2nd page is hilarious. Definitely going to be picking this up

Love that art, plus the Amazing Fantasy #15 and Action #1 references are funny.

Not bad

Looks cool, liking the nods as well.

This brought a big stupid grin to my face.

So is Menacedead? Did Hobby kill her or was it Urich?

Is the idea with Axis that the bad guys are good guys and the good are bad guys? Like a what if?

This looks really fun and silly, I love it.

Hobgoblin lifting a 2CV... brilliant!

Hobgoblin is one of my favorite villains, I'm glad he gets some spotlight :D

Just from the 2nd page I'll be definitely be picking this up when it comes out. I love the action comics #1 refrence btw.

@superstarman: haha because he is now a good guy that's why is your favorite villain. okay. lol

Kingsley's my favorite goblin, and this looks great.

Love the second page

Man, i was really hype for this book. Now im going to pass. The Art is whack. I will read da reviews though as i am still interested in the story.

Should be interesting. Looks very amusing.

@medulaoblaganda: @Well of course being a good guy isn't the reason for him being my favorite villain. I think he's awesome, that's why.

I wonder if Kingsley will start giving out Hero Franchises. Okay who wants to be NFL SuperPro?

This one looks amazing. Totally picking it up.

This is going to be so great. I'm hoping the point of doing this with Hobgoblin is so that Nick Spencer will have a new hobgoblin ongoing series after AXIS he can do when Superior Foes ends.

Im excited for this, although I hope Lily isn't dead.

Love the look of this book

Even is if the story isn't very good, it still looks pretty funny and the art is great.

I might be dating myself horribly by this comment, but am I to understand that Hobgoblin is not dead? Last time I saw him living in mainstream continuity was the late eighties...but I don't read much. Spider-man.

Looks great

2nd page references, can someone tell me all of them? I see spiderman and superman. Between them its batman?

Kingsley is perhaps my favorite Spidey-villain (owed originally to Mark Hamill's fantastic portrayal of him in SM TAS).

Tactical, brilliant, physically superior, an arguably NOT insane, he makes for one of Pete's most unique enemies (and that is in spite of the of fact that there are SO many Goblins).

Hopefully this is well written, because I will be picking it up.

This looks great.
