Jaydogrules Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 ASM 3... ST Annual 2... ASM 4... Hey Spyder I just realized that the close up of the date stamp, fourth one down (the earliest one, April 3, 1963) is actually MY book. Where did you get that image from? -J.

I don't recall it being a heritage book, but either way it just goes to show how small the comic book collecting world really can be. Glad to be in the club ! -J.

whetteon Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I thought the Doc was cool but until Amazing Spider-Man #700 I had no idea. He may be even more of a bad guy that the Green Goblin at this point. Superior Spider-Man was just superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have milked that story line in SS for years. I really wish they would have kept it going longer. So many ways they could have gone with it. I was bummed to hear they were rebooting the whole title so quickly. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyder! Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I would say that Doc Ock and the Green Goblin are tied as Spidey's top villains historically, while Venom and the Kingpin are both very interesting for their own reasons as well. Here is what I find so interesting about each as he matches up with the Web Slinger: 1) Dr. Octopus is a genius and a mental match for Peter Parker. 2) The Green Goblin is straight-up insane, making him incredibly unpredictable. 3) Venom is a physical match for Spidey, with the distinct advantage of not setting off his spider sense. 4) The Kingpin plays the role of puppet-master, often the driving force behind everything. His influence is wide-spread. My final opinion is that it's hard to beat what the Green Goblin did in killing Gwen. Gun to my head, I say the Goblin wins, but it is fun to discuss!

If it were just a choice between goblin and doc ock I would give the edge to doc ock. Goblin didn't technically kill Gwen Stacey, spidey did. Villains have thrown damsels off from buildings countless times before, so that doesn't make goblin unique. What made the storyline different and especially poignant is that Peter parker technically killed her. Whereas doc ock "killed" Peter parker. You can't really top that. And Venom is just plain cool. Well at least the Venom in the earlier storylines. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey just wasn't successful in saving her. Had he done nothing, she would have been dead as soon as she hit the water. That's one way to look at it. Though spidey himself still took some personal responsibility and if I remember correctly, he later ended up practicing different methods for stopping someone mid-fall so that their own momentum wouldn't snap their neck again. A slick lawyer would argue that spiderman was in fact negligent, and spidey's defense would argue that the goblin was the intervening factor. A jury could reasonably find some contributory negligence on spiderman's part, but with minimal damages for liability. Okay now I'm being a little too nerdy even for me. -J.
