that was pretty much my problem with killing off his boyfriend. it's such a lame way to build drama. it's exactly the same as Major Force killing off Kyle Rayner's girlfriend. it's like the character only exists as a means to give cheap angst. I also find it kinda darkly humourous that DC hyped up new-Alan being gay so much just to kill off his boyfriend in the first story he appeared in.

The rumours are the BF will return as the new Obsidian and be a villain....

I was reading the origin of the Hobgoblin trade and it mentioned Harry going Green for a bit and it made me think of one other overused thing, a close friend of the hero turning villian. It's fine when done sparingly and well but holy f*** it happened to often to Pete, especially with Harry. Hope to god he doesn't go evil ever again, let him have some peace and raise his kid dammit. that was pretty much my problem with killing off his boyfriend. it's such a lame way to build drama. it's exactly the same as Major Force killing off Kyle Rayner's girlfriend. it's like the character only exists as a means to give cheap angst.

Was hoping the thing about Obsidian and Jade being Scott's nece and nephew would happen.

and Phil Urich's the new Hobgoblin (terrible decision but I digress). on top of that, Flash Thompson's Venom, and while he's a good guy the symbiote itself still hates Peter and hijacked Flash's body at least once in order to kill him during the first arc of the new series. maybe Peter should just not make friends, he'd be better off that way ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Man I totally forgot about Phil, holy f*** that was dumb. And I'm not gonna count Flash. One thing I'm hoping for when ti comes to Flash is the Venom suit becoming more like Toxin was to Pat *One thing I hate about Remender, the one thing*. One detail people forget about the Suit was that it did love Pete in it's own twisted way and it was more of a jealous jilted lover when it was bonded to Brock, hatign Peter and wanting to kill him but still wanting him back. Not to big a fan of the current Venom depiction as more of a mindless monster though Gargan venom was pretty fun especially when he had his own mini.

Pete was asking for it.
