Here is the sequence from NEW AVENGERS #2 --

Not sure what is going on on the second page with all the BOOOMs.

Because people "in the Marvel Universe" are the writers/artists/letterers/editors who create the stories and should know better?

Everywhere it counts, Spider-Man is spelled with a hyphen.  It's a weak justification to say that some spell it wrong, so doing so is actually OK.

It's okay to be stupid as long as everyone else is stupid.

QUOTE: I would say the page with all the "Boom" sound effects is Sentry flying Carnage up through the levels of the Raft on his journey into orbit.

Thanks for the explanation.

<<<Since when does Harry (in his normal, sane, non-Goblin mode) hate
Spider-Man (aside from in the movies, that is)?>>>

Exactly!

And even in the movies, the only reason Harry hates Spider-Man is the
death of his father.

So if Norman never died in the comics, why would Harry ever have reason
to hate Spider-Man?

Maybe Norman is going back into his box under the ground, and the guy
walking around now who looks and acts like Norman is really a Skrull. Or
Harry blames Spider-Man for the death of Gwen.

I don't have a problem if some new motivation for Harry's hatred of Spider-Man is established.

What concerns me is that apparent belief by the people now writing the book is that Harry "still" hates Spider-Man--as if he always did.

I see two possibilities:

1. The current creative team is lacking in knowledge of Spider-Man's history.

2. This is a deliberate attempt to make Comic Harry more like Movie Harry.

Originally, Harry snapped after witnessing his father's death (and drugs helped with that). He blamed Spider-Man for his father's death, and really got mad when he discovered that his own roomate and best friend was secretly his most hated foe.

However, after losing his memories of his life as the Goblin, Harry bore no ill will toward either Peter or Spider-Man, until his Goblin memories (and hallucinations of his late father egging him on) caused him to snap for good, which caused the chain of events that led to his own death (although he did make peace with Peter right before he died).

And I'm hoping that Norman is dead again, and that those ****ing Stacy twins never existed.

I don't have a problem if some new motivation for Harry's hatred of Spider-Man is established.

SER: My problem with it in concept stems to what I thought was a neat thematic element of early Spider-Man stories: Kids (Flash Thompson and co.) loved him but adults hated him (Aunt May and JJJ) while the reverse was true for Peter himself.

Betty Brant, a young person working in an adult world, straddled the fence, as did Robertson.
