Spider-Man has been plagued by Goblins for nearly six decades now, and this February, a brand-new one will glide into Ben Reilly’s life to continue one of Marvel's most twisted traditions. Next February, Queen Goblin will make her presence felt in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man as part of the current "Beyond Era" that has shifted the spotlight to Peter Parker's clone.
Designed by Marvel Stormbreaker Patrick Gleason, Queen Goblin is set to make her explosive first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #88 and continue to plague Spider-Man and much of New York City in Amazing Spider-Man #89 and Amazing Spider-Man #90.
"Queen Goblin was one of the coolest ideas from our Beyond story summit," explains Executive Editor Nick Lowe. "All of the writers were riffing on the concept and character and when Pat Gleason dug in on the design we all LOST it. You aren’t going to believe this newest addition to Spidey’s rogue’s gallery!"
"When Nick and Zeb asked me to help with character design for Queen Goblin in Beyond I was thrilled," Gleason adds. "We went New-Medieval with some tweaks on the old Goblin toys. What’s even more fun is letting her off the chain and watching the rest of the art team like Arthur Adams run with her. The writing team has been working like crazy to make her debut worthy of a Queen. I'm writing a scene now that will hopefully melt some brains too."
February looks set to be a big month for Spidey. Writer Geoffrey Thorne and artists Jan Bazaldua and Jim Towe will bring back The Slingers in Amazing Spider-Man #88.BEY as Hobie Brown ascends to new heights as The Hornet. In the pages of Miles Morales: Spider-Man, Miles and Shift find themselves facing off against Space Stone-host Quantum and the Assessor, and they'll need help from Beyond.
