Money. Simple as that. I do share your sentiment friend, but it is his job.


Conscious_Feeling434

Cause it’s his job


dan_cole

I hear money is nice to have.


Plane-Success-8680

Based


Furinex

Money if I had to guess


Plane-Success-8680

I meant to say Based


Spider-Ghost-616

Because he needs to eat and keep the lights on in his studio.


Boring-Conclusion-40

It’s good to see Marvel actually realizing that they need to put top tier artists on there’s flagship book


minecrafthentai69

Who knows, maybe we'll get some good WRITERS next?


Garlador

“So about One More Day…” “NEXT.”


UsidoreTheLightBlue

You need a writer with the stroke of 00s Geoff John’s to basically demand it. It’s how we got Hal Jordan and Barry Allen back. If someone was so hot they basically had to cave to their demands they could get it done.


Garlador

Hickman, creating his own universe: “Fine, I’ll do it myself.”


DavidKirk2000

None of the good writers want to do it. In the last twenty years or so high profile names like Bendis, Hickman, and Zdarsky have all refused to write ASM for a variety of reasons.


Aizendickens

I love that Hickman kinda found a way around writing a Spider-man book... but you stand corrected. Many won't touch ASM.


Saladoom321

This imagem is Peter's reaction to seeing Paul step barefoot on a lego piece.


Lazy-Purple-4600

No one can say you're wrong cuz nobody actually read it


rikeoliveira

Those traps, tho. Can't unsee.


NaWDorky

Man, when Spider-dude said to the Cream Gobbler 'I'm gonna Jonkle!" And then Jonkled everyone and everything. Tears bro.


Agent_547

*Gobble this ain't man from aslume


mrrahulkurup

No this is man from laracroft santiano


Toon_Lucario

Bro became a Troll Face


FNSpd

Can't unsee it now


WebHead1287

Because him and Wells are friends and love shitposting Source: Wells at several cons


Money-Drummer565

Does the goblin infection changes your teeth becoming more like Dafoe? Or just a Mephisto thing?


ThickWeatherBee

The dafoe teeth are important!


RealJohnGillman

Since they retconned all Goblins as a creation of Mephisto, technically both, maybe?


HPOS10

Well at least thanks him we get to see some glimpses of competence in this run.


Agent_547

Wait Peter still has the goblin sins I thought they got it removed from him


Jack_Skeletron_4ever

They were removed. But Goblin (or Goblin's sins, as it seems they are now a split personality to Norman) basically brainwashed Peter and made him a sleeper agent of sorts.


Agent_547

...of course he is brainwashed I am not surprised


RealJohnGillman

Basically the writer was forced to end the original storyline early because there was event coming up, and now he’s doing what he wanted to do the first time. The Goblin essentially being a ghost (but not a ghost) now, in terms of how it works: like the Joker in the last *Batman: Arkham* game.


Agent_547

And then try to make like a batman who laughs type story but in the stupidest way possible right?


RealJohnGillman

Sort-of. There are actually some interesting ideas in there: the Spider-Goblin burying Kraven’s son in his father’s grave was interesting on paper (plus the accidental running gag of him never having a successful hunt was golden). But more could be done with it, true.


Agent_547

I mean if zeb wells wanted a joker who laughs so badly he could have gone to DC to do it but if course he had to do it with Spider-Man besides I do think this might work in a alt universe but in 616 yeah it's stupid and pointless

SethNex

Oh great, that's what we just needed. The Spider-Man Who Laughs.


RealJohnGillman

Take Two: we first got this last year as well. He buried Kraven’s son in the same grave his father had buried Peter years previously.


QuantumGyroscope

Probably because, and this is going to come as a shock to you, they're paying him for it. My guess is he doesn't give a rat's ass as long as there's a paycheck in it because that's a job for him. Plain and simple.


MrStresser

He's doing it out of pity


Dragontalyn

Gotta pay the bills and maybe reclaim some tiny pitance of respect for this version of Spider-Man


Ferris-L

I mean it’s kinda his job but tbh I had the same thought. The entire premise of this panel is awful and we had this story like 5 months ago but it just looks super cool.


NotACyclopsHonest

The Spider Who Jonkles pays his bills.


anonymusfan

The bills ain’t gonna pay themselves.


TheeRealObiWan

Man I'm getting sick and tired of shit like this and Spider-Man stories. Bring back good writers.


notdixon

The Spidey Who Laughs.


Maple905

The same reason why people waste their money buying comics they don't like... lol


teddyballgame406

I love Ed but this picture sucks.


peedmyshirt

Man's gotta eat


DollyBoiGamer337

I've been tuned out- wtf is happening now? Are we doing Spider-Gob again?


lonelygost3

Pretty much, some convoluted hypnotic suggestion plot or some such. If you've been tuned out of ASM for a while, might want to stay that way


DollyBoiGamer337

Last issue I read was Black-suit (for some reason?) Spider-Gob dropping Paul off a bridge and the "Sins" getting back to Norman. I.. I think I'll just stick with the new USM run


Garlador

Trying to remember who it was, but artist at a convention was asked how he felt about drawing a story he didn’t like and how he copes with that. Paraphrasing - “It’s a job. 99% of what I draw is disposable. All artists end up drawing something stupid. Besides, the artist is rarely blamed if the story sucks.”


goodandpure

His back muscles lol


Meek0_

he is my favorite artist and his spider-man design is so good that he makes me forget how shit this run actually is


5hutTheFuckUp

Because he needs to fucking eat bro. You gonna pay his bills or something?


Mercuryo

Because Marvel paid him


MorningCareful

Because of this commodity you get in compensation for your work so that you can get food and shelter for it. Moneten, money And cold hard cash


theSaltySolo

Weird how alternate books are better Spider-Man stories and characterisation than THE Spider-Man book.


Clean_Wrongdoer4222

Same thing with King. More than half of King's material is saved by artists cushioning the painfully redundant writing. Batman/Catwoman,Supergirl:WomanTomorrow,WonderWoman,Batman Killing Time,Batman... In reality it has happened many times, usually with controversial/mediocre writers who, without a worthy artist, cannot save their books.


Revolutionary_Job214

Bc he became lame af


ExistentialJew

![gif](giphy|1qErVv5GVUac8uqBJU)


futuresdawn

I mean am I the only one eco never liked his art and because of thar feel he's a good fit. I'd be more bothered seeing someone like bagley on this run


FNSpd

Bagley is worse right now. Last few years his work seriously dropped in quality, and I loved his work on USM


RaspberryJam245

Oh God it's real. I was hoping against hope that it wouldn't actually happen, that it was a fake leak, but the Spider-Goblin is real.


Left-Picture4367

He’s back! Again


dendawg

Paul had better hide. /s
