IMO, the first issue of the Osborn miniseries was a bit disappointing, mainly because, well, Norman's not in it a whole lot. The bulk of it's setting up the main focus of the series, with Norman being transferred to a maximum security wing with a number of other high-risk supervillains. 

There's a back-up, though, written none other by our friend Warren Eliis. It's primarily a character study on one of Norman's new cellmates, but it also features, well, Norman being Norman.




Watch out ladies, Norman's back in town.

Listen up, ladies and gentlemen. Spider-Man has been on the run for over six hundred issues. Average web swinging speed is six miles per hour barring injury. What I want out of each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every Newspaper office, fabric shop, pet store, pancake house, hen house, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Peter Parker, let's get him.

Six mph seems way too low to me. (And yes, I know you were quoting, but the quote is 4 mph, so...)

It's been out of style longer than most of the people writing comics have even been alive. Makes sense on Norman, but why is hip young Harry wearing it?

I didn't think it was a style, I thought his hair just went like that.

Maybe they're going for the 'inherited madness' trope that has been used forever, connected to the Mad Hair Is Indicative Of Personality thing (think Harry Potter) that Harry will be doomed to be just like him and his 'mad hair'.

The Osborns do have naturally wavy hair, but that particular Brycreem'd hairstyle is kinda 50s. The film versions of them have the same texture, but a more realistic version.

Yeah, that was actually more or less what I was thinking.

A) He's not wearing the woman's drink in the second panel, which suggests impressive self control on her part and

B) What emotion is this supposed to engender in me? I'm not amused, impressed, or even disturbed, if anything, I'm embarrassed for the sad git as it's a crass, juvenile pickup line which had as much chance of working as walking up, sticking his head between her boobs and going wubba-wubba-wubba before even introducing himself.

The mental image of Norman doing that to Gwen just made me LOL right now.

The more smarmy/disgusting they make Norman, the less the whole Sin Past Gwen thing makes any sense (i.e. the excuse that Norman was charming with charisma and that was enough for Gwen to have sex with him and not the Love of Her Life boyfriend). I wonder if anyone at Marvel is aware of this.

Well keep in mind Norman then was different than Norman now. That was when he was 'cured', the Goblin persona was under wraps and he was more or less a nice guy.

More less than more, but even back then, he got where he was by being a workaholic, not by being a charismatic leader of men.
