A lot of the 2000s-era all-star writers were big on "What if this father figure was a huge rear end in a top hat?", both in 616 and Ultimate. I try not to draw too many conclusions about what that says about them.

What really does it for me is the tight zoom on Norman's hateful eye; with how small the word bubble is compared to both the frame and his face, and the teeth down in the right corner, the whole panel combines so that even without any other direction, you know he's clenching his jaw and hissing: "It's youuuuu." God, he just hates that Peter's back so loving much right there. No idea how Parker hears him from a hundred feet away above the sound of a jet-powered goblin glider, but hey, comics.

Also you KNOW what Goblin is saying/thinking even if you removed his dialog completely. That page just works, the way his eye just grows more blood shot, the light, the zoom, everything.

Metalshark posted:The Star Trek/X-Men crossover issue is fun. Coincidentally, I've been reading the Claremont X-men lately. It gets off to a pretty slow start, but then out of nowhere, this terrific Star Trek parody:  And then, a few pages later, Claremont and Dave Cockrum make an appearance in their own comic book. Plus a goofy running gag about the X-Men's aircraft blowing up. Not what I was expecting...

Tasteful Dickpic posted:Norman understands the importance of having a sinister back and forth between the hero and villain. I'm reminded of his first appearance in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. He and Spidey go back and forth trading verbal barbs, and then Spider-man has to stop and go "Hey, nice banter!!". And he's right, because all the villains up til then had been pretty dull in the mid-fight lines department.

There was an issue of UXM right after the Inferno crossover that was a really blatant parody of the then-current Invasion crossover in DC, with Rob Liefeld on the art. I want to say there was a bit like that in there, with one of the Not Khunds Really getting shot for his trouble.

That was a brilliant issue, and since it was about the male X-Men going off to drink and hang out it was also a companion piece of sorts to the issue before, when all the X-women went to a mall and Jubilee made her first appearance.
