What an ending for Stern’s legendary run. Can’t believe this saga ends without the Hobgoblin reveal. Now that’s it all said and done I think I can comfortably say the Roger Stern run is better than Gerry Conway’s:
1: Stan Lee
2: Roger Stern
3: Gerry Conway
4: Len Wein
5: Marv Wolfman
6: Denny O’Neil

Sterns run was amazing but ultimately just didn more
