Welcome to another addition of Weird Lore Bullshit Corner, in which we ask the question: Who is the Hobgoblin? And yes, we know you can just google that answer, but the mystery isn’t about the resolution, it’s about the mind-breaking confusion we suffer along the way…
Who the F*** Is The Hobgoblin?
This episode has everything: red herrings, toupée shenanigans, groin pulls, group blackmail, robots, evil twins, clones, demons and cyborgs! Also, there’s a medieval-looking dude who rides a stolen goblin glider who may or may not be the real deal or a brainwashed sap during any one comic panel. Tune in to descend into madness with two jerks locked in a basement somewhere.
