There's Something About Harry

YMB knows that everyone is desperate to know what One More Day has changed in the life of Peter Parker, but what about the other guy? The one whose life was changed beyond just a marriage never happening, the guy who was dead before this all started?

YMB posed ten "yes or no" questions to Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort to find out what we could about what has (and hasn't) changed for Harry Osborn. (We wanted to make sure we hit the important points: Harry's marriage and kid and his relationships with dad and Peter, so there's a bit of overlap here and there, but we think we covered all the bases.)

But first Mr. Brevoort had a quick disclaimer for the upcoming Brand New Day stories...

Quickie disclaimer: there are a couple of questions in here whose answers can best be found within the pages of the BRAND NEW DAY series of stories in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN in the weeks and months to come. So for those questions, I'd ask that you all sit tight, the answers will reveal themselves--but we do have them worked out, and you'll enjoy them a lot more reading them in stories.

1. Is Harry Osborn married to Liz Allen?
He was, yes.

2. If not, were they together as a couple at one point?
Yes.

3. If they were together as a couple, did they live with Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in the same building at one point?
They lived in the same building with Peter at the very least--I'm hesitant to say too much about the Peter/Mary Jane relationship that might tip our hand to what's coming up in AMAZING. So on part of this question, the answer is wait and see.

4. Does Normie Osborn still exist?
Yes.

5. Did Liz ever run Oscorp when Harry or Norman Osborn were not around?
Yes.

6. Does Harry know his father was/is the Green Goblin?
Wait and see.

7. Was Harry ever the Green Goblin?
Yes.

8. Are Harry and Norman on good speaking terms?
Wait and see.

9. Were Peter and Harry roommates once?
Yes.

10. Does Harry know that Peter is Spider-Man?
Wait and see.

So, we know that Peter and Harry were still roommates. We know Harry was the Green Goblin. And we got hints about two of the bigger issues fans were wondering post-OMD. First, Peter and MJ did not make a deal with the devil that wiped Normie Osborn out of existence. So that's good. And second, people are wondering if Peter and MJ weren't married, did they at least live together at one point? And while we got a "wait and see" on that, we do now know that at least Peter still lived in the same building as the Osborns at a time when in previous continuity he was married. So... maybe they did. Guess we'll wait and see...
