Spider-Man: Revenge of the Green Goblin

Spider-Man: Revenge of the Green Goblin #1-3

by Roger Stern, Howard Mackie, Paul Jenkins

Peter Parker was a normal teenager until a bite from an irradiated spider granted him incredible arachnid-like powers. He possesses superhuman strength, reflexes and equilibrium; the ability to cling to most surfaces; and a spider-sense warning him of impending danger. Living by the mantra -- with great power comes great responsibility, Parker donned the costume of Spider-Man and dedicated his life to fighting evil wherever it may lurk.A maniacal manifestation of Norman Osborn's chemical-induced insanity, the Green Goblin has done more than any other villain to wreck the web-slinger's world. He has consistently terrorized Peter Parker's friends and loved ones, bringing a personal element to an already dangerous confrontation. Once believed dead, Norman has recently resurfaced, more deadly than ever before.

The Green Goblin is on the loose Having restored a portion of his sanity, Norman Osborn has vowed revenge on his most constant source of misery - the amazing Spider-Man. As the Goblin enacts his devious plan, Peter grapples with his own sanity, trying desperately to stave off the psychological assault prepared by his mortal enemy. Can Spidey escape the mind-numbing effects of Norman's latest attack or will he be the latest victim of the Green Goblin's corruption?

Es dificil seguir las series regulares de los superhéroes por sus altibajos, bandazos y continuas interrupciones con megaeventos. Pero de vez en cuando un arco argumental consigue picar el interés y mantener un nivel decente ( a veces extraordinario, pero ne es el caso). Este se deja leer y nos lleva de nuevo al mundo agridulce de Peter Parker. Buen guión de Stern y estupendos dibujos de Romita Jr.
Eso si, lo que yo he leido es un recopilatorio que amalgama la miniserie con los números de la colección regular.

Delves a little into the backstory of Norman Osborne. Interesting enough. What is more enjoyable though is the latter part of the tale with a fight between the Green Goblin and Spider-man. Overall a decent read. Nothing groundbreaking.

Madman Norman Osborne has targetted Peter Parker and sought to drive him into madness. There is a certain familiarity about this Goblin vs. Spidey-- way too similar to the relationship between the Joker and Batman, especially in the movie versions. The Goblin sees himself as the opposite of Spidey and trying to drive Spidey into madness, to mold him into an heir to evil.

Pretty much a rehash of the Batman-Joker mythos with different costumes.

So grim, so much fun. Some great art by John Romita Jr., but also so much so-so art. Good read, anyway.

This was a surprise. It really reminded me of Daredevil: Born Again.

Classic Green Goblin. In some ways, a hybrid of Lex Luthor and the Joker, on full display here.
