Summary: Five Bucks & a Pizza Says You'll Love This.
Review: The conflict between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin has been an integral part of the Spider-Man mythos since close to the beginning. And this story is the best example of it since "The Night Gwen Stacy Died".Norman Osborn again takes on the mask of the Green Goblin and decides to draw Spider-Man in a conflict that if Norman has his way will only end in death. But Norman's true target is not who it appears to be until the very end, and shows just how deranged he truly is. But Paul Jenkins also establishes a deeper, more psychological conflict between the two men. Really, at the very heart, they are just two grown men who dress up in strange, garish costumes and work out their own psychosis on each other by beating each other up, and drawing others into it. As great as Dr. Octopus, Venom, Carnage and the Hobgoblin are, none will ever have that twisted connection to Spider-Man and will ever be able to get under his skin like Norman Osborn has. If you're looking for a great, psychological, emotional drama, then I suggest you pick this up. Some say they were disappointed by the ending, but really, if you think about it, it was the only way this story could end.

Summary: Send in the Clones
Review: The Green Goblin returns from the dead? Yeah, right and Spiderman has been a clone for the last twenty years. Give me a break. Where do they get their "original" ideas, the Disney company?

Summary: Great story, not so good illustrations
Review: This graphic novel is a reprint, in a book form, of Peter Parker: Spider-Man #44-47 (2002). In this story, Peter Parker feels that he has hit bottom - his marriage to MJ is on the rocks, the death of Gwen Stacy still haunts him, and his life has turned out worse than he could ever have imagined. But, just when he thinks that things can't get any worse, they do. Norman Osborn has picked up the costume of the Green Goblin again, and has woven a web around the Spider-Man. Can Peter overcome his arch-enemy? But what will be the cost?
This book has a great story: intense, with plenty of suspense to keep you reading. Overall, I think that this is one of the best Spider-Man stories I have read in a while. My one complaint is with the illustration-work. The images are drawn somewhat idiosyncratically, looking like caricatures, which my eleven-year-old son found quite disappointing. But, that said, we did enjoy the book, and recommend it to you.
