Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin

In the wake of Amazing Spider-Man #900, J. M. DeMatteis and Michael Sta. Maria craft a taut four-issue Marvel miniseries from 2024 that peers into the fractured psyche of Norman Osborn. As the Green Goblin’s shadow looms, the story weaves through the lives of those closest to Peter Parker—Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, and the Osborn family—while introducing Nels van Adder and Emily Lyman-Osborn into the web of secrets. It’s a character-driven thriller that deepens the tragic horror of the Goblin legacy, delivered with the psychological weight DeMatteis brought to classic Spider-Man tales.
