Spoilers and Review:
Looks like there are TWO Hobgoblin after the Amazing Spider-Man.
Ned Leeds and Roderick Kingsley.
They have soundly defeated Spider-Man even with his Osborn tech upgrades.
Before Spider-Man can be impaled, Norman Osborn comes into the fray.
He’s now the Gold Goblin and no longer the Green Goblin.
It’s a team-up Spider-Man didn’t know he needed as the Hobgoblins flee.
However, Kingsley betrays Leeds and escapes leaving the latter for Spider-Man and the Gold Goblin.
The Gold Goblin wants answers from the Ned Leeds Hobgoblin and is not afraid to get his hands bloody doing it.
Spider-Man naturally has issues, stops the beating, as the book pivots to the Roderick Kingsley Hobgoblin’s lair.
However, is it his lair or his benefactor’s the Queen Goblin’s lair?
The next issue begins to spin the Dark Web event, with its Goblin Queen (word ordering switched) aka Madelyne Pryor teaming with fellow clone Chasm aka Ben Reilly, so this story may continue during or after the event.
The Pulse:
An action-packed issue with lots of intrigue, emotion and revelations. I really like the JRJR art on this book as much as I hated it when he worked on Superman for DC. He’s a good fit here with the darker tone of this series. Cool cliffhanger. 8 out of 10.
