Today sees the publication of Gold Goblin #4 and Red Goblin #1. That's a lot of Goblins. Though Norman Osborn, the current Gold Goblin…

Susie Dent told BBC news "It seems in some ways quite a frivolous choice but actually the more you dig into it the more you realise it is actually a kind of reaction to the existing state of affairs. We're sort of retreating and no longer want our life to be curated by filters." And, of course, to turn into Green Goblins whether by administered drug, exoskeleton or alien symbiote…
