GOLD GOBLIN

It's not easy being...gold? Norman Osborn's sins may have been cleansed, but his memories weren't - and as the Green Goblin, he's done plenty of horrific things to keep him up at night. Norman has worked hard to avoid all things "goblin" and stay on the straight and narrow, but recent events pushed him to give life as a super hero a try - and he liked it! But when the media dubs him the Gold Goblin, he starts wondering whether he can ever truly get away from the goblin inside? A devastating encounter with Ben Reilly, A.K.A. Chasm, pushes Norman toward the edge, and another terrifying opponent might send him over it! Being a hero isn't for everyone, and the crimefighting career of the Gold Goblin might soon be tarnished! Collecting GOLD GOBLIN #1-5.
