Summary: Norman returns to the Osborn estate to launch a subtle, insidious attack on Spider-Man. Through psychological and chemical manipulation, Osborn forces Peter to carry out attacks as the Green Goblin. Osborn's eerie goal: To make Peter heir to the Goblin legacy!

Continuity: Several satisfying flashbacks. Osborn, as a child, is forced by his father to spend a night alone in the abandoned family estate; during the long, dark night, Osborn fantasizes he is surrounded by goblins. A grown Osborn marries, and then loses, his wife, Emily.

Comments: A creepy and effective peek into the psyches of both Osborn and Spider-Man.
