Marvel Comics celebrated the approaching 60th anniversary of Spider-Man, which lands in August, by putting a fresh coat of paint on oไne of his oldest foes by turning Norman Osborn from the Green Goblin to the 'Gold Goblin,' as revealed during the publisher's Spider-Man panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego. 

While the tone of the panel was mos𝐆tly celebratory, Marvel did sneak in a few hints and tidbits about the Wall-Crawler's upcoming adventures - including some particularly interesꦡting developments for Norman Osborn, and a return for another classic villain in Norman's bad guy family tree.

First up, Marvel's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:just revealed October 2022 solicitations have already r♛evealed that the Hobgoblin will return in Amazing Spider-Man #11. But at the panel, it was revealed that the new Hobgoblin arc will conclude in Amazing Spider-Man #13 - with "a chilli🎐ng end."

Whatever happens, it'll apparently hit Norman Osborn particularly hard, as that issue will also put Osborn back in a Goblin suit - but not th♚e GREEN Goblin suit. Instead, Norman will take up the mantle of the 'Gold Goblin,' complete with his own spinoff titl💝e from writer Christopher Cantwell and artist Lan Medina.

What the hell does the switch from Green t🦩o G𝄹old mean (Aside from Norman maybe being a Packers fan)? 

We'll find out with the rest of you, but let's just say our Spider-Senses are already tingling about this development, especially since Norman will soon become an ally to Spider-Man, ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚequipping him with a new OsCorp-designed suit c𝓀omplete with Goblin-esque weapons including Spider-Bombs and a Spider-Glider.

As for who the returning Hobgoblin is, the text for Amazing Spider-Man #11 in Marvel's October solicitations asks that very question, listing former Hobgoblins Roderick Kingsley, Ned Leeds, and Flash Thompson as p꧅ossibilities. But the question of who is behind the mask of t﷽he Hobgoblin is baked into the concept of the character, so there will likely be some twists along the way.

Then, in Amazing Spider-Man #14, Chasm returns in a prelude to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Spi🔜der-Man/X-Men ꦯcrossover The Dark Web. He'll appear alongside his partner in crime in that story, the Goblin Queen (Madelyne Pryor, no relation to Osborn's alter ego) - and a "brand new" villain ꦰwho has yet to be revealed.

The original Hobgoblin saga is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Spider-Man stories ever.
