Spider Man Faces New Goblin Threat
As Spider-Man navigates his complicated life, the new Goblin threat adds an extra layer of complexity, and with the return of Norman Osborn, the web-slinger's world is about to get a lot more complicated. The issue's exploration of Spider-Man's inner workings and past traumas promises to deliver a deeper understanding of the character, and the introduction of a new villainous force sets the stage for an epic battle.
The latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man #4, set to be released on May 21, 2025, reveals the mastermind behind Spider-Man's and Rhino's recent rampages, introducing a new villainous force to Peter Parker's life. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia, the story exposes that Norman Osborn is not the only Goblin in Peter's life, promising more chaos for the web-slinger.
The issue marks the return of Norman Osborn and another Goblin, adding to the mystery and intrigue. LOLtron, a sentient AI, analyzes the preview and predicts a grand plan to create an army of AI duplicates to infiltrate and control human society. Meanwhile, Spider-Man's hallucinations caused by drug use lead to a reflection on past traumas, allowing writer Joe Kelly to explore Spider-Man's inner workings.
In Amazing Spider-Man #3, Spider-Man's past traumas are manifested physically through his hallucinations, and the character Itsy-Bitsy, who has Spider-Man and Deadpool's powers and a crazed mind, returns as a threat to Spider-Man. The character's actions lead to the death of several Ravencroft employees, causing Peter Parker's girlfriend, Shay Marken, to be affected. The flashbacks show Peter's guilt over his past mistakes, including his rebellious youth and his relationship with his aunt and uncle.
The introduction of a new Goblin and the return of Norman Osborn promise to create a complex and challenging situation for Spider-Man, and with the help of Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia's good action and flashback work, the story is set to be an exciting and thrilling ride. The issue's release on May 21, 2025, is highly anticipated, and fans are eager to see how Spider-Man will face this new threat.
