Title: cheap attempt to cash in on the movie
Review: In an attempt to gain readers that liked the movie, Marvel made sure that the Green Goblin would be featured in this story arc, which began in the pages of Peter Parker in May 2002, the same month as the movie's release.The whole thing feels like it was really forced upon them. The story seems to be a major turning point in the relationship of Peter and Norman, but then it doesn't go anywhere. The promise of this being a truly climactic confrontation is never delivered upon. In the end, it feels like there wasn't really a story to tell here, just an attempt to include the villain that audiences would want to read about, after seeing him in the movie.This isn't the worst Spider-Man material in recent years. Later issues of Peter Parker would deliver that. It's just not up to the high standards of fun storytelling that Jenkins and Ramos had established in the earlier part of their run on the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
