Courtesy of Marvel Comics, AIPT can share unlettered preview pages for Spider-man: Shadow of the Green Goblin #1! Written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Michael Sta. Maria and colors by Chris Sotomayor in a story set during the beginning of Peter Parker’s adventures as Spider-Man. The first issue is out on April 3.
“I’ve always been fascinated with Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man, a time before he fully understood what it meant to be a super hero,” DeMatteis shared. “SHADOW OF THE GOBLIN allows us to take a deep dive into Young Peter’s mind and emotions as he makes his way through this exhilarating, and sometimes terrifying, new world. We take an equally-deep dive into the dysfunctional dynamic of the Osborn family, seeing how that generational pain sowed the earliest seeds of Norman’s Green Goblin identity and left its traumatic imprint on Harry. If you think you know everything there is to know about Peter and the Osborns, think again!”
So what’s Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin about?
NORMAN OSBORN WAS NOT THE FIRST GOBLIN! Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin you know. But he is NOT the Original Goblin! It’s time to learn the shocking secrets of the Proto-Goblin, and its dramatic connection to the Osborn family! What role does a young Peter Parker, who has not yet understood his great power and responsibility, play in this unfolding of events?
The preview pages show Spider-Man fighting off a purse snatcher, a scene with Harry and Norman Osborn, and Spider-Man in the rain. How iconic! The series was announced back in December.
