We've finally escaped from the two-part bondage of the incredible Amazing Spider-Man Annual, which brought us into a battle with the Sinister Six! Now? We're back reading the original Amazing Spider-Man line of comics- and so is the Green Goblin (back, not reading). He's been stalking Spidey from the background, but our webbed hero is too busy engaged with other things - namely trying to deal with Flash Thompson and his new Spider-Man fan club. Oh, and Peter Parker's life genuinely falls...
