Hopefully Roderick decapitates Phil in this issue. Poetic justice.

If Phil somehow becomes SSM, I'm out. That would be terrible.

Yeah, if the "other Goblin" is in fact Harry Osborn having returned after going into hiding since the end of Brand New Day, then I think this would give a lot credence to the theory that he'll be the new Superior Spider-Man. And if that's the case, I'm not sure how keen I would be about that.

What other goblin?

What other goblin?

Well, the solicit for this issue does say "We brought back Roderick Kingsley, the original Hobgoblin-will any other Goblins show?" So it's possible the part I highlighted could be a hint at one of the former Goblins returning. Of the one's who are still alive, there's only Norman Osborn, Lily Hollister, Harry Osborn, or Gabriel Stacy. It can't be Norman because he's in a coma thanks to what happened in New Avengers. Menace is a possible, I suppose. But so is Harry, who we haven't seen for almost 50 issues. And Gabriel? Well, given how he came about because of "Sins Past" would fans really want HIM back?
