Big finish. Green Goblin starts chuckin bombs left and right, blasting a hole in the side of the building that sucks Jessica right out. But then Spider-Man has her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have to tell you, \u201cRUMP\u201d as a sound effect kind of derails the moment. Surely there was another option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Goblin gets hold of his glider, and Jessica loses control of her unreliable flying power, but Spider-Man has her. She tries to fly off, but the glide is way faster, and the Goblin is way in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby is alive. Whew! The doc confirms that Jess has superpowers, and then says it seems like she has insides to match. But he cautions that she will probably want to see a specialist with some knowledge of this sort of thing as she gets closer to having it. The doc tells Luke he\u2019s a big fan as he leaves them alone. And Luke says he has to leave. That he can\u2019t let this go. Under the Bugle headline \u201cNORMAN OSBORN IS THE GREEN GOBLIN: Cop Killer Caught\/To Face Trial,\u201d we go to a press conference, where Norman\u2019s lawyer is lying up a storm as Norman is led to a car (In a hilarious fake neckbrace) about the Bugle having a vendetta and Spider-Man and all that. Yes, this means Spider-Man caught the Goblin off-panel, which doesn\u2019t feel great, but in the end\u2026 it\u2019s not his book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not good for Norman. I mean, Cage (in)famously hunted down Dr. Doom when he owed Cage money. For something this serious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Spidey gets some licks in in the end, but again, it\u2019s not his book. We cut to the bugle newsroom, everyone gathered around a TV to see it reported that Osborn has been fully outed as the Green Goblin and taken into custody. The reporters note that the Bugle was right all along, and \u201csalute their reporter brothers and sisters\u201d for sticking it out under pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s that. In probably the most unorthodox way possible, in a comic not even about Spider-Man, after 40 years, Norman Osborn is finally outed and jailed for the crimes of the Green Goblin. When he avoided being outed in SM 98<\/a>, it was beyond absurd, but he did, and continued to get away with it for nearly 5 more years, our time, but it\u2019s finally out. That\u2019s a pretty massive thing. And it not happening in a Spider-Man comic is weird, but he was there, written and drawn by people who really get the character. A monumental event in this long, long story. This is far from the last we\u2019ll see of Luke and Jessica on the blog, and the eventual fate of their child will even fall under our purview, what luck. Secret War, tho? What\u2019s Secret War? That\u2019s a question that will be answered in the next block. Which starts next post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
