It’s Goblin vs Goblin in Superior Spider-Man #26.  Hobgoblin against the Green Goblin for control of New York’s underground.  Meanwhile, Spider-Man and The Avengers have a heart-to-heart conversation, and we learn more about Peter Parker’s whereabouts.

What I Liked

The battle between Green Goblin and Hobgoblin.  Instead of a straight-up gang battle, we get something slightly different.  I thought this was the beginning of “Goblin Nation” but it appears that starts next issue.  With that in mind, I don’t mind the multiple artists.  Each one illustrated a different portion of the story (Ramos on the Goblins, Rodriguez and Martin splitting the Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Avengers).

What I Didn’t Like

With the Avengers being so skeptical of Spider-Man, you’d think they would go through more lengths to find out what his deal is.  The Avengers have been sitting back being spectators.

Summary

Before reading Superior Spider-Man #26 make sure to read Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #9.  It plays a key factor in the build-up to “Goblin Nation” and starts to answer important questions.

As for Superior Spider-Man #26, chess pieces are shuffled across the board.  The final end game is being prepped.

Rating:  3 out of 5
