The awesome conclusion to the five-part goblin saga! At Radio City Music Hall, the Green Goblin emerges triumphant!

And the final donnybrook between the Green Goblin and the Amazing Spider-Man begins! The wall-crawler is in control of the battle...until a second goblin arrives on the scene! What?! Who? The web-slinger watches in shock as the battle of the goblins unfolds! Can Harry Osborn exorcise the demons of his past? And somehow return to a normal life? An uplifting story!
