SPIDER-MAN NOVEL, GOBLIN MOON pt II of III


If you will recall in the beginning of this very novel Spidey was fighting a group of scavengers calling themselves the RAT PACK, whilst a very familiar old nemesis whom returned from being in hiding for several years has return to take over the city of that which Spider-Man calls home....or has he?
Peter Parker just knows that h
is old foe Norman Osborn who was in hiding in Europe, for a long time is up to something just plain diabolic in the way of being New York city's current public advocate to the mayor. Yet he also knows even through he'd love to pop Norman a hundred times over for all the personal turmoil for his past deeds he knows he can't touch him, in chapter six of Goblin Moon Peter has to resort to taking time of keeping busy with such likes of "Lightmaster", Scorpion, the Gizzly, and of course Boomerang all of his many different foes but NOT THE ONE HE wants, and he's sharing photos of them with his lovely wife Mary Jane before leaving for her psychology class. When he promises her dinner at L'Ours Merveilleux after he has gotten paid by the Daily Bulge for his freelance work of said photos. When he arrives Betty Brant notices a bruise the size of Staten Island on his cheek, as he tries to offer his photos to city editor Robbie Robertson he finds that Robbie will only buy two of them since he's been bringing in a bunch lately. Johna Jameson catches Parker before he leaves the building for he wants to see him in his office, or rather Osborn does and then it happens Norman wants him on the staff as a employee not a freelancer and Peter's bound to want this offer until Osborn tells him it's in the company offices in Europe.... When offered the chance of a lifetime wouldn't you take it?, I know I would, wouldn't you as well in chapter seven, of Goblin Moon Mister Parker is offered such an opportunity by none other than his greatest enemy. Now Peter is sure that Osborn wants him out of the way with that job offer of being on staff is in Paris of all places, where really nothing BIG happens for him to take pictures of in the way of stopping crime as even Johna tries to admit Parker's better off in New York anyway even though he hates to be at Peter's defense. Osborn makes it more complicated by throwing in how he knows Mary Jane would love it there as well..... On the subway ride back to Forrest Hills where he and Mary Jane live in the house they inherited from May Parker whom died during the now classic over the top story known as (The CLONE SAGA in the monthly comic title of Amazing SPIDER-MAN), at another time I'll share with you how Marvel thought this would solved the married Peter Parker problem..... Peter is remembering how truly crazy Mister Osborn was in the past in chapter eight, he recalls his first time of meeting Norman as the father of his best friend outside of MJ of course, that friend was Harry Osborn, who off and on assumed the Green Goblin identity while Norman was in hiding. He recalled when Norman revealed to him as the Goblin's prisoner who the Goblin was and worst of all he recalled the death of a girl named Gwen. Knowing he can't touch Norman as him being public advocate to the mayor he blew off unwanted stress by catching a few drug pushers, when a thought occurred......Later that night he hopes to find any reason to find out if Osborn is perhaps faking his true intentions towards the mayor and to prove he's faking it all as he once did years ago with a case of amnesia. So Spidey hits Osborn hard in chapter nine, by going right into the loin's den and finds he seems to be wrong when he confronts Norman's personal security team known as Securi team or is he? Yet before he even tries to leave Osborn gives him one word of advice "You should have taken the European job, boy!"....... Come the next morning Peter heads off to the Daily Bulge without waking Mary Jane knowing she'll get ready soon for her Psych class. In chapter ten Peter tells Johna of his decision to stay in New York yet he doesn't tell him completely why, even though Johna is happy Parker made the right choice he proves he is truly Spidey worst non costumed foe by mocking him the best way he does. After trying to find out if Osborn was going to kill the mayor, if he heard Parker didn't take the Paris job by staking out both the mayor home and city hall as Peter Parker he finally heads back to his own place in Forrest Hills. Only to find Mary Jane has been sleeping in the very same position since earlier this morning, and with worry he take her to the hospital as the web slinger as fast as his webs would carry the two of them......A frantic Spider-Man takes his stricken wife to Parkway hospital where he has taken Aunt May a bunch time when she fell ill... in chapter eleven it's a emotional roller coaster ride for Peter Parker as he like anyone who has a love one in a doctor's care would like their own doctor helping that love one. After finding out what has happen to his wife from the main emergency doctor on staff he tries in vain to find his friend Curt Connors a doctor whom he knows who can help her, yet while at Empire state university finds out the doc is in Osaka Japan for a International Association for Biochemical Research conference. When the doctor who gave Peter this information and offered his help Peter declined knowing really only other scientists who were heroes like himself may hopefully be able to help his loving wife. Yet even though everyone he could think of was busy at the very moment he tried calling Parkway hospital getting no answer till he looked at the TV set of a report that made him just sicker.......
