>The Amazing Spider-Man #11 dropped the big reveal that Norman has taken on the mantle of Spider-Man for himself. No one seems ready to trust Norman with his newfound responsibility, least of all Ben Reilly, who has an agenda of his own as he impersonates his clone brother. As Kelly explains, the possibilities of exploring Norman in this new role were too good to ignore.

>“On shock value alone it's a fun beat, but the post-sins version of Norman is fascinating. He's not suddenly a ‘good person’ - everything that he ever did wrong still happened, but he has an opportunity to move forward as a sane person for the first time, maybe ever,” Kelly tells IGN. “What does a person like that do with a second chance, especially when they are still prone to ego, anger, and the rest? Norman has been letting himself get close to Peter, becoming someone Pete truly relies on. When Peter disappears, how does Norman fill that vacuum? Is it the best idea to put on a Spider-Man suit? Why would he think he could take on that mantle? What's he trying to prove? All great stuff to explore.”

>Needless to say, it’s going to be an uphill battle for Norman, especially as he’s dragged into a conflict involving fellow Goblins like Queen Goblin and Hobgoblin. Some mysterious foe is hunting Goblins, and that includes the former Green Goblin himself.
