The conclusion to this Green Goblin chapter is... Not as good as the first half. A lot of this issue is just Norman explaining his life and how he became Green Goblin.

It's going to bug me now that they never explained why Norman didn't resort to the Goblin immediately after issue 37, but I guess life has its mysteries.
