6. Superior Spider-Man: Goblin Nation by Dan Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli (Marvel)

Goblinnation The classic Spider-Man villain, Green Goblin, has been noticeably absent during the Superior Spider-Man run €“ but this year he returns with a bang! The mysterious Goblin King has been amassing his forces underground ready to assault New York and challenge Spider-Man for dominance of the city. But who's behind the mask €“ Norman Osborn or someone else? Goblin was classically Spidey's #1 villain but was never able to truly defeat Peter Parker, unlike Doc Ock who is now wearing Peter's body like a meat puppet! Relegated to second place, Spidey's two greatest villains go toe-to-toe in the new five issue story arc, Goblin Nation. Series writer Dan Slott has said that this is the storyline he might be remembered most for €“ for better or worse €“ as he reintroduces the classic character into the series. Like now-deceased Spidey villains Massacre and Spider Slayer (both killed by Superior Spider-Man), Slott has said that he's not afraid of killing off key characters a la Game of Thrones and that this is the storyline Superior has been building up to - is this the end of Superior Spider-Man? The prelude to Goblin Nation kicks off in late January with Superior Spider-Man #26 as Spidey tangles with the Avengers, and begins with Superior Spider-Man #27.NOW in February.
