''Gold Goblin'' is a 2022-2023 limited series from Creator/MarvelComics, written by Creator/ChristopherCantwell and with art by Lan Medina.

It is a spinoff of Zeb Wells and John Romita's ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan2022'', focusing on the now-reformed [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Norman Osborn]], his attempts to aid Peter Parker as the Gold Goblin -- and his attempts to ensure the Green Goblin never rears its head again.

!!''Gold Goblin'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* TheAtoner: As established in the main run, Norman's trying to be this -- including redirecting Oscorp's focus on adapting his Goblin technology for altruistic purposes.
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Ashley Kafka AKA the Goblin Queen.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Norman saves Peter Parker from the Goblin Queen, but is forced to kill Kafka and fears he will ''never'' be rid of the Goblin's murderous impulses.]]
* ContinuityOverlap: The mini-series chronologically begins after the "Hobgoblin" arc in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' (ASM #11-13). Issues #2-3 also tie directly into ''ComicBook/DarkWeb''.
* ADAyInTheSpotlight: For Norman.
* GivenNameReveal: ''Gold Goblin'' #2 reveals that the Jack O'Lantern from [[ComicBook/VenomDonnyCates Donny Cates's Venom]] is named Owen Ward, and that Norman Osborn's childhood dog was named Mucky.
* LowerDeckEpisode:Issues #2-3 show ''Dark Web'' from Norman's perspective, but he ultimately has little bearing on the event's main narrative.
