Some of Straczynski's finest writing in this one issue. The one thing that didn't tie together was Aquaman's hypnotizing the sailor to forget any of what he saw happened only to have the sailor remember it in full when recounting it to the police. I also felt Etrigan's destruction of the elder god just too quick and clean. But those do not in anyway measurably detract from the splendor of this story.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Harry at one time actually drink a serum to turn into the Green Goblin and when that potion wore off he was just a man in a goofy purple outfit. It could be that since Norman has been off his rocker for so long , that he is taking this and manisfesting his Goblin identity in true physical form like Harry once did. I could be off and it could be painted on , but the teeth changing made it seem like a actual transformation was happening. I haven't read my Spidey stuff in years and haven't been following much Marvel these days so I don't know and really don't care just adding my insight.
I loved the Aquaman /Demon story maybe Geoff Johns has some competition for writing at DC now. GL Corps and Booster Gold were both great this week as well.

To my knowledge Harry and Norman both wore goblin masks. The goblin formula altered their minds and strength but didn't distort them physically like that. To my knowledge, anyway.

That rings true , but for some reason I am remembering a time when it did transform him, (not the Ultimate Universe either). I know that it enhanced strength and made them nuts as a side effect. I could be wrong on this.

Sounds like a plan! I stopped reading the B&B after the first 15 issues. The last couple of books I read were very disappointing. I'm excited to hear that it's turned around.

Wow.
I feel like Thor in Siege 1 when he's hammered!
Protector's statement of Osborn painting his face before going to War, like warpainting makes sense to me. The thought of doing this is great and I bet he was beyond nuts and didn't noticed that.
Need to read Siege 3 again!  (Not that I need an excuse)
