Norman Osborn miniseries in the works

Marvel Comics has announced a five-issue miniseries focusing on Norman Osborn.

Announced at Marvel's Spider-Man panel during Comic-Con, Osborn is written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by Emma Rios.

The storyline reveals the former Green Goblin's fate following his imprisonment upon the conclusion of the 'Siege' event.

"He is a very twisted character. His double nature and personality are going to be a challenge, and I am very excited about the chance of working with a hell of a villain like he is. Smart, egomaniac, attractive, sick, dangerous," Rios told CBR.

"I hope we can provoke some kind [of] fascination over the reader, a love/hate relationship, because he is a snake charmer after all."

Osborn #1 arrives in stores in November.
