"Last Remains" hasn't played out quite like we imagined it would in Amazing Spider-Man, but today's final chapter in issue #55 certainly delivered some big moments. Kindred, a.k.a. Harry Osborn, finally hosted his twisted dinner party and shared his resentment over Peter Parker stealing Mary Jane Watson from him years earlier and keeping Norman Osborn's secret life as the Green Goblin from him.
Peter can't quite believe that Harry's actions are all because of that, and it's clear there's something else he wants Peter to confess to. Unfortunately, the wall-crawler has no idea what that is, and it's then we get a pretty strong indication that he's been turned into Kindred thanks to the events of the still infamous (and wildly unpopular) "One More Day."
In that, Spider-Man made a deal with Mephisto to sacrifice his marriage in exchange for his Aunt May's life, but that had many unintended consequences, including Harry's return.
Earlier in this story arc, Harry revealed that Kindred's face is just a mask, but there's definitely something supernatural going on here because Spidey actually punches straight through his head here (it's an incredible visual brought to life by artist Patrick Gleason).
While all this is happening, Norman Osborn suits back up as the Green Goblin, revealing that he took precautions to ensure his son's magic wouldn't work on him. As a result, he wasn't cleansed by Sin-Eater.
With that, he throws a Pumpkin Bomb, mortally wounding Mary Jane Watson, and calling on Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin to unleash what Harry describes as "The Darkness." It's hard not to wonder if this is all part of MJ and Norman's plan, but it's clear now that there's a much bigger story being told, and if "One More Day" is being undone, it might not be until Amazing Spider-Man #900.
It's a little disappointing that we still don't have any solid answers about Kindred, but it looks like patience is going to be key when it comes to Nick Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man.
