It’s not a comic book wedding till a super-villain arrives! Mirage, a petty thief turned criminal mastermind, crashes the wedding of Betty Brant and Ned Leeds. Will Spidey be able to save this special day? Or will Peter Parker’s identity once again be threatened in front of friends and family? Plus, Aunt May receives a surprise visit from none other than Dr. Octopus!
