Comics Corner: The Amazing Spider-Man 156

   

Title: The Amazing Spider-Man
Issue Number: 156
Release Date: May 1976

Highlights

  • First appearance of Mirage
  • The wedding of Betty Brant and Ned Leeds
  • The mysterious homeless man returns, and reveals to Aunt May he's Otto Octavius, AKA Doc Ock
Low Points
  • Peter smashes a massive chandelier to stop Mirage
  • The issue exists clearly just for Ned and Betty to be married, and tie up that loose thread story arc - Everything else is just throw away villain of the week, and simple robbery plot point
Oddities
  • After the fighting, the wedding just resumes like nothing ever happened at all
  • The stairs in the building where Ned and Betty are getting married - Who's walking up those monstrosities, and why do they only connect to the top floor?
