The bad guys evade Doc Clamson, and go to China, where Magsquito defeats Iron Mouse, and they join The Mandaringtail and the dragon Doo Wop Doo. Spider-Ham fights The Mandaringtail, who defeats himself via a ring's misfiring, and SHEEP rushes in to save the day. Mary Jane decides she wants pizza after all. |
