In dramatic fashion the Vision has arrived in 17th century Salem to rescue his wife and the web-slinger! Surely Spider-Man and two avengers can beat Cotton Mather and the townspeople...right? But there are paranormal forces at work that guide Mather to victory and send Wanda, the wall-crawler, and the synthezoid avenger to the Salem jail! Once there, the trio meets John Proctor, a local resident who has been accused of being a witch. After escaping from the prison, Spider-Man and the Vision search for Doctor Doom's time machine in the forest close by.
