Spider-Man/Deadpool - Joe Kelly

 Spider-Man/Deadpool - Joe Kelly

  1. Isn't It Bromantic? - Deadpool gets it into his head that he wants to be Spidey's best friend, and also that he wants to try to be be good.  Or at least better.  So, naturally, the way to accomplish both these things is to assassinate Peter Parker, an entitled one percenter tech genius who must have an evil agenda.  Makes sense if you're Deadpool.  This is a chaotic cluster of a comic story, jumping from one unbelievable scene (prisoners of Dormammu for some reason??) to the next and peppering nearly every panel with the multiple talk bubbles of these two verbose jokesters.  It gets to be a bit much, honestly, though I do like Joe Kelly's fast-talking silliness usually.  Styx and Stone make good villains and I actually liked the "double date" with demons that Deadpool planned.  Still, once Parker dies and goes to the afterlife, it kind of jumps the shark for me.  [3.5]
