Rated T+
The art is pretty good, honestly Id say above average for Marvel lines, and, as Ive stated, the dialogue is great and the story makes a lot of sense. To any fan of Deadpool, these comics are a must, as they serve to develop his complicated relationship with Spider-Man, an increasingly important part of his character in the last five years or so. Personally, I enjoy them more than usual Spider-Mancomics, but if youre looking for the slice of life/soap opera elements that are usually prominent in the life of the web-slinging hero, you will probably be disappointed. This line focuses more on humor than anything else, which for Marvel, I find to be a refreshing change of pace. Read Full Review
. Even if this wasn't a comedy book, Nauck's pages would have made it a standout issue. Maybe Kalan and Nauck should stick together for their next project. I'd buy that book. Read Full Review
As a filler issue, it works, but it's almost exactly what you'd expect if you were given a short synopsis of the story. It's a tiny bit predictable, but at the same time, just what you would want to read. Hopefully, we will see a new more permanent creative team that can develop some more meaningful stories for the pair. Read Full Review
Elliot Kalan and Todd Nauck tell a surface-level Spider-Man/Deadpool story with some good, fun spreads including a robot dinosaur exploding and a daring water rescue. Unfortunately these qualities do not overcome the sense of aimlessness the series has taken since Joe Kelly and Ed McGuiness's departure, and suffers for it. Read Full Review
Spidey and Deadpool shutdown Murderworld Madripoor in a strictly by-the-numbers zany plot. It's certainly not memorable, but the proceedings are uplifted by a few quality gags and Todd Nauck's passionate art. Unlike, say, Adam Kubert on Spectacular Spider-Man, Mr. Nauck isn't going to phone it in just because you hand him a "meh" script. The result here is the *prettiest* forgettable funnybook you ever did see, and the visuals alone are responsible for pulling this up a bit above average.
