WLMD PART 1
• For decades, S.H.I.E.L.D. replaced its top fallen operatives with better-than-life robots, and pretty much everyone was cool with it.
• But WHAT IF there were something dangerous about super-powerful androids hiding in plain sight?
• Let's hope that no maniacs with grudges against SPIDER-MAN and DEADPOOL have that idea!
Rated T+
Chameleon's schemes roll slowly onward and hoover up guest-star Silk as they evolve. Deadpool serves solely as a medium-aware joke-delivery system. There are some good laughs to be had, but plot, humour, and visuals all land well below "must read" levels. I would not advise racing out to grab a copy just because Mr. Thompson has found an excuse to feature Silk; like a lot of Spider-Man/Deadpool issues, this one is better poached out of the bargain bin.

This is a pretty standard superhero fare -- lots of fighting, lots of pieces moving, but not a ton of character development or memorable moments. Read Full Review
This story is seriously dragged on and on. Art change isn't helping.
Chameleon tests his super-LMDs in Manhattan. Team Deadpool and Team Spidey (with added Silk!) run into each other while looking for the baddie. This title has a built-in disadvantage because it CAN'T do anything meaningful or transformative to its stars. At its best, it can reach fun destinations by concentrating on the Spideypool relationship or going flat-out for humor. This issue is a misfire because Spidey is doing the former and Wade is doing the latter. The Chameleon gets a lot of page time, but it's wasted on nonstop villain cliches. The art delivers an interesting blend of Chris Bachalo's anatomical style with much lighter linework. It's pretty enjoyable, but there's really no point where you can forget that it's a substitute for Mr more
