• Master Matrix might be the most powerful android on Earth, but it's a total amateur at personhood.
• Who better to teach it how to be a human being than SPIDER-MAN and DEADPOOL?!
• It's "My Two Super-Dads"! Aren't the best parents always trying to settle old grudges through their children?
Rated T+
I loved this issue. I was sold by the fifth panel. It's a Deadpool comic, so the plot and the ideas are secondary. What is important is the humor and in this book, it's not just the one-liners but the art too. Read Full Review
Portraying the two superheroes as feuding parents is a fun twist, one that further subverts their relationship and sets up more shenanigans in future issues. Read Full Review
Deadpool and Spidey have devoted a shocking amount of time to "raising" Master Matrix, but this issue breaks them out of their SHIELD safehouse and subjects the robot to real-world heroing. Decent art and decent humor, but this issue holds firm to the title's standard roles for its protagonists. Wade is the wackiness generator and Pete is the "quit having fun" wet blanket. It's starting to stagnate, and it's a particularly poor use of Spider-Man.
This issue also offers a unique form of disappointment: Mockingbird announces she's off to fight monsters in an urban salt mine with Husk, Silk, and the SS Deadpool crew. That sounds WAY more interesting than Wade grinding his way through every possible "my two dads" joke with Pete and more
