• The mean streets of New Jersey. The Savage Land. The Wide World of Personal Grooming (we hope).
• Spider-Man and Deadpool have taken their developmentally young LMD ward, Master Matrix, to wondrous places, but now their journey as a family is coming to an end.
• To whence from here, Master Matrix? Are you cured at last of your anti-human ideations? And can Spidey and DP's friendship survive empty-nester syndrome?
Rated T+
Funny, but over-plottedand lacking in action. Entertaining in patches but a disappointing end to the arc. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed how this issue handled the conflicting emotions between the characters. Spider-Man and Deadpool coming to grips with the consequences of their actions. Even if they were heroic they still resulted in some questionable results. Plus the way Matrix was trying to atone for the sins of his past and Mockingbird's understandable doubting of Matrix turning over a new leaf. This made for some three-dimensional characters and storytelling the likes of which you don't always see in comic books. Not a lot of action this time around but still an enjoyable read. *** (8.2 rating) Read Full Review
I'm hoping this run ends soon. I was thinking that with Master Matrix cleaning up everything from the last 20 issues or so, that we'd get a fresh start, with both of the new status quos for the characters being acknowledged. But instead, this is just marching along with its too-long story.
