Whatever you do, don't call this volume a team-up book!
Published in 2016, this Marvel trade was released in anticipation of the Deadpool/Spider-Man series. This book collected the earliest stories to feature Deadpool making life hell for Spidey. Again, not a treasury of team-ups but it is a bunch of crazy crossovers.
My favorite story has the Merc with a Mouth and his geriatric pal Al traveling back in time to Peter Parker's high school days. In this adventure Deadpool and Al interact with Peter's friends and foes a la Forrest Gump in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #47- originally published way back in the swinging 60s!
Another great story in this edition is from the pages of Superior Spider-Man. During this time, Doctor Octopus had taken over Peter Parker's body. So when Wade crosses paths with this grittier web slinger, the mutant soldier of Fortune knows that something isn't right. Featuring a Donald Trump-like villain years before he was a political entity, it's an interesting look at Marvel's dislike of The Donald.
I loved every story in this collection. It was a fun read that had me laughing a lot! If you live near an Ollie's you might still be able to find a copy for a fraction of the original cover price!
A must for fans of Spider-Man, Deadpool and the insane characters of the Marvel Universe.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
