Spider-Man/Deadpool, Volume 2: Side Pieces

One of the highlights of the numerous Gerry Duggan Deadpool series are the one-two issue interludes. These stories are often untold tales that imagine what it would be like if the Merc With a Mouth was around during the 50s, 60s and 70s. 

This volume of Spider-Man/Deadpool highlights such breaks in that team-up series. In these tales, Deadpool and magician Teller trade places in a hilarious romp by Penn Gillette. Then in a two-parter, Deadpool is hired to be the stunt adviser for his own superhero flick! Lastly, in a story set during the Monsters Unleashed storyline, a coven of teenage witches kidnap Spidey in hopes of making him the vessel of their fallen mistress. 

There's also a Christmas issue. But I held off on reading it. I own that individual issue but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Don't worry, it will be a part of my holiday, 2019 reading list. But man was it difficult to hold off. 

A fun read that is less preachy and offensive than the regular main series. It helped restore my faith in this series. But I also understand that these yarns were the exceptions and not the rule of how Spider-Man/Deadpool is being regularly presented. 

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
