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.
A book is like the TARDIS. Open it up and it's bigger on the inside. One part reading journal, one part educational tool for pop culture newbies and parents of young geeks. This blog is your portal into the world of movies, TV, superheroes, and of course books!
