Spider-Man/Deadpool: Isn't it Bromantic Review

Finished reading Spider-Man/Deadpool: Isn't it Bromantic, paring up what could arguably be two of Marvel's most popular characters as writer Joe Kelly tells more than just a simple team up story. The book opens to Spider-Man and Deadpool captured by Dormammu and his army of Mindless Ones due to Deadpool teleporting Spider-Man away for a battle with Hydro-Man who comes back to finish the fight when the two heroes find a way to escape Dormammu. After not being to initially to provide to Spider-Man that he what's to be a better person, Deadpool keeps teaming up with Spider-Man and even Spider-Man to see his daughter Ellie to prove why. Only for Deadpool to take a job to kill Peter Parker with the hope to find enough evidence on Spider-Man's "Employer" to make sure that Peter Parker is an evil person. Overall this was a great book as it brings together Deadpool and a reluctant Spider-Man on their own adventures as Deadpool hopes that spending time with Spider-Man will hopefully make him a better person which leads to some great interactions between the two especially when Wade's daughter, Ellie is brought into the story as it makes Spider-Man to eventually help him. There's an amazing amount of comedy weaved throughout the book thanks to the way Spider-Man and Deadpool interact with one another and the types of situations they find themselves in and how they get of them is extremely hilarious. The art by Ed McGuinness is great as it not only accompanies the story extremely well but also delivering on some great emotion and the action scenes are drawn greatly. While the rest of the art team on the inking and colouring help to breathe even more life into the book. 8.5/10.
