Spider-Man/Deadpool #2

Spiderman/Deadpool, Issue #2 sees Peter Parker, now a wealthy industrialist, being targeted for assassination by Spider-Man's newest friend, Deadpool.  Deadpool obviously does not know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, and I must admit to being at a loss.  I'm not a Marvel guy, but I do read Spider-Man from time to time.  Peter Parker got outed as Spider-Man in the "Civil War" storyline, he died in the Ultimate Spider-Man storyline, and somehow in this storyline, he's rich.  Oh, well.  Like when Homer was Poochy, he'll just say, "the wizard did it."

One of the things I love about lucha libre is how a masked man (or woman) can show so many different emotions.  It takes skill from the mask-makers and the mask-wearers.  Most of Spider-Man/Deadpool issue #2 features two or three men in masks in a variety of extreme situations, and the artists, Ed McGuinness (pencils), Mark Morales (inks), and Jason Keith (colors), all work together to make the two/three superheroes extremely expressive.  VC's Joe Sabino letters both Spider-Man and Deadpool the same way, although Deadpool gets a yellow background, so you don't mix them up.

The story itself, "Isn't it Bromantic," is progressing.  Joe Kelly is very familiar with both Spider-Man and Deadpool, having written for both their titles, and it shows.  The idea to pair them off is a novel one, as they've become friends, but secretly one is trying to kill the other.  I think this title could be the subject of a major movie if it's done right, perhaps some time in 2018 or 2019, as a Deadpool sequel will probably come first.
