Spider-Man/Deadpool, Issue #5 finishes, apparently, the "Isn't it Bromantic?" storyline. In Issue #4, Deadpool murders Peter Parker, not knowing that Parker was Spider-Man's alter-ego. In Issue #5, Deadpool goes to hell, literally, to see Peter Parker suffering unending torment. The problem? He's not there. What follows is a search and a battle through limbo, heaven, and hell. Deadpool realizes that he killed the wrong person, and he goes to extraordinary lengths to get Peter Parker back among the living.
I'm not big on the afterlife. I don't think it's real. Of course I understand what heaven, hell, and limbo are, but I think the whole idea is silly. You die, and that's it. That biased me a little bit against this issue, which is well done and clever, setting up future issues. Of course, we know that Peter Parker can't die, but the way writer Joe Kelly and artist Ed McGuinness brought him back was unique and fun.
