Spider-Man/Deadpool #9

Spider-Man/Deadpool, Issue #9 begins the "Itsy Bitsy" arc.  A group of loser, animal-themed villains called the Hateful Hexad is fighting Spider-Man and Deadpool.  Aside from an appearance at the end of the issue of a new bad girl, that's pretty much it.  Witty banter, action, the odd flashback here and there.

This is one of the good titles, one you should be reading.  Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness are a proven pair, and they're at the peak of their powers as a creative team in this title.  There's a fair amount of dialogue, which would weigh down a lesser title, but Joe Kelly makes it work.  Some of the highlights are the timing, the breaking of the fourth wall, and oh... did I mention it's Spider-Man and Deadpool?
