Deadpool E Spider-Man:Non Chiamatelo Team-Up
Due straordinari personaggi che vanno alla grande quando sono da soli e sono ancora meglio se gustati insieme! Tanto che qualcuno ha pensato bene di creare una serie regolare con Spidey e Deadpool… e allora quale modo migliore per scoprire le origini del loro fantastico rapporto bromantico di questo? Grazie alla magia dei fumetti (e dei viaggi nel tempo), Wade Wilson veste i panni di un giovane Peter Parker! Poi il vostro amichevole Uomo Ragno di quartiere si allea con Deadpool ai tempi in cui l’antipatico Mercenario Chiacchierone se la spassava con Cable. L’amicizia sboccia durante gli scontri con Hit-Monkey e Hypno-Hustler, sperando che Otto Octavius non rovini tutto con le sue manie di superiorità! Ma il sogno di Deadpool sembra davvero realizzarsi quando, finalmente, lascia il suo costume per indossare quello rosso e blu di Spider-Man. Il meglio di Deadpool, il meglio di Spider-Man, il meglio del meglio! [Contiene: Deadpool (1997) #11, Cable & Deadpool #24, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #611, Deadpool (2008) #19-21, Avenging Spider-Man #12-13, Deadpool (2012) #10 e Deadpool Annual #2]

SPIDER-MAN!
DEADPOOL!
TEAM-UP?
Ok, yeah. This was worthwhile. If you've been digging around for a compilation of fun SpideyPool stories, then look no further. Now, none of these are connected, but they are all good. And, unless I'm very much mistaken, that's what we're all searching for when it comes to these comics.
Just as a little FYI: I thought that because this was labeled Vol. 0, it was connected to Spider-Man/Deadpool, Vol. 1: Isn't it Bromantic. But...? Um, it doesn't have anything to do with Bromantic, so don't bother reading this one first, thinking it's some sort of prequel to that story.
This is actually quite thick, but not surprising when you see all the issues they've crammed into it. Starting with a faux-retro story with Deadpool and his unwilling roomie getting tossed back in time to Peter's high school in the 60's (I think?). I personally loved the retro stuff, because it made me giggle, what with all the poking fun at Harry & Norman's brillo pad hair, MJ's ridiculous mannerisms, and Gwen Stacy's appealing...um, personality.
There's a Cable (with Spidey cameo) team-up that's pretty fun...especially considering it's a Cable team-up! Kidding, kidding.
Cable is a really cool character. <--dies laughing
But even if you're not into Nathan Dayspring Askani'son Summers, I'm sure there'll be something for you in this volume.
Hit Monkey?
Oh, come on! Who doesn't love Hit Money?! Or Hypno-Hustler?
Lady Stilt-Man, anyone?
No, stop! Come back! It's good stuff, I swear!
Don't Call It A Team-Up is something fun for casual & die-hard fans alike.
Read it!

This is the little buddy read that could.
Just sub out the creepy clown for the creepy, psycho head of a boar, kids, and climb on board for fun and if you’re good, you can toot the whistle...
First, Kelly and I chose it as a buddy read, but neither library had it yet.
Then, our libraries got it. She borrowed it, but I was 117th on a waiting list.
She had to return hers. Unread.
I finally got my copy, but someone had her copy out.
So one night, Mitchell and I donned our ninja gear and smothered the guy with his hypoallergenic pillow with the Star Wars R2D2 pillow case, stole the book back and she was finally able to read it too.
So can you tell us how the book is before the authorities come looking for you, because as every school kid knows, Mitchell doesn’t have to worry about fingerprints and he’s smart enough to not leave any DNA traces behind…
This is the 117th repackaging of Deadpool stuff Marvel has released in the past year, but it’s a good one. It’s all about Spider-Man and Deadpool getting together.
Yowsah on the hot dogs!!
Spider-Man is normally the quipster, but when teamed with Deadpool, he’s the Dutch boy superhero just trying to keep the dike from collapsing and being flooded by the craziness that is the ‘Pool.
Jeff, that is one weird-assed metaphor.
Shaddup and thanks!!
Collections like this just re-enforce the old adage (that I just made up) that not all Deadpool writers are equal and up to the task.
The Joe Kelly contributions are must reads for Deadpool fans and include one of the funniest comics I’ve ever read, in which Deadpool and Blind Al get sent back in time to a 1960’s Spider-Man comic. Deadpool can transform into Peter Parker and Blind Al impersonates that noted wheat cakes cooking hag, Aunt May.
Kelly’s Deadpool has an angry edge that most of the current punk-assed younger writers lack. Also, good is Fabian Nicieza’s Cable and Deadpool issue.
Of the rest, there’s a team-up with the Superior Spider-Man which is decent…
…a tangle with a murderous monkey and other assorted stories that aren’t terrible.
Bottom line: If you believe that Spider-Man/Deadpool together is like a chocolate/peanut butter combo, then this one’s for you. If on the other hand, it sounds like one of those horrid Lays potato chip flavors, pass it on by, Jack.

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/
Oh looky, it’s a nearly new volume with hardly any reviews. Luckily an expert likeme Mitchell is here to save the day. If you’ve been following the ongoing saga of Don’t Call It A Team-Up you are well aware of all the various first world problems surrounding this buddy read, mainly the fact that some mouth breathing P.O.S. ganked my copy off the hold shelf when my turn FINALLY came around making me go all . . .
And also delaying this damn thing again. Then real-life happened and it was further delayed. Many thanks to my pal Jeff for riding this debacle out with me. Who would’ve thought a ragey green giant could be oh-so-very-patient . . .
When I started this volume I had my fingers crossed for a very specific storyline . . . .
But Jeff informed me that it was my recently developed addiction to pornography talking and to get refocused. He also said the first issue in the collection was a real gem. Said story consisted of . . . .
Errrrr, I mean “The Watcher” observing what happens when Deadpool and Blind Al get sent back in time and the process which it takes for them to go back . . . .
I didn’t like this one. Because I am stupid. And also because it had sooooooooooooo many words. Ick . . . .
In case you aren’t aware, Mitchell and I are both geriatric eyeglass wearing mah fahs so comics or “graphic novels” are fairly difficult for us to see on a good day. Having the equivalent of a novel’s worth of writing smushed on 40-some pages made for a humdinger of a headache.
Things improved considerably with the “Whatever A Spider Can” chapters which featured a truly terrifying villain . . .
And “This Man, This [Expletive Deleted]” that opted to not focus on dick jokes, but went high brow with the humor instead . . .
As well as the “Avenging Spiderman” selections that had the duo battling a real jive turkey as well as channeling their inner Nelly in a story that was “only just a dreeeeeeaaaaaaam.” I also enjoyed “Eight Legs To Kick You” where Deadpool and Spiderman had to defeat the most evil creation that ever existed – the creepy businessman who is plotting to take over the world . . . .
*shudder*
He just may too, since he has the best guys. Guys like The Trapster and Lady Stilt Man. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn.
Anywho, it’s Deadpool and his bromance Spidey. You can’t really go wrong. And also, even though this was a collection of old stuff, I had only read one of the selections previously. Or at least I think . . . .
Duh.
An added bonus were the random variant covers contained throughout . . .
4 Stars!
Oh and also, because I can’t NOT post something Goldblumey in a Kelly/Mitchell/Jeff team-up, I’ll leave you all with the following question to ponder . . .
ORIGINAL "REVIEW":
Coming soon to a Goodreads near you (a/k/a as soon as it is published and we nab copies from our respective liburries). An unlikely duo read by an unlikely duo (meaning Jeff and myself - Mitchell somehow works well with everyone. Go figure.). What could possibly go wrong????

"SPIDER-MAN IS A CHAMPION AGAINST DUMB! . . . am I? Let's see - fat guy in a rhino outfit, old man with wings, variety of goblins, sand that is a person, water that is a person, octopus doctor . . . I AM A CHAMPION AGAINST DUMB!" -- Deadpool, intentionally impersonating Spider-Man while performing a roll call of ridiculous-seeming super-villains, in the finale 'Eight Legs to Kick You'
With a subtitle like Don't Call It a Team-up this volume is providing me too-easy ammunition on what other possible things to call it, such as Don't Waste Your Time or maybe Don't Expect a Great Set of Stories. With the exception of a few humorous moments - the appearances of silly villainess 'Lady Stilt Man' in two of the tales, and the entertaining closing adventure 'Eight Legs to Kick You' (in which an increasingly paranoid Spider-Man, being harassed by the identity-shifting malefactor Chameleon, requests Deadpool to be his proxy by briefly assuming his costumed identity) - this collection of seven standalone stories, culled from the various titles featuring either of those characters, was a unfortunate misfire for me. It seemed like there was often too little Spider-Man, and just an over-reliance on Deadpool, and said 'merc with a mouth' was not written particularly well (or as sharply funny as he sometimes can be) throughout the grating and lackluster storylines.

A mixed bag collection of all the team-ups between Spider-man and Deadpool. I think the Hit-Monkey and the Gerry Duggan stories work best.
January 2, 2019
Introduction:
Now, I personally had never picked up a “Deadpool” comic book before since at the time, I was not that interested in reading anything about “Deadpool” despite his huge popularity. It wasn’t until I watched the “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds that I started getting (a bit) interested in the character and I have been trying to figure out where I needed to start reading about “Deadpool” in the comics. So, yeah thanks “Deadpool” movie for getting me into the comics (a bit)! I had gotten several different recommendations from fellow readers and some have said that I should read either Joe Kelly’s run or Daniel Way’s run. Since neither run was really available to me at the moment, I had decided to read this collection of stories where Deadpool teams up with Spider-Man called “Spider-Man/Deadpool Volume 0: Don’t Call it a Team-Up” since I had been reading lots of “Spider-Man” comics before this and I must say that this collection was quite good!
What is this story about?
This is basically a collection of issues collected where Spider-Man and Deadpool teamed up with each other. So, here are the issues featured in this collection and my ratings for each one:
Deadpool (1997): Issue #11: ★★★★★
Written by: Joe Kelly
Artwork by: Pete Woods
When Deadpool and his prisoner Blind Al ended up going through time, they ended up in a timeline that takes place in the 47th issue of the 1960s “Amazing Spider-Man” series. In order to not to change the timeline, Deadpool and Blind Al have to masquerade as Peter Parker and Aunt May respectively. They also found out that the only way to get out of this timeline is to find a younger Weasel and convince him to build a time machine for them to go back into.
Cable and Deadpool: Issue #24: ★★1/2
Written by: Fabian Nicieza
Artwork by: Patrick Zircher
Cable and Deadpool are working together to obtain a secret project called “Cone of Silence” and Deadpool is sent out to provide a distraction towards Spider-Man so that the plan can go by smoothly.
Amazing Spider-Man: Issue #611: ★★ 1/2
Written by: Joe Kelly
Artwork by: Eric Canete
Deadpool and Spider-Man ended up getting into an insult match when they meet up with each other again, while a more sinister plan involving Madame Web is brewing in the background.
Deadpool (2008): Issues #19-21: ★★★★★
Written by: Daniel Way
Artwork by: Carlo Barberi
When a mysterious hit man (I am sorry, hit monkey) ends up killing various people in the city who have committed crimes, Spider-Man and Deadpool are forced to work together in order to take down this hit monkey once and for all!
Avenging Spider-Man: Issues #12-13: ★★★ 1/2
Written by: Kevin Shinick
Artwork by: Aaron Kuder
When Spider-Man ended up being trapped in his own dreams, it turns out that Deadpool had set him up by making him free his client the Hypno-Hustler from jail. The Hypno-Hustler then ends up making Spider-Man hallucinate in fighting his foes and it is not long before the Hypno-Hustler hypnotizes Deadpool too!
Deadpool (2012): Issue #10: ★★★
Written by: Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan
Artwork by: Mike Hawthorne
Deadpool ends up working with Spider-Man in order to take down Daniel Gump. But little does Deadpool know, Spider-Man’s body is currently being taken over by Doc Ock, after Peter Parker had “died” in the previous issues.
Deadpool Annual: Issue #2: ★★★★ 1/2
Written by: Christopher Hastings
Artwork by: Jacopo Camagni
When the Chameleon caused Spider-Man to hallucinate various innocent people into being the Chameleon, Deadpool ends up taking over Spider-man’s mantle in order to locate the Chameleon and save Peter from these hallucinations.
What I loved about this story:
The writing: I hit the jackpot in actually getting a collection of stories that features both Deadpool and Spider-Man. I have been trying to find a way to get into the “Deadpool” comics, whether it would be through one run or through a collection of issues that would help me determine which run I should spend my time reading. Well, I must say that I found some of the issues in this collection to be pretty entertaining! Some of my favorite issues in this volume (judging by the ratings that I gave for each issue) are “Deadpool (1997) Issue #11,” “Deadpool (2008) Issues #19-21,” and “Deadpool Annual Issue #2.” In “Deadpool (1997),” I loved the way that Joe Kelly wrote the time traveling story arc with Deadpool going back in time to the original 1960s “Amazing Spider-Man” run as I was laughing my head off with Deadpool acting like his crude self while dressing up as Peter Parker while insulting Peter’s friends (especially with him making fun of the Osborns’ hairstyles)! In “Deadpool (2008),” I loved the way that Daniel Way wrote both Deadpool and Spider-Man as it was entertaining seeing them work together to take down a hitman who happens to be a monkey! In “Deadpool Annual,” I loved the way that Christopher Hastings wrote this story as it was quite entertaining seeing Deadpool act like Spider-Man and seeing his enthusiasm at taking over the mantle while Spider-Man is knocked out. I was happy to see Deadpool and Spider-Man interact with each other since I always wanted to see how Spider-Man and Deadpool would act around each other. It was interesting seeing Spider-Man be the sane, straight man to Deadpool’s wacky wise guy as it made their relationship with each other much more entertaining!
The artwork: The artwork in this volume was quite creative and gorgeous to look at, especially the artwork done by Pete Woods, Carlo Barberi and Jacopo Camagni. I especially love the artwork in “Deadpool (1997)” as I loved the mixture of the modern artwork with the 1960’s artwork and it just made the story even funnier whenever we hear Deadpool’s crude comments clash with the family friendly 1960s artwork.
What made me feel uncomfortable about this story:
The reason why I gave this volume a four-star rating was because even though there were a couple of issues that I did enjoy in this collection, there were other issues that I did not enjoy as much and that brings the rating down a bit. I did not enjoy the “Cable and Deadpool” and the “Amazing Spider-Man” issues that much since they were pretty bland to me and there were some issues like “Deadpool (2012)” that were just okay.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, “Spider-Man / Deadpool Volume 0: Don’t Call It a Team-Up” is a great volume for anyone who is a huge fan of both Spider-Man and Deadpool and I would definitely give this volume a try!

With Spider-Man and Deadpool ranking as two of the quippiest characters in all of comics, it was probably only a matter of time until the two crossed paths (just don't call it a team-up!).
Collecting a dozen or so various issues, Spider-Man/Deadpool: Don't Call It A Team-Up has some good stories, so so-so stories, and one that is a great technical achievement but at fifty pages overstays its welcome.
Sending Deadpool back in time and having him inhabit the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #47 is an idea that should have a lot of fun. Between imitating the classic styling of John Romita to wholesale digitally inserting Deadpool and other characters from his universe into the original panels, there's a lot to admire from an artistic point of view. However, like too many Saturday Night Live skits, the story stays long after the joke has stopped being interesting or amusing. Running at close to 50 pages, I kept hoping this wasn't an indication of what was to come for the rest of this collection.
Luckily, it's not. The other stories are either single installments or self-contained arcs from a couple of issues that don't require much in the way of knowing the backstory to fully enjoy. As a relative new reader to the world of Deadpool (my limited exposure comes from the Ryan Reynolds film of the same name), this served as a nice point of entry. I'm not sure if or how much more of Deadpool I will pursue in the pages of Marvel Comics, but reading these stories, I can see the appeal of the character.
Most of these issues reinforce the idea that Spider-Man and Deadpool are two sides of the same coin. They're both quippy guys who dress up in predominantly red outfits and fight bad guys. The most interesting moments come from when their different moral codes come into conflict (Spidey won't kill, Deadpool has no qualms about doing so). One story finds Deadpool entering Spidey's subconsciousness to rescue him and is full of winks to the Spider-verse including multiple versions of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham in various Spider-Man costumes from across the years. I'm sure there are jokes aplenty like this for fans of Deadpool as well. They probably just sailed right past me and didn't lead me to enjoy the stories any more or less than I did.
I will admit that between the two movies (I've only seen the first as of this review) and what I read hear, I'm not averse to picking up a collection or two of other Deadpool stories in the future to find out more about the merc with a mouth. The problem with him (and just about every other damn Marvel character these days) is Marvel keeps rebooting the series, making it hard to know if this issue one in collection one is a good entry point or if I need to look for something farther back. But that's another issue for another day...

This was fun. This is the first Spider-Man/Deadpool I have read. This was labeled vol. 0 as it is various stories culled from different places. I enjoyed all the stories, and I am looking forward to reading the next batch of stories from the main series in the Modern Era Epic Collections Spider-Man/ Deadpool

A rather meh collection.
World: The art is all over the place cause it's a collection, there's 90s to 2000s art and they are what they are for their time. The Duggen stuff recent for me so I gravitated to that art. The world building, there is no world building cause this is a collection, there are tales that take place in that period of time with little context so the world is not the most important thing, it's just there.
Story: A mixed bag of interesting, slightly funny and really draggy and trying to hard comedy. I've always found that Deadpool is a book you have to read in spurts cause he gets annoying fast and the need for writers to keep him funny mostly results in everything but the kitchen sink and hoping some of it sticks type of comedy and yeah...most of it is not that good (reminds me of Quantum and Woody). There are some nice little stories here and some little segments of good banter but for the most part it does impart the feeling that most readers have of these characters (you feel sorry for sad Spidey...down on his luck, and you want to punch Wade really really hard in the face).
Characters: There is little development here cause it's a collection but for the most part the duo do have chemistry and the banter sometimes hits well. For the most part they are fun together and this collection does an okay job of showing that.
A mixed bag of meh here, but it did have some slight moments.
Onward to the next book!

This is the first Deadpool comic I've ever read...and I really didn't enjoy it. I know it was pulling together issues from a lot of other runs as a precursor to this new series...so I might give volume 1 a chance. But this one? Volume 0? I thought it was very boring and I wasn't able to get into it at all. Some of the art was good so I cant bring myself to give this 1 star...but that was really all it had going for it for me.

OH MY GOSH I LOVED THIS! THIS WAS HILARIOUS!
This is the team up I think about at night <3
Spider-man and Deadpool are bromance goals!
I do think it was annoying when the art styles and story were kind of inconsistent with each other. Some parts I loved more than others, but this is an overall masterpiece!
And this was only the prequel to the series, I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Classic Deadpool. Lol, The Mamagedon, Hilarious.

Collecting a whole bunch of issues in which spider-man and dead pool meet up from multiple series at multiple times is great to have before diving into the series, but....it is a little frustrating.
I haven’t read most of them before, so now I’m wandering about the whole spider-Woman being captured bit and I need to know only I’m not up to it!
I did LOVE the one in which Deadpool ends up back in time in an original Silver Age Spider-Man style adventure. Complete with classic villain Kraven the Hunter. Hilarious

I really enjoyed that specially towards the end. I didn't love the first two issues... They were a bit boring but after that where they acc started interacting and Deadpool was less of an asshole (still an asshole but less annoying) I started really getting into it
Deadpool (2008) #19-21 was probably were best issues in this collection by far and it's not only because Deadpool wore a maid dress with zero explanation 😂😂😂

The first story was the only one I didn't enjoy but after that they pick up. And I do like the slow-build to something like grudging respect.

Pretty good collection. Some issues were better than others.

It's always hard to rate compilations.
1) Deadpool (1997) #11 – 1 star
This was painful to read. The concept was good, and I recognise that they did a good job fitting Deadpool into the classic Spider-Man story art, but overall it was executed pretty poorly. The time travel "reason" made no sense, and the "villains" were utterly ridiculous.
2) Cable & Deadpool #24 – 2 stars
Nothing really happened, and I don't know why Spider-Man is such an asshole. I probably would have enjoyed this story more if I'd had context.
3) Amazing Spider-Man #611 – 2 stars
I have no context for this story either. Took off one star for the awful sidebar commentary by the author, weird "no homo" monologue, and completely pointless "yo mamma" fight. Added a star purely because of this sentence: "Citizens! It is time to be thrown violently to safety!"
4) Deadpool (2008) #19-21 – 2 stars
What would a spideypool teamup be without a monkey assassin? I'm not really a fan of the "dismissive asshole Spidey who throws Pool into bullets" thing, but the "words of wisdom" at the end were good, and I love seeing Deadpool rocking the dresses.
5) Avenging Spider-Man #12 – 3 stars
This was a good plot idea when it was 'Inception'. I did quite like the 'Time Warp' thing though.
6) Deadpool (2012) #10 – 3 stars
Ah yes, the (in)famous "I guess we go to different websites" comic. I can't hate this; it's ridiculous in a great way.
7) Deadpool Annual #2 – 4 stars
This is my favourite of the bunch: the one where Deadpool covers for Spider-Man and actually does a great job. I like the art style, and the banter is on point. "Why are you purse-snatching in NYC?! This is the super hero capital of the world!" "Actually, there's a rule of averages. I've been able to snatch seven purses for every one super hero sighting"
Total rating: 17 / 7 = 2.5 stars

This isn't a cohesive volume with one storyline - and I knew that going in so it wasn't a problem while I was reading. Rather, this is a collection of previously published episodes giving insight into the past history that Deadpool and Spider-Man have with each other.
As with any such collection, the quality of the art and writing varied between issues. The story which starts the volume felt dated in terms of both art and writing. It contained some of the less entertaining, more problematic aspects of Deadpool's character. However, it also had some legitimately entertaining aspects as well. And even with varying writers and artists, this was a consistently entertaining read.
The strange relationship that Deadpool and Spider-Man have had is always interesting. There are times - hit monkey and a giant, freaky mouse villain - that the stories included here branch into more absurd goings-on, but the wit, humor, and excitement keep things engaging through the insane and the serious.
Overall, it's a mixed but generally positive volume that provides more of a backstory overview of the two characters' interactions rather than telling a story of its own. That being said, it's easy enough to pick up as a stand-alone as there isn't a ton backstory necessary to understand the episodes contained here.

spiderman a deadpool sú najobľúbenejší marvel hrdinovia. mohol by som dať 10☆ ale nemôžem. škoda
July 2, 2018
I appreciate that this compilation exists, as it makes it easier to track their blossoming bromance, but the quality varies a lot.
Deadpool (1997) #11: Why the hell did “everyone” on Goodreads like this? It’s depressingly unfunny, too wordy for a comic book, the jokes are unoriginal, stale and sexist, MJ and Gwen both act like caricatures of attractive girls, the art (or is it the coloring?) is bad, and it’s just way too long. Possibly the worst Marvel comic I’ve read. 1/5
Cable & Deadpool #24: Just a short snippet from a larger story arc that I haven’t read, so it doesn’t stand well on its own, but it’s alright. Moderately funny. 2/5
Amazing Spider-Man #611: Making Deadpool assert his nonexistent heterosexuality every time he interacts with Spidey really detracts from the flirty jokes (why are you trying so hard to appeal to homophobes, anyway?), but other than that, this one was okay. “Yo mama” jokes are pretty outdated, but it somehow works in this context. A somewhat memorable (second) meet cute. 3/5
Deadpool (2008) #19-21: I own this, so I’d already read it a few years ago. Still funny. It’s silly, and Deadpool seems a tad bit more stupid and clueless than usual, while Spidey is a bit more serious and rough, but as long as it makes me chuckle and Spideypool grow closer, who cares? 4/5
Avenging Spider-Man #12-13: Not a great plot, but I thought it was sorta cute and had some good jokes. Crossdressing Deadpool is always a plus. I appreciated the Rocky Horror reference. And the awkward, acne-ridden high schoolers telling (horribly disfigured) DP that they also see the “face of hell” every time they look in the mirror really spoke to me. Too real. 3,5/4
Deadpool (2012) #10: I own this, too, and of course it works better in Soul Hunter because you have the context. Still, it’s pretty good. Deadpool is being his usual flirty, fanboyish self while Spider-Man is possessed by the overly serious Doc Ock, who uses weird, Shakespearean insults like “knave”, yet Deadpool doesn’t seem to catch on. Lady Stilt-Man is as ridiculous as ever. Fun. 4/5
Deadpool Annual #2: This was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s genuinely sweet! Deadpool dons Spidey’s costume in order to let him rest and get a break from the constant threat of the Chameleon. He somehow succeeds admirably at heroing, and by the end Spidey thanks him and they both agree that they are “amazing friends”. D’aww. (But why does DP look like a noseless, nearly fleshless skull at the end when he just looks “normal”, but scarred in the first maskless panels? Eh, whatever.) 4/5
To summarize: Their relationship gets progressively less antagonistic as DP becomes more of a good guy and Spidey gradually warms up to him, DP becomes flirtier, more of an unapologetic Spider-Man fanboy and less “no homo” with time (thank god), and the crossdressing gets more frequent. Good.
In retrospect, I think I should’ve just bought Amazing Spider-Man #611, Avenging Spider-Man #12 and Deadpool Annual #2 separately and perhaps saved some money, because the other issues were either bad/pointless or already owned and read. Oh well.

A 3.5 star collection of issues with Deadpool and Spidy teaming up (sometimes) together (and sometimes against each other).
Any collection is a mixed bag. Some issues are great, some issues less than great. Collections are especially hard to read if you like fully-formed stories (with a beginning, middle, and end), as I do.
I've individually rated the issues in the collection below, which adds up to the volume's overall 3.5 star rating.
P.s. This does not need to be read before Spider-Man/Deadpool, Vol. 1: Isn't it Bromantic...
Deadpool #11
1997, by Joe Kelly
Deadpool gets transported back in time into a Vintage Spider-Man comic. Rating: 2 stars since it was pretty yawn-y.
Cable & Deadpool #24
by Fabian Nicieza
Peter Parker and Spidy both make a guest appearance in this short issue. 3 stars for being cute.
Amazing Spider-Man #611
by Joe Kelly
Deadpool and Spidy fight/Deadpool is paid to distract Spidy for an hour while sinister things are at play (seemingly?). 2 stars for the art and the yo mama jokes.
Deadpool #19-21
2008, by Daniel Way
*5 stars because Hit-Monkey!* This was a great story (fleshed out because it was 3 issues) with a fun Spidy/Deadpool team-up. The two page dream of Spidy letting Hit-Monkey kill Deadpool was hilarious, as was the rest of the story. This is a perfect example of what we want in our Spider-Man and Deadpool bromance...Some good jokes, good action, and a lot of feet dragging to team-up.
Avenging Spider-Man #12-13
by Kevin Shinick
B Grade Villains (or C Grade?) & brainwashing. The story was OK; didn't like the art. 3 stars.
Deadpool #10
2012 by Brian Posehn & Gerry Duggan
Unwilling team-up between Deadpool and Superior Spider-Man (i.e. Doc Oc). A snippet of a story; gets 3 stars.
Deadpool Annual #2
by Christopher Hastings
*5 stars.* Very cute one off of Deadpool helping his "amazing friend" Spider-Man against the creepy Chameleon. This was a fully formed short story. Fun!

Whatever you do, don't call this volume a team-up book!
Published in 2016, this Marvel trade was released in anticipation of the Deadpool/Spider-Man series. This book collected the earliest stories to feature Deadpool making life hell for Spidey. Again, not a treasury of team-ups but it is a bunch of crazy crossovers.
My favorite story has the Merc with a Mouth and his geriatric pal Al traveling back in time to Peter Parker's high school days. In this adventure Deadpool and Al interact with Peter's friends and foes a la Forrest Gump in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #47- originally published way back in the swinging 60s!
Another great story in this edition is from the pages of Superior Spider-Man. During this time, Doctor Octopus had taken over Peter Parker's body. So when Wade crosses paths with this grittier web slinger, the mutant soldier of Fortune knows that something isn't right. Featuring a Donald Trump-like villain years before he was a political entity, it's an interesting look at Marvel's dislike of The Donald.
I loved every story in this collection. It was a fun read that had me laughing a lot! If you live near an Ollie's you might still be able to find a copy for a fraction of the original cover price!
A must for fans of Spider-Man, Deadpool and the insane characters of the Marvel Universe.

Educational Exponential Buildup , Worth The $20 Backlog
The cool thing about putting together a collection is that the writers can tie up old loose ends and plant new Easter eggs! The jokes are both outdated and relevant. In my opinion the issue #611 of amazing spider man (took me a long time to realize that just because the series started in the 60s doesn’t mean the issue is from the 60s) was some just terrible animation. But thankfully this is a compiled volume 0, and that means that we get to see a few different artists and writers throw down what they think the duo should look like. If you are reading isn’t it bromantic and are wondering if this is worth your $20 to go back and read-it is. And this is coming from a cheap bastard like myself. You get each comic for less than $2 when you add it up. I don’t wanna spoil anything but the writers very creatively gave our Weasel some backstory

Deadpool is a very hit or miss character for me. Sometimes he can be written extremely well with a lot of depth and layers to his character, and sometimes he is just absolutely cringe. This collection of crossovers between Spider-Man and Deadpool is a VERY mixed bag because of this. Some stories are funny and some are very much NOT. It also doesn't help that many of these are single issues in the middle of large ongoing runs and several plot elements feel very disconnected as a result. Unless you want to experience literally every time Spider-Man and Deadpool have met, this Volume can be easily skipped and you can just jump to Volume 1.
Also side note I cannot believe Hit Monkey got a fucking TV show what in the hell HOW

This is a brief history of some of the screwball team-ups that have lead to the Spider-Man/Deadpool phenomena. It is ridiculous, fun, and very occasionally serious. An early favorite involves Deadpool going back in time to Petey's college years back in 1960/1970 with little to no explanation of how they're in the same continuity as adults later. Some of these involve broader concepts, like the time Cable was basically morally ambiguous Oracle, which was a little distracting because I have never been a deep student of Marvel continuity.
That said, this book is a lot of fun. I highly recommend it for Deadpool fans.
