This was pretty cute, and I thought there were lots of great panels, jokes, etc..
So, I'm not really sure why I didn't just go crazy for it. I almost want to say that it was too long, if that makes any sense? Weird, right? It's not like some sort of War an Peace sized comic book, but the story sort of dragged for me, and it ended up taking me about 3 days to finish it.
Maybe I was in the wrong mood for a Deapool/Spidey team-up?
Sacrilege!
Ok. The story goes like this:
Deadpool has been hired to kill Peter Parker by some nefarious unnamed person. Of course, now that Deadpool is one of the good guys, he's only agreed to do it because the above mentioned nefarious unnamed person has convinced him that Parker is an evil scientist.
But to get to Parker, DP has to get past his bodyguard, Spider-man. And, of course, he's always had a bro-crush (or maybe just a regular crush) on Spidey.
To make matters worse, after years of fruitless friend requests, Wade finally has the first tentatively positive response from his hero.
So now he's got to somehow kill Peter without f-ing up his new friendship.
Naturally, that won't end well.
There were a ton of funny moments, and the story was surprisingly coherent.
Yeah. sigh
I don't know why it took me so long to finish this one, but I'm interested in seeing where the story is going so I'll be coming back for the next volume.

With the creative team that originally put Deadpool on the map, I expected a lot more than this weak humoured, poorly plotted, but well drawn bro-snooze! I read the comic books Spider-Man Deadpool #1-5 and #8. A Paltry Two Star, 5.5 out of 12 read.

Deadpool wants Spider-Man to help him assassinate Peter Parker – oh Deadpool you silly goose!
Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness reunite after nearly 20 years since their first Deadpool comic together in ’97 with Spider-Man/Deadpool. Unfortunately it’s not nearly as fun as I’d hoped.
The story is a flimsy excuse to get Marvel’s two most popular characters together and “quipping” at one another, which is actually what most of the book is, rather than have them appear in an entertaining, involving narrative.
The calibre of the material obviously depends on the writer and Joe Kelly proves he just isn’t that funny. The comic reads like a bad open mic night where two irritating morons are trying to one-up the other with who can do the cringiest comedy. Both characters are known for their incessant “jokes” and together they create a constant barrage of the lamest humour against the reader that gets tiring very quickly.
There’s really nothing else to say about this one. Deadpool winds Spider-Man up (hoho, usually it’s Spidey doing that to whoever he’s teamed up with), they fight villains, bad jokes abound, and that’s it. I didn’t laugh once and was bored almost immediately from the beginning to the end.
Ed McGuinness’ art is brilliant but it’s little consolation for Joe Kelly’s laboriously overwritten and exhausting script. Maybe readers who enjoy Big Bang Theory/Adam Sandler-type comedy will be holding their sides reading this but I found Spider-Man/Deadpool to be disappointingly torturous!

Having Marvel's 2 wisecracking characters team-up makes complete sense. The story here was really flimsy and the constant barrage of terrible jokes wore thin quickly. Having Joe Kelly come back and write Deadpool just made me appreciate Gerry Duggan all the more. He's a lot more capable of toeing the line between jokes and a coherent story. There was still some great moments like the dance scene at the bar, but there were several story problems (like Miles Morales up and disappearing mid-story or just using Mysterio as a plot device to sweep story mistakes under the rug).
Ed McGuiness's art is always welcome, but I felt his crisp, clean art was often overshadowed by too many coloring effects.

Just one of the best Spidey's stories I've read since years, some parts made me laugh to tears and now I really wanna read Kelly's classic Deadpool run (shame on me for still not doing that).

I really enjoyed this! I adore the writing style and the art is lovely, as well!
I love it when writers don't use Deadpool solely as comic relief. He has depth and a pretty awful history and it sucks to see writers ignore that. That being said, Joe Kelly joins Duggan amongst the group of writers I love for writing Wade in a compelling way. He has a wife and daughter now and he's trying to be a better man. Kelly not only writes that in a believable way but he took the concept of Wade wanting to befriend Spidey and made that believable, too. It's not just used for humor, we really get a feel for why Wade is so determined.
He thinks Spidey's is pure and naive and he likes that. He even wants to protect that part of him as we see in issue 8.
Long story short, I adore Wade in this book.
I like Spidey but I know absolutely nothing about the changes to his history. I'm not sure when he became rich or when he started a tech company. I don't know who this Anna Maria person is either but I like her. Peter doesn't get a ton of backstory in this book. I really like Spidey, though. I feel like you get quite a bit of his personality in this book, especially in issues 3 and 8.
I really enjoyed the scene in the club and the scene where they take on Patient Zero. I can't wait to see how this series progresses from here!
5 stars.

[Read as single issues]
Not sure what issues this is actually going to collect yet. #1-5, and #8 are the first six part story, but #1-6 is the standard trade for Marvel, so god knows what they'll do with this one.
Joe Kelly + Ed McGuinness is a recipe for success, but there's an overabundance of dialogue in some of the issues here that detracts from things, so the flow of the story isn't quite as good as it could be. There are some great sequences, anything with Deadpool and Shiklah or Spidey and Deadpool unchained (like the dance sequence, which is genius), are awesome, but there's a lot of transitory stuff that doesn't land quite as well.
McGuinness' art can't be faulted though; he's a big bombastic superhero artist, and it's nice to see him drawing something that isn't Hulks for a change.
If this does collect #1-6, then issue #6 is a fill-in issue that sees Deadpool and Spidey go to Hollywood and try to make a movie, which goes about as well as you'd expect. Art by Reilly Brown, who's a Deadpool veteran, and story by one of the Comedy Bang Bang writers (which means nothing to me, but there you go), it's a fun little story but nothing to write home about.
I think we'll go with the reliable 'Solid, but not quite as special as it could be' response for this one.

Spider-Man/Deadpool, Volume 1: Isn't it Bromantic is by far my favourite Marvel Comic read to date! It's entertaining, crude and FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!
Our story follows Spider-Man and Deadpool, with two unlikely allies pushed into the one comic. Spider-Man is trying to save everybody while Deadpool interrupts at every turn convinced he can show Spider-Man that he's a good guy. However, Deadpool has a job to do, and that is to kill Peter Parker.
Artwork
I really loved the artwork and illustrations within Spider-Man/Deadpool! It was bright, detailed, and did a great job complementing the dialogue.
Plot
The plot, although all over the place, was funny, entertaining, and didn't take itself too seriously. The plot took place in the real world, but jumped around unexpectedly which is where I started getting slightly confused, which is why I had to knock off half a star.
Characters
My favourite part of the comic of course was the characters. What I love about adding these two characters together is their dynamic, the witty banter was beyond any comic I have ever read, and I loved the fact that even though their characters are so different, they make for such an entertaining read. The characters really brought the story up in my eyes, and I was able to look past some of the plot issues because I was so invested in the characters.
I like Spider-Man and Deadpools bromance, and I definitely will be reading more of this series IMMEDIATELY!
Overall
Spider-Man/Deadpool, Volume 1: Isn't it Bromantic was a fantastic comic book read that was a fun, enjoyable ride. The characters didn't need any cameos, as they were entertaining enough on their own and I couldn't get enough of it!

This was my first Marvel comic, and I think I need a minute to get really familiar with this storytelling to enjoy it more. I'll probably read the future volumes of this though.
March 18, 2018
I can't say I would recommend this on the basis of the story - although in issue# 5 things start to get deadly serious for Peter Parker. No, the real reason would be for the almost non-stop witty or just plain smart-ass banter between our titular characters. Deadpool of course runs his mouth and Spider-Man usually (but not always) plays the straight man to him, and when they get into certain contrived situations - like a double-date gone haywire at club HellHouse (?!), among others - their dialogue pretty much drives the book. It has the kind of lines, like the 'safe words' quip which will be stuck in my head a looooong time, you may want to quote to co-workers who share a similar sense of humor.

While this wasn't the best story I've ever read or anything, I have to say that it is SO GOOD to have Joe Kelly writing Deadpool again. It was Kelly's run on Deadpool that first made me love the character so, for me, Kelly's Deadpool is definitive.
He also writes a pretty good Spidey, which is nice... especially at the moment. The Spidey in this book feels so much more like the Spidey I know and love than the version in his own book.
It wasn't all great, mind you; issue two's pacing was all over the shop and Miles Morales just disappeared partway through the issue with no explanation, which was both weird and jarring. Still, overall, I'm really enjoying this book.
Oh, and Ed McGuinness' artwork was great, as usual. I can't believe I nearly forgot to mention him. Sorry, Ed!

Perfectly fun! This team-up has it all! Great writing. Witty banter. Boner jokes...
An earnest Deadpool & an angry Spidy = perfection.
I feel like the internet has been jonesing for this Spidy/Deadpool bromance storyline for a while now, and I'm happy to say this delivered.
It was a little wordy at times (as all Deadpool & Spider-Man comics can be, respectively), but just when you think the story has gone off the deep-end (the Bolivia team up), Deadpool reminds you that he's as crafty as Spider-Man is an easy sucker (though I love him so). 10 points for manipulation. Well done, Mr. Pool.
Isn't it Bromantic jems (just for the giggles):
The only thing I totally didn't get at all was the Amazing & Ultimate Spider-Man Crossover. Peter & Miles are together in the beginning of the volume. When does that happen?
Otherwise, 4.5 stars!

Silly. Fun. Doesn't take itself seriously until it does, and then we're given another chance to see Deadpool struggle with the one organ that never seemed to heal: his conscience.
I like Joe Kelly Deadpool, and he's got an ear for Spidey too.

Having never liked Spiderman much, I enjoyed how Deadpool got on his nerves. I'm so happy with the humor and the fact that most of the art is done by the same team.

There are glimpses of humor and the story is fun, but it went a little off the rails, even for a Deadpool story.
Basically Deadpool is simultaneous trying to kill Peter Parker while becoming best friends with Spidey, hilarity ensues (sort of). Seeing these two together is always fun and the story setup had me excited. But then Lady Thor landed out of nowhere...I cannot escape her!
She showed up, it was pointless, there was some unfunny joke about mud wrestling, and then Spidey and Deadpool were dancing in their underwear because...patriarchy...

Both Spider-Man and Deadpool are known for their snappy banter, but it is Deadpool’s endless musings that get really raunchy. That’s why he’s known as the merc with a mouth and he has an obvious crush on the webbed wonder. The book starts out with the two entwined in villain Dormammu’s grasp, but of course the two escape after much verbal sparring.
Spider-Man is up to here with Deadpool’s shenanigans, but Deadpool is trying valiantly to impress him and has turned over a new leaf (kind of) since he is now supposedly on the Avenger’s team. However, he’s still a mercenary at heart and isn’t above accepting a kill contract on Peter Parker by another mysterious villain, as he has been tricked into thinking Parker is evil and deserves to die. Deadpool justifies the contract, not understanding that he has sentenced Spider-Man to die if he goes through with the killing of Spidey’s alter ego.
In the meantime, Spider-Man and Deadpool have crazy bromantic adventures together, with Spidey softening towards Deadpool. A funny dance-off between the two men ensues after Lady Thor and a cousin of Deadpool’s wife battle, and the women decide the men must dance for their pleasure to end the fight. During another segment, we are introduced to Deadpool’s daughter, and while I wanted more backstory on that, that want will push me to read more stories about her origin and their daddy/daughter relationship.
But hanging over all this is knowing that Deadpool is planning on killing Peter Parker. While I do want to avoid spoiling what happens, let’s just say nothing goes smoothly for these two heroes to establish a bromance. Knowing that Deadpool’s wife is Shiklah, Queen of the Undead, might give you some clues as to what happens next, but you didn’t hear it from me…
Is the book’s tagline “hijinks and hilarity ensue!” true? Definitely yes! Did the story always make sense? Definitely not! Taken in small doses, I think the dysfunctional “friendship” between these two men is hilarious. I loved the Deadpool movie, and I like the new movie Avenger’s Spider-Man, but in the movies, the age difference would stand in the way of a bromance. So it’s in print form that their team-ups should continue, for they just make such a cute couple!

Spideypool was actually pretty good. It was funny, light hearted, and different from all the regular comics.
Especially loved the Deadpool movie issue...
So basically, Deadpool wants Spiderman to see he's changed. So he goes on, hilariously trying to get Spidey to see his good side.
However, someone gives Deadpool a job.
Kill Peter Parker.
Of course, Deadpool doesn't know that Pete is Spidey. And this client sends him fake proof that Parker is a bad man. So of course, Deadpool decides to kill Peter... By becoming friends with Spiderman.
Problem is, his plan works all too well...

I remember this being funnier when I read this story in single issues.
Maybe putting the two most long winded talky talk talk characters in the same book is a bit much, It sure made for a long read. There was also a real lack of the funny quips. Anyway the art is great. The story is a bit uninteresting, it somehow managed to be just another typical Spider-Man story.

This was my first experience with Deadpool in the comic world and I was a little bit worried I would get annoyed with him pretty quickly. Thankfully, that never happened!
I really enjoyed watching Spider-man and Deadpool play off of one another with one quip after another.
The storyline of Deadpool attempting to murder Peter Parker, while also following Spider-man around like a little puppy dog wanting attention was hilarious and kept me reading.
I will definitely be picking up another from this series asap.

Well that was surprisingly really fun.
I much prefer puns and slightly intellectual jokes to Deadpool's brand of risque humor, but this one made me snicker to myself a lot.
The story follows Deadpool in his attempts to befriend Spiderman, who quit the Avengers for some vague reason I don't get. Of course, since this is Deadpool, his ulterior motives have ulterior motives, so things are fairly complicated.
Ok, it isn't that complicated. Wade has been assigned a hit on Peter Parker and Spidey is his way in. Shenanigans ensue. For the first two and half issues, it's a riot.
Spoilery bit: I loved it when DP kills Peter shortly after Shiklah resurrects him - "it's like turning a light off and on and off again!"
Then somewhere the story got a tad weird, which considering that this is a story with this panel...
...is saying something. Like there was a glass house and Spidey had a black suit and Deadpool has smooth skin now? What?
Someone explain it to me! Was the price of Peter's soul DP's healing ability?
Anyway it ends waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too abruptly for my taste. If someone has read the second volume and thinks it's worthwhile, do tell me.
Yeah, in summary, really fun, even considering the chopped ending.

Laughing from page one and despite the confusion I'll talk about shortly, I didn't continue to laugh out loud throughout the journey of volume 1.
I did get rather confused thrown into all the action and thought it was because I hadn't searched for and read Vol. 0, but we got a flashback that kind of cleared some of it up but I was still confused in regards to the spiderman industries and all that. And why did I not know what BAMFing is? That confused me for ages.
The illustrations too were a little too overwhelming, but I still appreciated the detail and design and spent a bit of time taking it all in.
I enjoyed the last issue of this vol. a lot (#8). That was definitely my favourite and the part of the plot that made the most sense and came together for me.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<

The final item of my Deadpool birthday goodies (that I’ve been stringing out since May), pretty much every moment of this was an absolute blast, so much so that I’ve already put the remaining volumes on my Christmas wishlist.
In Volume 1: Isn’t It Bromantic, we find Deadpool wooing Spiderman in the hopes of them becoming BFFs. There’s nothing he won’t do to win Spidey over, including tricking Thor into a double-date (resulting in a Ladies Night to remember at the Hellhouse club), but there’s a pretty big obstacle in his way – he’s also been contracted to kill Peter Parker, CEO of Parker Industries and a dude that Deadpool is pretty certain is a megalomaniacal asshole, a move that is sure to sour his budding friendship with Spidey.
Featuring more than just the original Spiderman but Miles Morales too, as well as the aforementioned Thor, Deadpool’s Mercs for Money and more, this is a thoroughly enjoyable team-up of two of my favourite Marvel characters. Even though I haven’t exactly following the various storylines that have led up to this (I had no memory of Deadpool being married to the Queen of the Damned, for example, although it’s entirely possible that I had known and since forgotten now that I’m middle-aged), it was pretty easy to pick up along the way and, even though it was pretty much a slam-dunk that I’d enjoy it, it turned out to be even more fun than I imagined.
Christmas and the remaining volumes now can’t come soon enough.

Actual Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
OH MY GOSH IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER! This premise made everything so crazy!
It was so frustrating because you have that feeling of wanting Deadpool to know that Spider-man IS Peter Parker, but at the same time you don't want him to because he's Spider-man, and it's literally a part of his character to not share his secret identity. IT WAS FRUSTRATING BUT SO GOOD!
I think the only issue that lacked for me was the last one, so that's why I took away half a star. Everything else about it was awesome! The dialogue was hilarious and both the art-style and colouring were consistent and on point!
This series is great so far!
