Spider-Man and Deadpool double-date. Deadpool brings a succubus for Spider-man to date and manages to trick the new Thor into showing up as his...date? Also, Deadpool also finally gets around to doing something he's been meaning to do since issue one.
This issue is a bit more low key than the first three that came before it; there are no punch-ups, for one thing, and I have to say I didn't particularly care for it, much, either, as it basically involves Spider-Man being somehow complicit in a rather sleazy, sexist trick Deadpool pulls on the aforementioned succubus and Thor. It backfires and is supposed to be played for laughs, but for me the jokes, including one in which Spider-man uses an image modifier to pose as a black man named Leonardo diCaprio (seriously), fell flat.
McGuinness shines as always but Kelly's joke that's basically stretched out over an entire issue really didn't work for me. Anyway, the cliffhanger (and the series' general standard of quality) will ensure that I'll be back for the next issue.
6.5/10
