Mark McKenna pitches in on inks this issue as Justin Ponsor returns on colors. A lot more movin\u2019 and shakin\u2019 than usual during this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unusually Ditko Spidey head at the bottom there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, obviously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mojo, as you may know, is the head of an interdimensional television studio that kidnaps the X-Men every Thursday in the main comics, but Ultimate comics are far too \u201cgrounded\u201d for all that, so he\u2019s\u2026 Kingpin in a wig that would make sure he was never asked back to host Saturday Night Live. Well, anyway, our heroes are regrouping, having somehow escaped the baddies, and they can\u2019t find Cyclops. Deadpool is quickly developing a vendetta especially against Spider-Man for being an unexpected complication, presumably to justify this X-Men story happening in USM. Thus, when the Reavers do catch sight of our heroes again, it\u2019s Spider-Man who gets a huge laser blast from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bendis really loved \u201cYahtzee\u201d as an exclamation. We\u2019re running out of comic, so this story follows typical X-Men rules, and the team that couldn\u2019t get over on these bad guys for the last however many issues is suddenly trouncing them with ease. Deadpool is actually passed from X-Man to X-Man before being dumped in front of Spider-Man for some big punches, and eventually, for his mask to be removed for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What could possibly require this? \u201cThey had experiments done on them to make them strong enough to kill mutants.\u201d Ok\u2026 how does removing your face and some of your skull help? Pretty dopey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s fine, she can phase her & Spidey through the explosion. Well, that\u2019s it for ol\u2019 Wadey Wilson. He died as he lived: Kind of inexplicable and unsatisfying. Cyclops shows up and zaps the remaining Reavers and then the heroes rally and whup \u2018em as Augustus panics on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, look, Wadey lived somehow. Somehow! I forgot. Soon, Peter and Kitty are walking to his house. He\u2019s decided he has no choice but to tell May the truth. It\u2019s 4:30 in the morning, there\u2019s no talking his way out this time. Kitty says Jean or the Professor could just make her forget, but he doesn\u2019t like that. So he\u2019s screwed up his courage and he\u2019s gonna do it, and Kitty is going to stand by him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with that, this Deadpool story is finally over. It was only 4 issues, but it somehow took me almost a month to read. Have not had my head in the game lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
