Victor Von Doom
Fist of teh Internets.
Congrats Bendis.....this wasn't Hobgoblin or Carnage bad.....but it wasn't Learning Curve either.
Quick synopsis:
So we pick up were we left off in the last issue. Deadpool has just been unmasked and revealed to be Professor X.
Of course everyone is confused and a little relieved--except Spidey. He cracks Professor X on the jaw. Everyone else freaks out and questions his motives. Professor X opens fire on the X-Men while saying "Lucy with the football". It saddens me that a lot of younger readers have no clue what that means. How deprived are they?!?!?!
Anyways....Spidey says to trust the spider-sense. It's revealed that it wasn't actually Professor X....but Deadpool using his image disguisey thing! But who REALLY didn't see that coming?
We cut back to the studios where we see Mojo back on TV telling the audience that he has captured Prof. X and his punishment will be to watch his children be slaughtered....then have his mighty mutant brain lobotomized.
Menawhile Deadpool is rounding up the troops giving them a motovational type speech. Using the cameras located around the island he finds the X-Men and Spidey and shhots Spidey in the back. Kitty goes on a rampage and does her phasing-thru-and-breaking-electronics thing on all the bad guys. The rest of the X-Men back her up. Deadpool almost gets the jump on Kitty but Warren saves the day and drops him to the ground followed by a punchfest by Spidey.
Spidey unmasks Deadpool and we see that Deadpool actually looks like the Martians from "Mars Attacks". :lol: Everyone is almost sick to their stomach. Deadpool starts fighting back, guns-a-blazing. He gets the drop on Spidey and is about to kill him when Kitty dives thru Deadpool's chest and makes him blow up.
The Reavers see this and are about to launch an attack in Deadpool's honor.....but Cyclops cuts them off and the Reavers basically get beat down.
Cut to the studios---Mojo is about to kill Xavier himself---but Mojo's men aren't listening. Somehow Xavier got his mutant-stopping control collar off and has the men in some sort of "stop time coma" thing he does. X then says he wants to reply to Mojo's comments earlier. We then cut to the students and all they hear is a scream coming from where Xavier is.
Xavier rolls out of the room and thanks Spidey for his help. He thinks he is a fine young man. Spidey then makes a joke about if he can move into the mansion since Aunt May's gonna kick him out when he gets back.
They all fly home---but we see down on the ground that Deadpool is alive. I'm guessing vengance shall be his one day............maybe.
Upon their return we see Peter and Kitty in front of his house. He knows there is no explanation he can give Aunt May other than the truth. He is finally ready to tell her he is Spiderman. Kitty says she will go with him for support. They go inside and May is nowhere to be found.
Turns out that she is on a date and "it's going better than expected and she's gonna stay the night at his place". Kitty makes a joke about May getting her groove on.
The End....up next---Morbius.
This was ok. It ended just like I thought it would. Not a bad arc....but not a great one either. It was only 4 issues...but I don't thik Bendis could've stretched it out for 6 issues on his best week.
3.5/5
