I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

The Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 16: Deadpool by Brian MIchael Bendis (Writer), Mark Bagley (Penciler), Mark Brooks (Penciler), John Dell (Inker), Mark MCKenna (Inker), Danny Miki (Inker), Mark Morales (Inker), Jimy Palmiotti (Inker), Jaime Mendoza (Inker), Justin Ponsor (Colorist), Richard Isanove (Colorist), Laura Martin (Colorist), VC"s Cory Petit (Letterer)


Peter Parker has broken up with Mary Jane because it is just too dangerous for him to date anyone. But that's before he meets Kitty Pryde of the X-Men who can take care of herself.  She wears a different costume so they can try and make an attempt to date while outside of the costume.  After bringing in the Ringer, Kitty takes the electronic transport back to the mansion and Parker goes home.

But someone looking like Storm and Wolverine attack her at the mansion and the plane is sent back to Parker.  He hops on and is tricked by Kitty into getting aboard a ship with some of the X-Men head out to Genosha where they are kicked out of the plane.  He's met there by Colossus who tells him about being tricked himself.  They run into Scott and find the same story with him and figure out what they are dealing with a shapeshifter as well as someone named Deadpool who was paid to get them all on the island and let them fight with his Revealers, those who have had modifications done to their bodies.  

Nightcrawler and Storm show up to help and soon they find that they are being televised on TV by Mojo.  And soon Spider-Man and Kitty's romance is no longer a secret.  Who will win the ultimate battle?  Also included is a comic about Blade and a comic with Daredevil and the Punisher and how Spider-Man learns some hard truths.  

I"ve always loved the Deadpool comics, but this wasn't the Deadpool that I've known and loved.  He wasn't witty and funny like Spider-Man often is and he wasn't the good guy, or at least the guy in grey.  The other two comics were excellent and powerfully written.  I'm going to knock it off a star for Deadpool's portrayal while giving it four out of five stars for a still stellar book.
