Well true and whilst im not one to discredit spider-man cos he deserves a lot of respect, he beat molurn last time not in a match of pure strength. I doubt this time will be different...........
by the way, morlun's strength wasn't truly on par with the hulk and thor, despite what peter said. his strength, while superhuman, was considerably less, though the absorption of peter's totemic energies was sapping him and thus making each punch feel much worse than it ever was.
i've got a subscription down at the local shop. i'll stop by after my last class (somewhere between 4 and 5 EST,) and i'll post some spoilers if noone else has.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: the issue starts with irene merryweather, her ample cleavage, and ken ellis on the recap page. ken's a reporter at the daily bugle, it basically just sums up what happened before. flash to fort dix, new jersey, where deadpool's beating up a few camo-clad guards. apparently the mission cable sends him on at the end of 23 is to hit fort dix and find information/documentation about project: cone of silence. more on that later.
flash to cable, bashur and irene on providence, with black box and cable using their ability to tap the dominus objective, looking for information on why the information they wanted wasn't at fort dix. it wasn't, by the way. nate sends irene to talk to deadpool, so that he can figure out what to do. she goes, reluctantly, to manhattan, where deadpool proceeds to hit on her in the best way imaginable. it's fantastic, worth the three bucks for that scene alone.
flash to the daily bugle, where mild-mannered peter parker is being chewed out by triple-j, only to be assigned to a "gotcha!" assignment with ken ellis. apparently they're gonna out the general in charge of project: cone of silence. they head off over the queensboro bridge, with deadpool stalking behind them. pete's spider-sense goes off, but before he can react deadpool's already on top of the car, and throwing parker out of the passenger's seat. off the bridge. now, i'm not up to date on my spider-man, but he shoots out some greenish-grey webbing from his hand, with no evidence of a web-shooter on hand. i assume it's organic, but where that places him in relation to "the other," i have no idea. he recovers from the fall, and constructs a big ****in' web in the middle of the bridge. it catches ellis' car, and the fight begins.
strangely enough, the fight's not that exciting. spider-man refers to his alter-ego as "that guy," which i found strange considering parker and spider-man are known for having a business relationship. deadpool gets a mean kick in on spidey, but the fight's pretty against him. over a span of four pages, the fight's over. and one of those pages was cable and irene talking. it was kind of a let down, but the issue was pretty good on its own.
at the end of the issue, we learn that deadpool did manage to get the plans for project: cone of silence out of the general's private files. turns out it was the plans for a "sculpted gravimetric shell," basically a forcefield meant to separate providence from the rest of the world. it was still five-ten years out from being operational, but there are heavy implications cable will be able to use the schematics to make a "cone of silence" of his own.
the last page has nick fury explaining the situation to steve rogers, and perhaps the greatest ****ing image of captain america i've ever seen. something about how zircher drew him really tickled my fancy. cap asks if nick wants him to talk to cable. fury says "i want talk, i call oprah. i want some ass kicked, i call captain america!" issue 25? cap v. nate. tune in.
also, this was patrick zircher's last issue on the project, and he'll be working on iron man, apparently, from now on. i'll miss his art, but i'll be sticking with the book. go pick up this issue.
Spoilers since I don't know how to do that grey thing.
Wasn't what I was hoping was going to happened. No joke off,Trash talking show down. A joke from peter about there not being any Deadpool underwear. That was about it from him. And it wasn't a total stupid fight that I feared might happen. No deadpool sending spider-man flying with a punch.
And it seems the writer forgot that peter had webs or was around 20 times faster than deadpool or that his spider-sense also can tell him where the danger is coming from. So Deadpool jumping on the car and tossing him out of the window off a bridge shouldn't have happened. Deapool spinning around and actually manging to hit spider-man while continuing to avoid him until cable steeped in seemed a little like the writer was amping deadpools abilities more then they should be.
And did Spider-Man seem a little bit out of character to anyone else. It seemed like i was reading Daredevil.
Not really funny and not really a good fight.
It was a pretty average issue.
Wow, now I'm really pissed I stopped reading this series after issue 12 or so... Because I really want this issue, but I don't know if it'll make sense, considering I haven't read any of the other recent ones.
his spider-sense did go off before he got pulled out of the car, but it was too late and he was in too small an area to react without blowing his cover. and deadpool's gone toe-to-toe with some other marvel heavyweights, so i think the fight was somewhat representative of the two. pete was downplayed a bit, though, and his personality seemed off. but that's nicieza for you. sit on it.
