This comic made me laugh out loud in public. It is pretty amazing. The 4th wall is fixed (I know stressful and scary), then meta steps in, and by the end that 4th wall is nice and shattered again.

Or put in poem form

Robbie Thank You for “Eventpool”
I needed to laugh out loud
My life could use
“An asterisk with an explainer”
“An editor” too
Now that the 4th wall is rebroken
And Meta is back in business
Are you free to reboot My life?
My Life could use a new writer, a rewrite
Let's chat when our timelines cross
Have a great day

Me: "Gwenpool is the most meta thing I've ever read."

Robbie Thompson: "Hold my beer."

"Eventpool" is a Marvel crossover event unlike any other. Returning from their previous adventure to find the world destroyed and the fourth wall back in full force, Wade and Spider-Man have to join with the remaining heroes to fight for the future of the comics universe that they call home.

It's a ridiculous ride through Marvel comics and beyond, all leading to a dramatic confrontation with a villain unlike any this dynamic duo have ever faced before.

"I dunno what comes next, webs. I'm just glad we're on the same page."
"Same, Wade. Same."

I had tears in my eyes on the last page.. for real.. why am I like this? But it is sad that this era is over now :'(

The thing is, this was a really good wrap up and made me feel pretty gloomy/melancholy, but Deadpool and Spiderman really went around in circles this whole series and never grew into their best selves. I mean, the end was cute, but it was nowhere even close to being as amazing and fulfilling as the old men arc. That was hands-down the best part of this series. It was sweet and intimate and heart-wrenching and completely slash-and-burn agriculture'd the rest of the comics for me lmao. I'm insanely grateful for this series, I LOVE Robbie Thompson to the end of time, but fanfic has a definitive leg up on the canon (hehe), bolder and more fulfilling than what we were given.
