Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol. 4: Serious Business by Joshua Corin
4.0
The character dynamics between these two always make for some entertaining stories.
The greatest problem I'm finding with this series is the lack of commitment to any one storyline. There have been a couple long-form plots, intermixed with episodic adventures. And with each volume, the story focus and tone seem to shift. While each volume on its own has proven entertaining, the series as a whole suffers from the unpredictability.
There are two story arcs here, unconnected from each other. For me, the first was more enjoyable. However, both offer their share of laughs and adventure in a fashion to be expected from a Spider-Man/Deadpool team-up.
As entertaining as volume 4 proved to be, there really isn't enough here to make it stand out after the last page. So, it's ultimately a good way to pass an hour, but doesn't offer much beyond that.
