Deadpool, Volume 4: Monkey Business by Daniel Way

Deadpool and Spider-Man together? Ooh my god, yes! Since I saw the episode 'Ultimate Deadpool' of the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' TV series, I couldn't wait to see them together in a comic.

The story was pretty simple. One of Peter's friends gets killed, together with other people who were known criminals. And when Deadpool shows up, Peter thinks suspects him of the massacre.
But good ol' Wade doesn't have a clue of what happened. So who could've done such a horrible thing?
Well, a monkey (Japanese macaque) named Hit-Monkey! Imagine a monkey in a suit à la Hitman with a whole lot of guns, and you get the picture.
But why hasn't Hit-Monkey left New York yet? Well, guess who did a lot of bad things in the past? That's right, our friend Deadpool did! The only thing he can do now, is ask Spider-Man's help.
You'd think the setup for the story is a bit lame, but wait until you see Deadpool's plan come together in the end. HI-LA-RIOUS!!

As a bonus, they added the origin story of Hit-Monkey. It was nice to see that they just took a monkey and gave him some powers due to an accident or something like we're used to.
His background story is sad, but satisfying. Although I still think a monkey who works as a hitman is a bit far-fetched...
