In what may be the most epic of all fails of 2016, Jeff and I had planned on reading Don’t Call It A Team Up about eleventeen weeks ago. First his library failed, then some sonofabitchindregofsocietyasshatmothereffer snagged my copy off the hold shelf. Supposedly it’s almost my turn at another library, but in the interim this one queued up. Go read Jeff's review right here and pretend this was a buddy-up too. And to Jeff, here is a photo of adorable Deadpool and his hobby horse in front of a TARDIS . . . .

It doesn’t take long for the poo to hit the fan and a straight up Monster Mash to commence. We’re talking everyone makes an appearance – from Frankenstein to the Werewolf to . . . evil muppets????

And also HAIL HYDRA! maybe Deadpool can save the day and possibly even get the girl.

So this Deadpool selection had something I haven’t seen in my previous Deadpool reading experiences – a continual storyline throughout the entire volume. It confirmed that Posehn is a comic genius and that there’s no such thing as too many fart jokes . . .

And even though Dracula kind of looked like this guy rather than the Prince of Darkness (all hail Ozzy Osbourne) . . .
