ANDOU’S SPIDEYPOOL COMIC RECS
okay i’ve split this up into three sections - deadpool solo, spider-man solo, and spideypool interactions. these are personal favorites and recs. there’s probably other stuff you can read too but this is just the shit i enjoyed.
you might be asking — how do i get into comics? where do i start? i’m sorry to say american comics fucking suck. there is no easy way to get into these.
some of these arcs/issues MIGHT be confusing at some points — but just roll with it. if something seriously doesn’t make sense
this website is your friend. you can search the arc directly and get a synopsis with some context if needed. probably. idk.
