Deadpool #21
In "Whatever a Spider Can Part 3 of 3," Deadpool and Spider-Man recover at the Baxter Building after a brutal clash with Hit-Monkey, only for Deadpool to pull a stunt that blurs the line between prank and peril—stealing Spider-Man’s suit and faking his death to lure out the assassin. With Hit-Monkey making a dramatic entrance at the funeral and the police more focused on a gun-toting mercenary than a monkey in a suit, the chaos escalates into a high-octane showdown that ends in a fiery climax. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Carlo Barberi, with inks by Sandu Florea and colors by Marte Gracia, the issue’s cover by Jason Pearson captures the absurd tension perfectly.

Deadpool and Spider-Man are recovering at the Baxter Building from an assault by Hit-Monkey when Deadpool takes Spider-Man’s costume and sneaks out the bathroom window. Deadpool fakes Spider-Man’s death to draw Hit-Monkey out and is wildly successful as the deadly simian comes to the funeral. Unfortunately, the police seem much more worried about a machine gun toting mercenary than they are about a monkey in a suit. Spider-Man and Deadpool battle Hit-Monkey once again and things end in an explosive climax. Spider-Man gives Deadpool a lecture on being an angst-ridden hero.
