This past weekend I saw two comicbook movies: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Once Upon a Deadpool. Both of these films offer a different take on things. Spider-Verse introduces us to a new Spider-Man in a very cool animation style. And OUaD is a PG-13 edit of Deadpool 2. But what makes these two really stand out?
