This comic doesn’t deserve an in-depth review. It sucks. It’s another crap story to oversell Deadpool. I need to remember that is it doesn’t say “Writer: Daniel Way”, it’s not worth picking up.

I respectfully disagree.
This was a great title of nostalgia to show why Cable and Deadpool was a great series in the past. Definitely surprised me on how great it was.
@TNC: I’m surprised. This one was almost right out of the gate, bad for me. I loved the old Cable/Deadpool series. But this seemed like a shameless retcon of Messiah Complex to make Deadpool more of a player for future stories. I liked that it was something he wasn’t involved in during this era. That he became a player in the future, but didn’t have anything to do with Hope in our time.
I also think I may not be a fan of Swierczynski’s work. There were issues of Cable that I enjoyed (the Brood arc, for example), but for the most part Ifound it similar to the end of Fellowship of The Ring when every scene was interrupted by "Frodo, the ring is important, runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!" Of course, you replace Frodo with Hope, and tell her she, not the ring, is what’s important. After a while, he didn’t even put them in cool timelines, it was just a dull footrace.
To be fair, I think it’s not that Swierczynski is untalented, I think he’s been given shit jobs by Marvel management. Cable COULD have been really interesting, but it was going to be a chore to make it interesting. And I feel the same here. They kind of need some things to happen to get the story where they want it, so they’re throwing Swierczynski at it. Poor bastard.
That said, all of his jokes fell way flat for me.
@akamuu: Well jokes are subjective when it comes to what you find funny. For me I thought some of Deadpool’s 4th wall breaking were great. Especially the one’s reffering to Swierczynski’s less then steller work on Cable. Nice to know a creator can dish it out and state he didn’t do the best work ever.
Beside I don’t think this issue signify’s that Deadpool is now ‘insanely’ important to Messiah Complex. If anything he was just a semi-bodyguard for Cable in some cases. Basically it doesn’t hurt us if we knew about this or not. This issue felt more like a show of love to the fans of the old Cable/Deadpool series then anything else.
I normally don’t agree with akamuu’s review, but he’s spot on with this one.
@akamuu: sorry bud. This time TNC takes the prize. I agree with him.
The huge difference in these two reviews makes me want to walk out in the rain and get this right now… And I don’t even follow Cable or Deadpool…
@synapse: I totally reccomend going to buy it and read it, and then posting your opinion. What makes me love this site more than any of the others I’ve seen is the diversity of opinions on this site. I mean, yea, some of the people who review here are….less than helpful, but I love seeing reviews by people like TNC and Flapjaxx who sometimes have such vastly different opinions on things than I do, but who express it so well.
@mangaman: Dammmmmmmmmmn it. What prize did I miss out on this time?
A nice piece of nostalgia yet I was not impressed. While I’m easily amused, I didn’t find myself laughing at all during this issue minus the occasional crooked smirk when Deadpool would oh-so-cleverly break the fourth wall. Other than that… I’m not going to lie.. it sucked. I felt like the constant distractions were unbelievable and just mindless page fillers at best. A Cable/Deadpool series better come out of this one, or else that was a nice waste of four dollars :
