I cant honestly tell you why I love Deadpool, it just happenend. It's not like I was eight years old and said 'Batman and Deadpool are my favorite comic book heroes'. It just happenend, for some reason Deadpool as a character works for me. Whether it's the childish humor, or the fast paced action....or again the childish humor: I've just always loved Deadpool as a character.
Which is why I implore all of you, yes even to all you Daniel Way haters, to give this series a try. My god, I have not laughed as much in a comic since....well since a very very long time. Daniel Way (whether you despise him or love him) is the perfect writer for Deadpool. His mindset for Wade, is just so schizophrenic, it works overall in some miracle. Just the way also how Deadpool fools everyone really makes him that more dangerous as a character. The way he just fools everyone at the end of this is really genius, and I didnt see it coming. But other, smaller moments; like Deadpool saying 'SAFEWORD!', to Zombies throwing up his flesh, to him kicking the villain's head into the burned city and saying 'ITS GOOD!!!'...It just words. Again it's so childish, but the humor in this book is just classic for me.
Carlo Barberi takes over for art for Paco Medina...and there's really no difference from what I can tell. It's still very cartoonish and everything is still bright and colorful. Although it's all very cheesecake, Barberi knows how to draw women. Even if it is zombie women which...okay the rest I could say will be very disturbing and disgusting so I wont go that far. Anywho, the art is just good: I cant say why or in a more detailed way, it just works for a title like this.
So for all of you naysayers of Daniel Way (like Ron) and those who arent huge fans of Deadpool....Please, please give this title a try. I will swear by my own life that this title is just as fun as Incredible Herc, Captain Britain, Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, and any other Marvel title that is out right now. Definitely better then what you would get with any Bendis title I can tell you that much. Still, give it a try; the first trade is coming out in Feburary or March and you should buy it. Probably one of the best new series to come out this year.
Art: 5 - Excellent



Nothing personal dude, but I refuse to believe that Daniel Way’s writing could receive a 5 from anyone. Well, maybe from someone who still has Punisher MAX on his pull list and NOT a new Punisher mini from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. That guy I could understand giving Daniel Way a 5.
@Actual: I’m swearing off from new Marvel comics….so that means no new mini’s or ongoings. I think I said it on the first issue that this was a terrible time to make this proclamation. But I dont think I will get much flague from picking up in trade.
Did you read Deadpool? Cause you will believe the story gets a 5 when you read this. Daniel Way might suck on other titles, but for Deadpool he is the best writer for the job.
@ActualButt – why would you take a cheap shot at TheNextChampion, who writes great reviews week in and week out? I don’t always agree with his assessments, but they are always well-reasoned.
However, on this one, TheNextChampion is dead on. Way’s Deadpool is great. If Captain America is Marvel’s best, Deadpool is in the next tier, along with Nova and Captain Britain. These things can change quickly, but Way has now completed two short arcs, both of which are outstanding.
