Fuck yea.

Page one of this book had me sold.  It looks cool, and, oh, by the way, it’s Jonathan fucken Hickman writing a Deadpool story.  About racing.  That involves luchadores, a group of Black Santas called The Damnation Army, and Hitler Twins.  So far only thirty-six people pulled this book.  It’s because no one knew.  I didn’t know.  I just read everything.  This book…this book is ramblingly good.

Composure in 5, 4, 3, 2 —

This is clearly an all around Hickman project.  While he only handled the writing duties on the first of the four stories, the two opening stories owe much to Hickman’s own style of visual narrative  Cokker & Smith’s art on the second story being particularly reminiscent of the devices Hickman used in The Nightly News.

The third story, by Huston and Romero is kind of ho-hum.  But, given how awesome the first two , I was forgiving of its unexcitingness.

I’m really glad Marvel threw Deadpool on this cover, as that should entice more people to buy it than would normally buy a Shang-Chi book (because, frankly, there aren’t a lot of people who remember the character).  I hope their plan works.
