Deadpool #4
Review: Deadpool #4
Quick! How many US Presidents can you name!
That’s pretty much the gist of this issue of Deadpool. We’ve had 44 Presidents and 39 of them are currently undead and tearing things up. It’s still one of the most off the wall plot lines I’ve ever seen, even for Deadpool, but in a way it kinda works. You have the underlying political satire (which may or may not be on purpose) and the fact that this is Deadpool, this is like a Thursday for him.
But back to the Dead Presidents, there have been several Presidents that either had a lackluster run or were simply forgotten to time by the average Joe. This issue sees Deadpool quickly dispatching all the “D-List Presidents” and getting them out of the way for the “A-List Presidents” like Lincoln, Nixon, and J.F.K…. which, yeah, Deadpool should never, EVER, be allowed to dress up like Marilyn Monroe ever again. Just saying.
This leads up to a cage-match fight with Abe Lincoln, wherein Deadpool asks: “Did you ever go to Canada and put a short, hairy baby in a woman?” I can only guess he is referring to Logan but… why? That’s not something I want to envision!!!
Lastly, the art work on this issue still presents us with some of the grossest renderings of Wade’s skin and/or mutilated body. It really is gross.
The most remarkable thing about this title so far is that while it seems to be ‘all over the place’, it’s really not. There is a distinct train of thought, as crazy as it is, and each point is leading to the next. It’s definitely making for one of the strangest reads…
