The story of Deadpool going around killing famous literary characters stalls out in issue three, it’s all a bit of the same-old. I mean, you wouldn’t think seeing Deadpool killing these guys would get old but it has, already, and mostly because they are all just kinda crammed in there. You have maybe two characters given some dedication but the rest just kinda fly on by and you almost have to shrug ‘oh, another person is dead’.
Also, I’m kinda annoyed that the author doesn’t attempt to highlight or even subtly hint to the allusion of Deadpool being Frankenstein’s Monster. I mean, think about it… he’s almost a textbook example of one. Deadpool even gives the original monster some of his brain so that he now has a partner… but beyond that the author makes no other allusion to just how ironic this is. I’m not sure if this intentional or not. I guess we’ll see come later issues.
I don’t know if it’s just me… but this series just isn’t living up to its potential.
