X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Deadpool #3

Review: Deadpool #3

I will say one thing about the new Deadpool series, it does make me laugh out loud. Some of it is the ‘so wrong it’s right’ jokes and the rest is the references to points in our political history.

This was definitely the funniest of the new DP’s so far (if for the letters from other Marvel writers in the Dear Deadpool section)… and kudos for including Dr Strange.

However, there still isn’t much in the way of depth here other than the whispered comment by Dr Strange in regards to something being off about DP. Yes, DP is off, that’s never been debated. Could this be the reference to what the heck happened between the last run and this run that we’ve been waiting for?

Let’s hope we’ll be picking up the pace here while taking the mick out of our country… I did love the following exchange:

Nixon: Now see here, my fellow American.
DP: I’m Canadian
Nixon: Bah! Who let you in?

That’s a very good question…

Deadpool #2

Review: Deadpool #2

I actually read this last week and never got around to posting a review. As I sit here attempting to that I now realize… there was nothing remarkable about this issue.

Other than some funny comments made by the Dead Presidents and one ghost (hallucination?) of Ben Franklin… just more of the same ol’ wack-a-doodle that was in the first issue. I’m beginning to see my friend’s point about how Deadpool is not really taken seriously anymore and now a one-dimensional joke of a character.

Also, what is up with drawing him as manky as possible? I mean, yeah, we all know his health-factor causes cancerous sores all over his body but there is a reason he wears that outfit!

If the ever do get that Deadpool movie off the ground… I hope they source info from Kelly’s run and not what is going on right now.

Deadpool #1 – aka Best Babies Variant Ever!

Review: Deadpool #1

Deadpool has moved on from Daniel Way to a new series by Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn. A lot of people (that I know) gave Way a lot of flack for what they call ‘turning Deadpool into a one-dimensional character’ but dunno if I really agree with that. Regardless, this is not about Way but about the new series!

It’s… wacked… wack-a-doodle.

Not only is the villain a completely insane idea (Necromancer bringing new meaning to the term ‘Dead Presidents’) but they really went out of their way to draw DP as manky as possible. So gross!

There were some grown worthy lines… as well as some very awesome scenes… so while this wasn’t a great Deadpool comic (the greatest being DP going back in time and pretending to be Spider-Man under Kelly’s run), it wasn’t a bad one either. Not sure what it’s setting up for but I’m not willing to cancel my subscription just yet.
