Joe Kelly is a tough act to follow, but I gave Priest a chance and now I wish I hadn't. There are very few jokes in this issue that aren't incredibly tactless and offensive (and not in the good way). This is one of the first times meta is really used in the comic and it's terribly poor. I almost don't want to continue reading, but I will because I hate to leave something unfinished.

One of my favorite Deadpool runs, this one has it all, Tom Cruise doppelgängers , witty banter, Deadpool up against Killmonger and The Avengers? And even an unregistered cameo from an intergalactic bounty Hunter from another comic company.

The first half of this book was good. The back half with Black Panther was blah. I really don't care about all those people. Just DP please.

Chris Priest really revs up the fourth wall banter, and the general all round humour with great guest spots, but the lack of Kelly style angst and tragedy takes a little something from the series? I read the comic books Deadpool season one: #34-45 and Deadpool Almost Destroys the Marvel Universe. 6 out of 12.

This is Priest's entire run on Deadpool, thank goodness. It isn't horrible, but Kelly was a very tough act to follow on Deadpool, and Priest isn't quite up to the task. The storyline he goes with (and it is essentially one overly long storyline) goes past zany and weird to confused and unfocused. There's also a crossover with Black Panther that would probably require background reading to fully understand what's going on with that character. (And Black Panther? One of the oddest characters to ch...

This was a significant improvement on the rambling mess that was Kelly's run, but like so many comics from this era, filled with homophobic and transphobic jokes. I counted five in one issue alone. Overall, a much faster and more cohesive read than the last, but these Classic volumes continue to show me that Deadpool has really come a long way from gross beginnings.

Oof. Where to start with this thing? It seems like we owe Christopher Priest for a ton of the persistent problems Deadpool books suffer from to this very day. To be fair, Priest was following Joe Kelly, the man who made Deadpool a character worth reading, who humanized an insane cartoon character to a point where we actually cared about him. Priest had some pretty big shoes to fill, but I wish he hadn't filled them with piles of shit.First of all, this is Ground Zero for Deadpool "knowing" he's

Such a disappointing follow up to Joe Kelly’s run. The characterisation of Deadpool is just off and the plot is weak. I’m not even going to bother reading #46 through to #69 and instead skip to Cable & Deadpool, which hurts me because I wanted to read Deadpool from start to finish but I can’t deal with this writing or art.

So glad to read this was Priest's only stint with Deadpool. This comes off as the first inkling of what the random internet troll thinks Deadpool is. Poorly delivered quips and a non-sensual story, not long removed from the height of dialog and story in Deadpool, and maybe in comics in general. No offense to the guy, haven't read his work to my knowledge, but he seems like his kid told him about Deadpool in ten words and he rolled with that. The only thing that saves it from garbage territory ar...

In this volume Deadpool gets hexed by Loki and now he looks like movie star "Tom Cruise". The stories by Christopher Priest are just "okay" with some pretty cool art by Paco Diaz and Jim Calafiore. Compared to the earlier volumes this seems more like the Deadpool that we know today in current comic books. A fun read.

I love how Deadpool is simultaneously very queer and very homophobic. We call that internalized homophobia

this was... interesting. honestly it really felt like priest was more devoted to writing black panther than this, cause the quality of storytelling in the two series is VASTLY different

Well nigh unreadable. God, what incomprehensible gibberish. Was this funny in 2000?

Starts of pretty good with a whole trailer park of mercs for hire & an origin story of how Wilson became Deadpool but then it gets very comedic with jokes that are hit & miss . the story kind of dragged , the art is subjective as we all have different taste in what we like so ill just speak for the panel layouts & way the art moves the story along - its actually flows pretty good & helps tell the story just fine nothing amazing but it gets the job done. I will be reading the next volume before i...

Contains the complete Priest run of Deadpool. First person to take over after the legendary Joe Kelly run. Not my favorite all time Deadpool run by any stretch of the imagination, but works for what it is as a follow up post Kelly. The run come full circle and can be read as a stand alone book from anything before or after it, and contains dozens of insider references to later 90's world of comics, most pertaining to Priest long history of having books he worked on ax'ed while he was writing. It...

After 33 issues, Deadpool is handed off to a new writer. Unfortunately, Priest's Deadpool just isn't as fun as Kelly's. I can't even particularly put my finger on what I didn't like. There's some good guest appearances (Loki, Taskmaster) and some bad (a spoof of Lobo--really?). There are some good flashbacks, even if they're a little out of character at times. I love the new roommate thing, and I can't say that the series isn't funny. But it's just missing something. I've racked my brain--when I...

I know, I know. If you see ME give a Deadpool Classic volume 3 stars then there is either something wrong with my love for Wade Wilson, or this one didn't meet the Deadpool criteria. Well, as it turns out this volume isn't as...eminent as the other 5 volumes, (I was going to say "Deadpoolish" but no matter what the writer or artist, everyone seems to get the gist of how Wilson is supposed to behave). Here's the thing, Joe Kelly (creator of Wade Wilson) stopped writing them at volume 5. So this

whew this was.........very boringcw: violence, fatphobia, child abuse, ableism,

At the very least, a lesson learned from reading this: just because you're openly self-aware that you're writing poorly doesn't make your writing any more enjoyable to read. Or funny. (Emphasis on the latter.)

Deadpool Classic, Vol. 6 is an 11 issue Deadpool tale told by Christopher Priest of Black Panther fame. The infamous Merc with a mouth is once again down on his luck until he meets Loki who curses Deadpool to look like actor Thom Cruz. No matter how hard he tries Pool is stuck with this beautiful face. Oh the horror! Deadpool moves in with a few new roommates, Titania and Constrictor, and this relationship is the forcing function that closes out this Deapool adventure.There were a few good momen...
