Sometimes I think I exaggerate about how much I love Deadpool and then I reread Deadpool comics three or four or five times and I realize I'm probably under exaggerating how much I love him. I gave this four stars the first time, but I'm changing it to 5 because it's just so fun and enjoyable and Deadpool.

A necromancer is fed up with direction The United States is going in so he decides to resurrect the country's dead presidents to lead the US into the future.When Captain America steps in to solve the problem things don't go so well.So SHIELD needed someone disposable to handle the issue and so they enlisted the Merc with the Mouth.What can I say about Deadpool Dead Presidents? I didn't find it funny. For every chuckle I cringed or yawned five times as often. Nothing about it drew me in. I can't

As a longtime Deadpool fan, I feel like my desires are pretty simple. If I read a Deadpool story, I'm looking for humor, silliness and over the top violence. In all three categories, Posehn and company more than deliver. The idea of some necromancer bringing the dead presidents back to life for Deadpool to have to take out because it's too embarrassing for Captain America was just too perfectly Deadpool. I read this right before watching the movie and turns out that that was a wonderful choice.

I don't remember the first time I read this run but this remains my favorite run of Deadpool! Most people love Deadpool for the jokes but he's much more than that! He has a pretty damn tragic history and Duggan and Posehn never shy away from that. We get a Deadpool story with depth on top of hilarious jokes. I'm not sure if their senses of humor just mesh well with mine or what but no one's Deadpool books make me laugh as hard as these. I love this series!So, a necromancer called Michael (who De...

Deceased US presidents have been resurrected and are wreaking havoc. To protect their image, S.H.E.I.L.D. refuses to dispatch The Avengers. I mean, can you blame them? You can’t have Captain America running around lopping off the heads of George Washington, Abe Lincoln and John F. Kennedy - what a P.R. nightmare! As a last resort, they look to someone who could care less about their public image; Deadpool! Can Deadpool defeat the former heads of state before America falls? Brian Posehn & Gerr...

this wasn't exactly BAD, i just don't think it's the kind of deadpool story that *i* want. it's a fun enough story and it's ridiculous enough for deadpool.where it falls short for me is how deadpool is... kind of..dumb? all he does is rattle off oneliners and popculture references while constantly getting impaled and guts everywhere. it's supposed to be funny but to me it's boring, it's flat and it's pointless. there are a few attempts at meta commentary which doesn't really work because it's ha...

60% | C+ | Good"You're not the hero we want, you're the scumbag we need"I ain't 'fraid of no ghost. With dead presidents wrecking havoc upon The United States of America after being resurrected in the hopes of saving America, there's only one person that can save the country. Well, actually, there are quite a few people, but the job lands in the hands of Deadpool. Can he save everyone, or will he end up doing more damage than good?Humorous, action-packed, full of gore, and plenty of fourth wall

This isn’t bad but... maybe disappointing.What’s it about?A necromancer wants to fix America’s problems by raising dead presidents and having them fix everything. Seems like a decent idea until you remember that bringing people back from the dead is a bad idea that almost never works out well.So now these dead presidents (also, side note: zombie presidents... President Evil would have made a much better title for this volume!) are hell bent on destroying the country because... uhh... well, we ne...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/There aren’t a lot of comics on my TBR because (1) I am poor and the liburry selection tends to be more than a bit limited, (2) I have old lady brain so I mix up all the character’s origin stories, and (3) I have the attention span of a flea so continual storylines and I are probably not going to play well together. But then I found Deadpool. He’s my lobster and everything about him makes me go . . . (Ha! There is no end to the pow...

2.5 starsEh. I didn't hate it, but I'm glad it wasn't longer. My teenage son loved it...if that tells you anything. So a necromancer brings all the former (dead) American presidents back, in a misguided attempt to make the country...better. Yeah, it didn't work. They came back without their humanity, and now they're just a bunch of gross corpses with crazy character flaws. It was pretty silly, and I was only mildly entertained.But.If Deadpool is your super-duper absolute favorite character EVER,...

The run-up to the Deadpool movie saw a lot of sales on Comixology and for this reader, it was a deal that I couldn't ignore.I finally patched up some missing chapters in the last volume of the Deadpool monthly comic. That comic launched with this story as the opening arc and I read it when it came out originally as floppies. I think I liked the story better reading it as a trade. One could really wallow in the manic energy of Deadpool rather than have it dissipate at the end of every month.The w...

Duggan and Posehn have found the perfect mixture of humor and action rarely found in any form of media. Think Ghostbusters in comic form. It reminds me of Giffen and DeMatteis great run on Justice League International. I'd love to see what they could do with Spider-man.In this book, a necromancer raises all the dead presidents and they decide the only way to save America is to kill all Americans. It's balls out, crazy, insane...in a good way.

Updated Review: So this was better upon re-read. Few more jokes landed and I really dug the art this time around, some awesome bloody fight scenes. I think the problem with Deadpool works so well Rated R that the PG-13 version in the comics doesn't work as well for me. But I did enjoy Ben Franklin being a funny dude. But yeah reading the entire Omnibus, hope it goes deeper into Deadpool mind to get a more down to earth story. Original Review: Man, I guess Deadpool comics just don't work for me.

Deadpool is definitely an interesting character, but I'm not sure he's one I care to continue reading about.

Yup. Sue me. I like juvenile humor when its done right and I thought this was done right. :)I mean, you've got everything your Civics teachers in American Public High School would want in an educational comic! We get to name ALL THE PRESIDENTS! We even get a little treat with them, such as little tidbits that made them real people...... as they were resurrected as evil incarnations of themselves bent on destroying America and of course we get a smartass Wade to dispatch them because Shield doesn...

One of those regrettable situations where something designed to be hilarious does not even bring a weary smile to your face. Several friends whose opinions I respect and usually share like this book a lot, which is a good reminder of just how subjective humor can be.It’s not that I generally dislike over-the-top violence or political incorrectness in fiction - I tend to enjoy Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Johnny Ryan, etc. Still, this did not click with me for some reason. Part of it is probably th...

Dead Presidents of the USA are rising from the grave and threatening to destroy the humankind. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Naah just kidding. Definitely the Avengers! What? They can’t? Well the X-men then? No? Hmm… oh yeah Deadpool of course! Because he is not the hero we want. He is the scumbag we need!

My first experience with comics, and I'm glad I started with Deadpool. After watching his movie, he quickly became -almost- my favorite Marvel character (after Spidey). I loved his sense of humor, his background, and the Reynolds portrayal. I can't deny that I read these comics with Ryan Reynolds in mind! In this issue where Deadpool fights the ghost of former US president, a mission which S.H.I.E.L.D entrusts to him instead of the Avengers because they don't want their image ruined, which sets

Storyline: 3-3,5Artworks: 5+Not best Deadpool storyline ever, but artworks were good, Deadpool-Marilyn Monroe vs Dead Kennedy was hilarious, the two (too short) cameos of Cap America made me laugh so much that I really wanna read a Steve Rogers' run by Posehn & Duggan and the reference to Ben Franklin bedding Clea in the 70s was funny but not true: it was the evil wizard Stygyro in disguise seducing her, and Strange quickly destroyed him for that. But it seems that Doc and the authors forgot tha...

This was really funny. Of course it would be, though. It's Deadpool.The artwork was awesome. Dialogue was great too. As a history buff, I really loved the American presidents in this. Posehn threw in a lot of really accurate jokes about quite a few of the presidents (Nixon and Watergate, Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, etc.). I thought that was so awesome. And also there was a Pantera reference, so gotta love that.Overall, I really enjoyed this and can't wait to read the next one.
