This was entertaining to say the least!I've always wanted to read Deadpool comics and after hearing so much about him, watching the trailer for the movie and reading comics which he featured in I finally decided to buy one! I didn't really know where to start and the reviews for this marvel now series were pretty good so I decided to start with them. When I went into the book shop and saw this cover I just hAD TO BUY IT!! LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THIS COVER!!! LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE ON
A little whiplash from all the back and forth and trying to figure out which parts were accurate. Poor dude
Huh. Smirky only a way that I know is funny stuff, and her I don’t find myself laughing. Kinda like reading more than the first few North’s Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comics - I see there’s funny words, but I feel more and more the schtick was wearing on me.
This thing is... very strange. I have absolutely no idea what Marvel was thinking here. First of all, if you haven't read Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet, stop now and go read it first. None of this will make an ounce of sense if you haven't read it, and it will only frustrate you. Also don't read the rest of this review, I guess.Second, I don't understand at all who Marvel thinks this book is aimed at. On the cover, Deadpool's bride's face is obscured, making it seem like whoever he's marrying is
Argh, what the hell?!This is by far the worse arc so far, not because of the characters but because...just read on:World: The world is fun as ever, and those who did not read the Infinite comic will feel a bit disoriented as things are suddenly so different. The art is superb this time simply because of the number and artists and writers who took part in issue 27. It's fun, the world had a lot of callback which was fun. So this is the best part of the book.Story: My God, what a piece of crap. Th...
Abbey Road. "Up all night to get compound fracture-y." Racist dragon villain. Killing Hitler. Superhero bachelor party. DEADPOOL'S WEDDING! Seriously, I was nervous to be excited for this volume, but it was such an amazing ride. Posehn and Duggan and really come into their own with writing this book. Deadpool is hilarious and wacky and amazing here. He talks to the reader. He talks to the editor. He has a backup story called "Continuity Spontinuity." Despite all of that, the book has some really...
This volume is about Deadpool's wedding to Shiklah, the queen of the monster metropolis. But instead of focusing on the actual wedding, most of the wedding issue is about Deadpool's past (probably imaginary) weddings, each written by a different team.It was complete chaos with too many characters and too many writers jampacked in one issue. I couldn't bring myself to care about Deadpool's imaginary wives or his ridiculously unbelievable stories. The stories were barely 5 pages long and still cou...
Jeff wept.I love Deadpool. In another Deadpool review, I stated un-categorically that if I had another son (or daughter), I would have named them Deadpool over the strong objections of my closed-minded wife. Writers of Deadpool: I don’t ask for much: humor that ranges from the clever to the sophomoric, violence, panels strewn with bodies (and body parts), cameos of other Marvel characters looking absurd, violence. How hard could it be to write a reasonably funny Deadpool collection? Apparently,...
(If you’ve just been reading the Marvel NOW! Deadpool, you might well be wondering where the hell Deadpool’s wedding came from - after all, there wasn’t any indication of this in the previous four volumes! The missing link lies in Deadpool: The Gauntlet, which, helpfully, at the time of writing has yet to be published in trade, and should’ve really been Volume 5 seeing as it was written by Duggan/Posehn as well. Anyway, if you want the whole story, check that out before reading this - let’s say
So, this was a pretty big letdown. That cover is iconic and I even have a poster of it because it’s that cool (and my trivia team won it in a comic book trivia event in college). I expected a lot of this book and I didn’t get anything I was too crazy about. This series shines when Duggan is writing it. That’s it. I put up with some of the fillers because Duggan added some of his own stuff to it but the amount of filler issues in this series is just ridiculous. I mean if you look at what Duggan w...
"I don't get too many happy endings."I really liked that Wade was surrounded by friends on his wedding day and that Shiklah was a solid character with a personality who could hold her own in a fight, instead of being a one-dimensional oversexualised damsel in distress like Carmelita. I also liked that we got an explanation about how Wade's boxes came to be, and why they disappeared. However, even though some of the mini stories about Wade's previous weddings were really good, most were average,
2.5 starsThe title is pretty darn accurate, so I don't think I'll be spoiling anything if I let it slip that Deadpool gets hitched in this one. The actual wedding is only a tiny part of the volume, and the rest is filled up with Wade's previous marriages.According to his memories *cough* he's been married quite a few times.In other words, you have an unreliable narrator telling silly stories about how he met and married various women. It's up to the reader to pick through and decide if he's even...
Ugh. I haven't really liked the current iteration of Deadpool, and this sure wasn't going to change my mind. So, Deadpool is going to get married, to a character who as far as I can tell, never appeared anywhere before the issue where she marries Deadpool. And then there's the longest single issue of any comic I have ever read, with a bunch of bad, terrible, really bad, really terrible, and outright awful stories about Deadpool and women and ugh. And of course we need another retro Deadpool stor...
The main story was cute, the resT? Blah. The main story of Deadpool and his lady friend getting hitched is really fun. Especially when Deadpool goes to all his "friends" and asks them to marry him off and join him in a celebration. There's a lot of cute/funny moments to be had and even some cool fight scenes if you believe it. I also enjoy Deadpool married, it's different. The side stories, or the stories written by past writers of Deadpool vary from decent to shit. The worst being one about Dea...
This one was NOT a hit. Especially after the 'Dracula's Gauntlet' episode, this one was a severe letdown. The short-shorts used to fill up most of the pages were not funny. And the really cool Mrs. Deadpool didn't get that much of space that would have done her justice.It's the Gauntlet that I would remember, truly.
This was/is a mixed bag. At times it was hilarious, and at others it was tiresome, as many different writers and artists of varying qualities told/tell various absurd Deadpool marriage scenarios...But it ended on a high note with a very well illustrated and quite humorous "Annual" story.
this was fun!!!
Well, that was awful. First Deadpool gets married. No, you didn't miss anything, this comes out of nowhere. If we've ever met the bride character (in Marvel continuity, not just in Deadpool), I don't remember her. Then, because wedding issues are always oversized issues, we get a bunch of short stories about Deadpool's past romances written by Deadpool's past writers. None of these stories are good or worth reading. By the time we get back to the main story, I've already forgotten what the main
After the last volume of Posehn and Duggan's Deadpool, I felt lukewarm to the whole series. It was a decent stretch of comic, but geez, Deadpool can be a wearying character. And after what I consider something of a revolution for the current series in Volume 3 - a dark, distinctly uncomedic tale, that took the Deadpool character in directions that gave him a depth and likeability unlike I've seen of him before - Volume 4's Aliens parody killfist and jokier, gag-filled approach just seemed like,
Ok, that was awesome! The wedding issues had lots of mini stories by Deadpool creative teams of Christmas past! It was really cool to get to read stories by all my old favorite. The wedding issue was stellar and the flashback was an awesome prequel. The annual did a lot of explaining of the white voice boxes from the previous Deadpool series.
