Fun little one-shot. I feel like Liefeld's art has gotten better since I last paid attention to him... except for a few panels where he forgets how human backs work. But that's probably just me mostly remembering his worst of the worst.
This was a pretty standard Deadpool tale,; nothing particularly great, and I've never been a huge fan of Liefeld's art work in any case. The story is too stand alone, and didn't have any of Deadpool's more recent characters in it, so it felt like it really belonged way back in the 90s when Deadpool first started out and before Joe Kelly made him good.
I was super excited to pick this one up as I love Deadpool. It was fun read, but a forgettable one. Unless this is a kickoff volume to a killer new series, I won't end up buying this for my collection.
This is one of the more well-written Deadpool titles i've come across lately. While Deadpool remains the fast-talking character I expect to see, this story takes a more serious direction that actually manages to work quite well. The art is effective, the plot is tightly constructed and fully developed, and the story is entertaining. Facing off against a mysterious enemy, Deadpool finds himself facing old friends and foes while confronting parts of his past from well before he ever became Deadpoo...
Deadpool - more popular then ever before - in his first original graphic novel! Good for you, DP - I just wish this wasn't such a mediocre 'debut.' Oh sure, he gets in a handful of good wisecracks (I liked his demolishing response to the "He belongs to Canada" threat), but we've come to totally expect that, and at one point the plot nicely avoids going in a predictable direction in regards to a figure from the past. So it was not altogether bad, but it was sort of forgettable.
Not a bad story but a little bit forgettable. Deadpool confronts someone from his past and has to make some tough decisions along the way. Super quick read, enjoyable for any deadpool fan. But you definitely shouldn't go out of your way to read this one.
The Good: Chris Sims and Chad Bowers write some funny jokes. The Batman v Superman one cracked me up.The Bad: Liefeld's art has gotten somewhat better but he still draws Deadpool's head as if he's wearing a helmet. Shatterstar's sword kept switching back and forth between one blade and two in true Liefeld style. The Ugly: I don't think Liefeld drew a single background in the whole book. If there a lazier artist in comics than Leifeld?
Despite what people may think, Deadpool is actually a quite difficult character to pin down. He has to be an anti-hero who does the right thing (sometimes for the right reasons, but not always and certainly not often). He has to be unkillable but not unstoppable, relentless but certainly not infallible. He needs to be incredibly smart, but his brain is so messed up that he also needs to be incredibly stupid - a perfect representation of an idiot savant.And most importantly, he needs to be funny
This graphic novel could be better if they make it thinner, cut some pages. There is no real story here, old stuff with some new villains. (By new, I mean I haven't seen them before).For me this work is in border between 1 star and 2 star rating. I like the art, so it is 2 star for now.
Brutally bad. I have NEVER read a Deadpool story that I have enjoyed, and...the trend continues.
Art - 2 stars/5Story - 1.5 stars/5Nostalgia factor - 7 stars/5This is godawful, but I loved every minute of it. If you were never a fan of Liefeld's X-Force in the '90's then this may not be your thing. It is clear Liefeld never read any Deadpool comics once X-Force ended. What is not clear is why it took three people to write this when there are maybe 3 pages of story in total here.Liefeld's art is as bad as ever. Many of the poses seem directly copied from classic X-Force books. Check out the
It was okay. Felt kind of restricted. Had this early 90's X-Force centric vibe to it that made me all nostalgic. Not as close to the border of insanity as Deadpool usually is. Although, Deadpool's comment about certain body parts being attached or not was a hilarious inside dig at Liefeld that I thoroughly enjoyed.
In this book Deadpool is being targeted by Thumper (Deadpool's name to the monster) who keeps chasing after him. The question is why?This was really good and i liked it! The storyline was good just it didn't capture me. Overall will read again!
Bad storyline (really took 3 authors writing this??? Oh good grief!) and Liefeld still has problems drawing human anatomy (his old Heroes Reborn Cap on steroids still gives me nightmares... Brrrr!), but all the references to Rob's old X-Force run that I used to love (I was young and stupid then, just stupid now) and that unicorn splash page (oh man, that was just glorious!) made this graphic novel turn all around the wheel from crap to great.Loved it!
Terrible. Just, fucking terrible.
Edit: moved it to two stars because the story is so bad. I felt guilty for giving it better. I am giving this three stars because the art is pretty good, but the story doesn’t even deserve that. It was boring and Deadpool wasn’t nearly as funny as he usually is. This was a rather large disappointment. I am happy I borrowed it and didn’t buy it.
As a long time Deadpool fan, almost from his inception I really enjoyed this. Story had a couple of weak points but Deadpool's characterization was spot on and it was nice to see figures like Garrison Kane again. Liefeld's art seems better than usual here, its weak at points but never weak enough to drag down the experience.Overall definitely above average Deadpool.3.5/5
It was ok.Liefeld's art was never a huge problem for me.. especially when I was young.. I would notice of course all the shit but it wouldn't bother me much and never does on superhero comics. Of course I talk about the way someone draws feet for example Liefeld here. I DO However have a problem with movements/poses that couldn't happen for real and there was a few in here that made me cringe.If I loved something here was the dialogue at the beginning, it was funny, the story was not interesting...
What?!? I mean, inviting Liefeld back was always bound to be a mixed bag, but, what?!? I mean, other than old home week: Kane, Cable, Domino, Shatterstar, etc. what did this do/have? If you were nostalgic for old 1990s Deadpool stories, this one does have a core of semi-sweetness, and was mildly engaging.
BAD BLOOD is a more serious take on the Deadpool character. While I definitely fall into the camp (if there is one out there in fandom) of wanting off the wall comedy in my DEADPOOL comics, then BAD BLOOD is a decent exception. He does make some jokes, but this definitely fall under the category of wisecracks as opposed to the more traditional Deadpool style humor. The story beats found here aren't terribly original, but they are handled well and work to develop the title character. At the end o...
