It's slightly better than the previous six chapters. The writting hasn't gotten any better, but it's easier to take when it's not focused on the whole saviour of mankind and everyone being a jerk about it. The most enjoyable was Deadpool and Cable interacting and Deadpool going on a quest to help Cable.
Unlike the first volume, this portion of Nicieza's Cable & Deadpool run is mired in continuity, with characters' motives constantly flopping back and forth. It would be difficult for anyone not well-versed in the X-Men lore to follow. It is impressive though that a book with such huge stakes manages to be so underwhelming,I recommend it to hardcore Cable fans but not Deadpool enthusiasts, as it's never funny or really all that interesting.
I know this series is kind of iconic which is why I'm giving it so many chances but wooooooow this one was a total mess. All over the place and zero explanation and I'm thankful that this series is the only thing I've ever read by this writer
Very interesting. Many different superheroes were in this. More than I expected. I'm really interested in Cable's story.There was some language, but not as much as I was expecting (most of it was blotted out). There was one or two just grotesque things, but it wasn't shown. And there was also a few sexual comments.
2.5 starts really. I am reading these Cable & Deadpool collections (Vols 1 & 2 so far) and I have been very disappointed in the art and storylines. Cable trying to rule the world....What, did no one remember what a farce that Superman IV was? History repeats itself. I really did not like this collection, nor Vol 1. I am still in my trial period of Comixology and I am glad I did not spend money on these. Guess I was hoping for some 90's type action. Cable and Deadpool against large sums of bad gu...
I DNF this. I couldn't even get through the first issue in this collection. There were jokes about sexual assault and Mary Kate Olsen's eating disorder that did not sit well with me. I know that Deadpool is offensive humor, but there's a way to be funny without making light of serious issues. I was also just plain confused about what was happening with this Cat character and Cable creating a floating utopia?? Whatever, I will not continue with this series.
I really want to love this series. I've heard it's great, but right now I just keep feeling like something is missing from it.
Cable & Deadpool doesn't slow down in its second arc, taking the results for the first arc (Cable is now ultra-powered, and people want to stop him from trying to save the world) and turning out a story that is equal parts hilarity, espionage, and some legitimate emotional moments. Cable sits on high and gives interviews about why he wants to save the world while all the heavy-hitters around the world (SHIELD, the X-Men, and others) all try to figure out how to stop him. Deadpool gets involved a...
There is seriously no way that this series should work, as Deadpool and Cable are very different characters, and yet the series works so well. Nicieza does a magnificent job of somehow making Deadpool crazy silly and keeping Cable deadly earnest, often in the same scene. It's a balancing act that I don't really understand, but the proof is in the entertainment.
Domino is my new favourite female character. Awesome.
I spend a lot of time saying WTF, but feel compelled to read on anyway.
Deadpool wearing (view spoiler)[Marvel Girl's (hide spoiler)] uniform is something you can't unsee.
Wow, that artwork sure is crisp! The ending of the main story is a bit rushed, but lobotomies have never been subtle.Deadpool is looking for a device to get an advantage on Cable whose powers are nigh-unstoppable. Cable is using Providence to help the people of the world end wars and combat hunger and disease. Unfortunately for him, nobody trusts his good intentions.(view spoiler)[Wade steals the device's first part from Shen Kuei the Cat, then gets help from the X-Men for the other parts.Cable
This is an incredibly solid comic. When I read Joe Kelly's Deadpool run from the 90s, I was surprised at how much angst the character had (not to mention how genuinely terrifying he could be, and it still kind of work). He ends up having enough character depth to support a fair number of stories, even if the series wore on me eventually.In this one, the surprise is Cable. Cable is a more interesting character than he gets credit for, with his reputation for being Deadpool's sort of stiff/straigh...
This collection follows on from volume 1 (obviously). The events in that story arc have enhanced Cable's powers and he is now a Godlike figure. Weirdly similar to the Steven Erikson's Rejoice which I read at the same time, Cable uses his powers to help the human race and is treated with suspicion and attempts to stop him helping.There is decent interaction with the X-Men as well as a number of minor supers all trying to stop Cable, but it really comes down to Deadpool to save the day.Much more D...
Art's still great. I enjoyed the story, with Cable and his God complex planning to save the world and Deadpool either helping or hindering depending on the page. There's some offensive jokes from Deadpool, as you'd expect, some made uncomfortable, others not so much. And he outs Iceman a decade before Bobby even realises it himself. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FE1OvhRX0...But seriously (as serious as you can get with a Deadpool comic) the art is super, there's some good scenes with Scott and Nat...
Holy crap..Deadpool is still wacko and Cable is a God trying to save the world from itself, which not everyone thinks is a good idea. Especially the organized religions who have a lot to lose. And governments who are not into beating their swords into plowshares. The X-men get involved as well as a merc group called 6 pack that includes Domino. All in all extremely entertaining and a quick read. I just realized I would take way too long to explain what went on here. Read it. You'll like it.
Epic stuff. Cable even though wanting to do good has become almost like a God type presence and the world governments don't know what to do-even though he has not done anything bad. He is wanting peace by showing people they can do and be better.Meanwhile Deadpool is hired to get a doohickey (technical term) that could stop Cable, even though DP may or may not believe in Cable.Bringing in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men there's a lot happening but it never gets heavy and there's a lot of fun.
WowMarvel fans will love this as much as I did. Dead Pool lives up to his various designations, i.e. the merc with a mouth; the regenerative degenerate, etc. Scot Summers, aka Cyclops gets to confront his son, Nathan Summers, aka Cable. So good it'll make a true believer out of any reader.
My mind was already roiling with Chaos from a previous book, so I continued by reading this twisted trade. This finds Cable trying to save the planet from itself, before he dies. Deadpool is trying to save Cable or kill him, or something. Good, dark humor and lots of action, check it out.
