Deadpool has a shit ton of money and obviously he becomes a pirate, it's just logical and then he teams up with x-men for all of five minutes. I loved this, it's hilarious and hydra bob in that giant ass parrot costume is just amazing. Definitely worth picking up it will cheer the moodiest of butts up, but if you want something serious than i dunno what the hell you're doing looking at deadpool.
This volume collects a two-part story where Deadpool decides to become a pirate for no reason and a four-parter where he (tries to) join the X-Men.Pirate story: utter bilge with the occasional laugh thanks to Sideshow Hydra Bob. 2 stars.X-Men story: genuinely funny throughout and actually quite clever in places. I'm not sure I ever completely bought Wade's motives, though. 4 stars.Average score: 3 stars.
This series was fantastic....what the hell happened? The first few pirate-y issues of this volume were entertaining and then I'm not sure what happened. I hated the whole becoming an X-Men thing. Aside from the boring predictable plot the funny just wasn't there. Deadpool was more of a supporting character and instead of being crazy awesome he was just stupid. What happened to the clever witty humor and gratuitous violence?!Here's hoping this is a fluke blip in what has been an otherwise amazing...
After literally blowing his brains out from boredom, Deadpool decides to spend his vast wealth on living out his fantasies - it’s a pirate’s life for Wade! And what good is money without friends? To the West Coast, to visit his old buds the X-Men on Utopia! Though Daniel Way’s Deadpool run has so far been great, X Marks the Spot is just a so-so Deadpool book. The two-issue pirate story is quite forgettable and throwaway and Shawn Crystal’s art is plain awful. Thankfully Paco Medina returns to dr...
X Marks The Spot is divided into two stories.The first one picks up after Deadpool comes into a butt load of money and for whatever reason, buys a nuclear submarine. Mistaking it for a boat, he abandons it believing it sank. Now, he’s decided he wants to be a pirate! So he purchases a small ship and outfits it with weapons. Bringing on his buddy Bob as his crew, Deadpool forces him to don a giant parrot costume and act as his trusty talking companion. Hi-jinks ensue!The second one involves Deadp...
Giving Deadpool depth and character develop aside from his witty one liners and insane sense of humor? I love it. My only problem with Deadpool nowadays is that it's all about the jokes, which - don't get me wrong - are always pretty hilarious, but just once, I'd like to feel something after reading an arc, or some such, like he had something else other than violence. And this volume was almost just that. I'm not saying change the character, just give us a little more insight into Deadpool, just...
Deadpool is swimming in "don't tell everyone Norman Osborn is a liar" money and he has decided he wants to be a pirate. He even gets Bob to dress up as a parrot and act as his first mate. He arrives in his pirate shit to a resort island and meets a hott blind tour guide and asks her to join his crew. But his pirate dreams are dashed when another grip of pirates come to the unguarded island to loot and they also take his ship. In an attempt to get his own ship back he ends up saving the whole isl...
Deadpool is a versatile enough character that you could tell any number of stories with him, all in different genres. In this collection, he briefly becomes a pirate and then tries to join the X-Men.The downside of Deadpool is that he can very easily come off as random, which makes it really hard to engage with his stories. The two-issue pirate adventure happens purely because, on a lark, Deadpool decides to be a pirate. That’s it, that’s just the whole story, not much more to it than that. He’s...
I've never been crazy about superhero GN's, and this was my first Deadpool GN (the movie made me do it!) so I reserved my opinion for a few pages. Initially it felt like a silly forced plot - though it made me realize how scrambed Wade Wilson's brain is 24/7 - but the "I Want You To Want Me" arc with the X-Men was actually pretty great... character development, cross-world story that wasn't just for name-dropping and blatant $$-grabbing, decent plotting and twists. A perfect antidote to a crap-d...
Deadpool looks good in the X-Men uniform. He uh, does it justice? Medina is a great artist for Wade.
Oh this was good! I mean, I rated each of the prior two volumes 4 stars, too, so it's not like I was REALLY expecting a drop off in quality or anything--but it can happen, except it didn't here. In fact, I might like this one more than its predecessors. We get two storylines here, two issues where Deadpool buys a boat and becomes a pirate, then Deadpool getting bored and deciding to join the X-Men (who are a bit less keen on this idea).I mean, there's not much else to say; if you read the first
