I've read 5 volumes so far and it's just an average read for me. In vol. 5 of Deadpool Classics we get a glimpse of Wade's past and learn about Mercedes. If you want the definitive version of Deadpool I would recommend the series by comedian Brian Posehn and co-writter Gerry Duggan.
The sheer insanity of this pleases me.
I like it, but just barely. The references are dated by now and sometimes it's just too silly. The plot is much more complicated than I thought it would be, but the juxtaposition of a serious plot with all the silliness added doesn't really do it for me.
This volume was...of it's time. I'm trying to be fair, but as this book slogged on I got really desperate for anything that would keep my interest. I came to Deadpool in the 2010s, so I get that the book has changed significantly, but the basic formula is 90% here in this volume. I was willing to give a lot of benefit-of-the-doubt to Deadpool Classic, Vol. 1 because it was the absolute origin of the character. By now though I would have thought things would be more well-honed. Kelly's comedy is
I have actually finished classic volumes 1-5 in an effort to understand what all the fuss is about. I am not a fan of violence, so the interest lies in the search for what makes a person like that tick. The grim humour, which is often mirrored in the credits, is much of the appeal.
was a little more invested in this one than the previous onecw: violence, kidnapping, trauma, hallucinations, ableism (including r slur), anti-native language, misogyny, fatphobia,
Well then. The origin story of "Wade Wilson" and how it ties into T-Ray was just a wee bit dark.
Liked it a lot. Read it quickly.
Falls a bit short after the umph of the previous story arc.
For the most part I liked it better than 3 and 4, but it wasn't nearly as good as 1 and 2. Joe Kelly seems to be universally praised among Deadpool writers, but I don't care for him much. He goes too far in trying to humanize Wade (which sounds like a good thing, but it strips the character of what makes him fun). I liked the storyline with Deadpool's long lost wife, and the twist ending was interesting (although a bit unsatisfying, since they were building up to Deadpool taking down T-Ray in ep...
Well, there's a lot here to love, and a lot to hate, so I'm going to end up at a 3/5, I think. In terms of the main storyline, we spend a few issues with Deadpool whining and/or going crazy which are fairly entertaining. My new favorite Deadpool villain, Black Talon, is introduced, and then things get weird. I don't want to give any spoilers, but an old flame of Deadpool's shows up and so does T-Ray, there are lots of reveals about how these two characters are related, and it all gets very emoti...
3.5This confused the HECK out of me. It started off well but I didn't really like where it ended and I felt like it was an almost disappointing end to Kelly's fantastic run with the character. Don't get me wrong it wasn't terrible, not at all - I just don't feel like it was anywhere near his best. Admittedly, though, it did still have me flicking through pages to find out more. Thank you for all you've done for this character, Joe Kelly. I am so excited for the Spider-Man/Deadpool mini-series he...
now this is deadpool as he's meant to be. no save the world, running away from responsibility type nonsense. just revenge focused, babbling deadpool
the comic boock is really great
Bittersweet as this volume was fantastic with cameos from multiple Marvel characters (Wolverine and Thanos to name a couple)....however, Joe Kelly is now done with Deadpool so hopefully the next author will hit the ground running.
I'm glad that Joe Kelly's run is over. I never fell in love with his take on Wade (or should I say Jack? I won't because no one else ever will.)This was a strange collection. The art is good at times but pretty heavy in the 90's body styles. That said at least Kelly had a vision for his story with Deadpool. I may not have been the biggest fan, but it was a clear story.
Much better than the previous volume. A couple of hilarious stories mixed in with the wrap-up final issues of Joe Kelly's run, which were emotionally sound. However, the final twist of the story comes across pretty predictably if you've been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the story before this. It also doesn't really make any logical sense, despite an extensive attempt at justification from Kelly. It's sad that Kelly's run, which started so fantastically, fizzled out the way that
Started weak with the Sumo story but T-Ray returning was worth the read in the end.
[3.5]
I suppose this collection can best be described as "odd". It starts with Widdle Wade, a half-size Deadpool clone, and ends with the bizarre and pointless Baby's First Deadpool. In between is another long storyline, ending Kelly's run on the title. The end revelation (view spoiler)[that Deadpool is not Wade Wilson (hide spoiler)] is not exactly unexpected by the time it comes, but it still doesn't really ring true. And what do you know, it seems to have been retconned. There are some good moments...
