Deadpool was Deadpool right from the start and that's a very good thing. Despite some brutal mid-90s art from penciler Ian Churchill, this is a collection that's utter mayhem and fun from start to finish.
The 'Merc with a mouth's' first solo adventures... nothing to see hear! 5 out of 12.Collect The New Mutants #98, Deadpool: The Circle Chase #1-4, Deadpool (1994) #1-4, and Deadpool (1997) #1
This ranges somewhere between a three and a four, so I'm rounding it up to a four because it's Deadpool and he's my ultimate fave. <3
Deadpool takes the mercenary archetype seen in Deathstroke, the Weapon X theme of Wolverine, and Spidey's mouth PLUS, and we end up with a very unique character. I love him! I wasn't able to read The Circle Chase, but I was able to read Deadpool's debut in The New Mutants, setting up his long history with Cable, and the series with Banshee and Siryn. Banshee has always been a favorite of mine. My "BFF cat" is named after him, and Wade's relationship with Banshee's daughter, Siryn, adds something...
Okay, I admit it—I just don’t dig Deadpool all that much. I’ve tried—honest. And, here and there, in small doses, I find him mildly entertaining. But, reading this collection—some issues of which I read lo those many years ago when they were first released—I just can’t work up more than a “meh” shrug in response. I do find the idea of Deadpool—a murderous mercenary whose healing powers keep the cancer that’s eating his body at bay, but with the side of effect of making him one hideous, giant, re...
I've always enjoyed reading the first appearances of my favourite superheroes. There's something special about seeing where it all began. Have they changed a lot since their debut? Have they remained relatively unchanged since the beginning? In the case of Deapool, it is without a doubt the latter. He's mostly heartless, overwhelmingly silly, and just a little bit noble. And that's pretty consistent with every iteration of Deadpool I've read over the years. The first story, although the shortest...
One Valentine not so long ago, I decide to surprise my husband with a movie on IMAX.He played and loved the the Deadpool games, so there I was subjecting myself - for the very first time - to the Merc with a MouthI FELL IN LOVE!!!And if one falls in love, one has to read all the comics - OBVIOUSLY!This first Volume was not that impressive, it was the earlier phases, and you can see that.It's compiled out of:New Mutants #98Writer: Rob Liefeld, Fabian NiciezaPenciller: Rob LiefeldCover Artist: Rob...
This collection represents the first appearances of Deadpool: first in non-Deadpool series', like New Mutants and later in his own series. As a result the book gets off to a shaky start. The first half runs a gamut of lesser known Marvel characters and throwaway villains (none of whom are particularly interesting, with the possible exception of Slayback). It's a disjointed affair, especially the first New Mutants entry, which actually ends on a "to be continued" note, and since the follow up iss...
This book collects four separate Deadpool stories, allowing the reader to get a feel for how the character was introduced and how he developed. As they are all very different I have reviewed them individually. New mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza This is the first appearance of Deadpool a comic. It's nothing special really. He is a mercenary villain hired by Mr tolliver to kill Cable. Deadpool fights Cable and Cannonball. He loses and is posted back to his boss. There are a couple o...
Deadpool, Marvel Comics' "merc-with-a-mouth", underwent some evolution in this, a collection of his first appearances following his introduction in 1991. First he's in a single issue of New Mutants with a contract on Cable; by the end of the issue, Cable has defeated him and literally FedEx'ed him back to the villain who put out the hit. Then follow two miniseries from 1993 and 1994, and it finishes with the first issue of Deadpool's ongoing series from 1997.I say he evolved, because in his init...
3 stars feels a little harsh. The art is really good except for the Deadpool first appearance in the New Mutants Issue.Had a hard time getting into the book but once I kept going I definitely got more into it.Fun book though
