I loved this story. It was my first Deadpool read ever and I just adored it. The humor, the story, the art. Fantastic.
No great. I can respect the attempt at an alternate interpretation of the character but a lot misses here. Violent, over the top, Deadpool stories should not be boring, and this is boring.
I hate Deadpool. There I said it. Everyone seems to love him but I find him unbearable. His mouth is just so annoying. He never, ever, stops talking. Granted, his attitude is the very crux of his character but I find it so agonising. I hate the films he’s in. I hate his voice. I hate the way he talks. I hate him.So I thought I’d read one of his comics to see if my hatred was more for Ryan Reynolds or the character itself. Turns out it’s a little bit of both. All I could hear when reading this wa...
5.1/10A lot of boom, baaam and caboom but is it for good or bad? Is Deadpool a hero or just a crazy person, he saves or costs lives?An ok 1time read for Deadpool fans.
I've always been interested in Deadpool but as with most comic book characters I've not read, I didn't know where to start. I first encountered the character a few years ago when Marvel attempted to bring Deadpool to the silver screen casting Ryan Reynolds in Wolverine: Origins. Most people felt that this was a perfect choice as Reynolds is known for his sarcastic delivery which fit the character perfectly – plus, he’s a fan. I don’t think anyone could have predicted just how badly they would sc...
Another utterly terrible Deadpool story in what appears to be the norm for Deadpool stories. I have absolutely no idea what Sweirczynski was going for with this odd almost-parody of Charlie Wilson's War (it very rapidly loses any connection to that film as it slides right off the logic cliff). The whole time I was reading this I just kept thinking "Why?" Why did this character make this weird decision? Why did Deadpool make that lame-ass joke? Why was this book written in the first place?This st...
Ok. Not great but decent.
I think Deadpool hates the writers at Marvel as much as I do. The thing I like about Deadpool, is that he kinda represents how superheroes would be portrayed in reality: psychopaths lol.
story was very meh, just meta deadpool unreliable narrator whatever. usual stuff. rating is low because the male writer and artists draw women in the most unbelievably sexist ways. impossibly huge chest, tiny little waist on every female character in the comic. honesty it’s just tiring and completely alienates me as a female comic book fan. these people need lessons on human anatomy because it was just beyond a joke. it also didn’t get so much as a smile out of me, which is saying something cons...
This felt very DC-style “gritty and sad for the sake of being gritty and sad.” I enjoyed parts of it, including most notably an excellent use of Deadpool’s fourth wall-breaking narration and the cover art style. I enjoyed the inclusion of some of his early/classic teammates.Ultimately, an interesting No Powers AU with little bearing on the things about Wade in which I tend to be most interested. Not one I would recommend as part of an “Intro to Wade Wilson” combo pack.
Not really sure what to make of this, canon-wise....
Solid read with humor and TONS of violence. Great art.
I like deadpool, he make me a laugh so much!!
3½ starsThe 4th wall is meant to be broken, and mouthy mercenaries take (propel?) the world of superheroes and super villains into post-modernism. Wade Wilson/Deadpool is one of the most interesting characters in comics, to me, because of all of his ambiguities and a backstory full of unresolved mysteries. He's neither hero nor villain, but straddles that line in between.In this installment, Duane Swierczynski tries to answer a few lingering questions about Deadpool's past and shed some light on...
Sum it up in two words: Pretty Pointless. A few more words... I thought I could enjoy a self-contained Deadpool & Friends book like this - weirdos like Bullseye, Domino & Silver Sable should've given us rich troves of odd, detailed and nuanced character interactions, and a whole tale told from Wade's exaggerated and warped mind? About secret revisionist tales of killings throughout history? And letting us see behind the curtain, to hear some reflected shards of what really happened? How could th...
After a particularly nasty blowout south of the border down Mexico way, Deadpool is hauled in front of a US Senate committee where he’s questioned about similar shenanigans he may or may not have been involved in during Reagan’s years. But is Wade telling the truth or just another bunch of tall porky chimichangas…? Wade Wilson’s War isn’t very good. I liked that Duane Swierczynski blurred the lines between fact and fiction throughout so you can see the differences between reality and what Wade’s...
A twisted, new, perspective on Wade WilsonThis storyline has the potential to forever-alter the way I read Deadpool. In these 100 pages, a complexity, depth, and social commentary are injected into our favorite merc with a mouth.WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!Is Deadpool the made-up persona of an otherwise insignificant soldier? Is every Deadpool comic simply the internalized ramblings of a mentally injured warrior? Is this why he's "self aware", because he is making up these stories in his mind?
Here comes Deadpool breaking the 4th wall again while he's telling his very engaging origin story. Then he proceeds to detail various black ops missions he and three other superheroes carried out for the US government. It's a fun ride with explosions, conspiracies, intelligence services and one massacre per visited location.Deadpool is in front of a Senate intelligence comission led by senator Benjamin Sevier that is investigating the Sinaloa Massacre. He claims he was involved in several missio...
A great thriller with good art and captivating plot structure. The writer claims he explored many aspects of the character, yet I don't count 'having some here an there' as meaningful commentary. What works great in this comic is to give us the FEELING of how and why Deadpool behaves the way he does. Duane really puts us in his shoes while still giving us the certainty that he's only a third party. However, he does not expand these ideas, as he'd be inclined to say. The value is merely emotional...
Ok, I usually love DP, but in this case I don't see the point of this story :/Don't understand why this has 4+ stars...
