Probably would have enjoyed this more if I hadn't read it out of order. Gotta go back and read Classic 2 and 3 now.Lots of stupid skin tight boobage, of course, since it's a comic from the 90s, but interesting to see more of the lab origin story nonetheless.
Honestly, Joe Kelly is one lucky MoFo. He has a lot of fan boys/girls at the Kool-aid.

Deadpool grows on you after 25 issues. Internal angst, cosmic questions of free will, betrayal, unrequited love? Deadpool getting deep over here!
Deadpools past is revealed and Ajaxs involvement and murderous is explained. The cosmic Messiah storyline is wrapped up. A great and funny story.
Showed great character development.
This seems to be around the point where Deadpool hit his stride as a solo character with his own title!
I don't read comics very often, I usually only read them if I see the movie version of the character or story and if I liked that I read the comic. I really liked the Deadpool movie which is why I decided to read this and I enjoyed it! It wasn't my favorite comic I've read but I thought it was really funny with Deadpool being self aware and making all the jokes about things outside the comic universe. It also was kind of cool to see the story of Deadpool, as a character, trying to change his way...
This was some pretty serious stuff for Deadpool. Character development, saving the world, Captain America showing up. Totally unexpected. Fun, but the amount of text in these comics make them take 3 times as long to read as a modern comic so I have to get in the "i'm reading a Deadpool comic" mindset or else after about 10 minutes I'm like, "how am I only half way done with this comic?
I'm still not a fan of how Deadpool treats women (or any of his "friends," regardless of their gender), but in this volume I was at least pleased by the story. I found myself genuinely curious about what was going on with the Mithras Directive, and continued to read despite my distaste for Deadpool as a character--so I guess that's a good thing.There are definitely moments in this book where Deadpool shows signs of not being a total asshole, but they're sometimes hard to buy: after so many issue...
This volume collects Deadpool fighting Death, Ajax, LL&L, Tiamat and Messiah, and a possessed Captain America. He goes on to corrupt Monty , has loads of fun at Monte Carlo casino and kicks some more ass. He also becomes a hero. This volume is right up there in the list that says, "Best Deadpool collection ever".
The Merc with the Mouth20 February 2016 Okay, when I purchased this graphic novel (or to be more precise - comic book) I had heard a rumour that there was going to be a Deadpool movie, however I had heard that rumour floating around ever since the first Wolverine movie had been released. Mind you, my exposure to Deadpool was basically from that one movie and it wasn't until I recently saw the film that I realised that he was actually some guy that ran around in a red suit (though I was well awar...
I really like how the overarching cosmic messiah story arc rapped up... but this wasn't as good as i had hoped.
"THIS is Deadpool's world baby!!" It truly is 😎
Hey, this is where I came in! My first exposure to Deadpool was the short Deadpool #0 published in Wizard, reprinted at the end of this collection. In a way, it isn't exactly representative of what was going on in the comics at the time. Deadpool was going through some pretty heavy stuff. But it does paint an accurate portrait of Deadpool's personality. It also has the benefit of being silly fun. Yes, this is what originally got me hooked on the character of Deadpool. Now, as for the main storyl...
Deadpool kicks assThe Deadpool classic saga is really engrossing you will definitely find enjoyment reading these comics. I definitely recommend buying this comic.
some good stuff here. except wade consistently teeters between "annoying" and "just plain stupid"
This was like a typical Deadpool book it was okay, just I just felt that the storyline kind of like dragged a bit or it didn’t really keep me too interested, it was alright tho!
Better than the third collection, but it still has some of the same problems.Spoilers...I really am getting tired of them trying to turn Deadpool into this noble savior type. He's fun because he's the exact opposite of that. The whole Landau Luckman and Lake storyline ended up being pretty much a misfire. I was hoping Deadpool would turn on them and annihilate the whole top brass, but no such luck. The first section, though, which dealt with Deadpool's creation at Department H and Weapon X was r...
This another amazing offering of GOOD and ACTUALLY FUNNY Deadpool comics from Joe Kelly (who, is far as I am concerned, should be the only person who should be able to write Deadpool comics ever again). I've rated it a little bit lower than the other Classic collections, simply because about half of the book is spent on the Mithras arc, which isn't my favorite (however, that being said, the Mithras arc is a thousand times better than anything Way has ever written for the character). (view spoile...
