Its Deadpool.I can't say anything else here other than, it is deadpool.But seriously, the story takes a lot of spy thriller tropes and plays with them, while still being clever, deadpool, fun, deadpool, insane, deadpool, and imaginative in all its deadpool glory. It is a shame that this work isn't given as much love as it used to.I definitely approve of this work. Would love to read it again any time.

Marvel takes some of its most beloved characters and transplants them to the early 20th century in this series of books, Noir. Deadpool gets the same treatment in "Pulp" placed as he is between WW2 and Vietnam. The plot is that America and Russia are deep in the Cold War and Outlaw is stealing a briefcase of nuclear secrets from the Americans for her Communist masters - what she didn't count on was her former lover, Deadpool, out to stop her. The story is pulpy enough for the series, lots of men...

Very good! Wow so I actually read this series a long time ago, I cant't believe i'm only reviewing it now! So Deadpool Pulp, is the origin before the origin? I don't know its set before he goes to weapon x and gets his powers, in this series he's just an ordinary Merc, who talks to much! But ya Wade, finds out he has cancer, and he has one last job! But ya pretty good, and definitely a nice read for Deadpool fans!

Even though it's filled with oft-used cliches and wouldn't make my list of top noir books, I liked it okay. The ending was a nice twist.

Glass's and Benson's Deadpool is a cold war thriller with a depowered Deadpool and Stryke and Cable made into espionage figures in J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. It's somewhat dependent on trauma-induced multiple personality disorder, which is a tired trope but fitting for a Pulp comic in the style of a paranoid political thriller set in the 50s. It is significantly grimmer with none of the fourth wall breaking and meta-commentary that normally both enlightens and hampers Deadpool comics. Jae Lee and L

A toned-down Deadpool mixes it up with a dame, and stolen nuclear bomb. An involving story, but I missed the anticipated madness and mayhem.

Good but not great is what comes to mind when I think about Deadpool Pulp. The storyline is simple: a nuclear briefcase is stolen by Outlaw, a former agent and Deadpool is recruited to help stop her. The plot twists are obvious however given the nature of the story, this seems appropriate. The artwork by Lawrence Campbell resembles that of Dave Aja and compliments the writing, the final battle between Outlaw and Deadpool is well done. A problem with this work is that there is minimal action betw...

The story is a more realistic retelling of Wade's origins and the mission he was involved in prior to truly becoming Deadpool. He already has the Deadpool persona inside him, but not the healing factor. He is also not as goofy or funny, but it may be because he hasn't undergone enough torture and brainwashing. Given these differences, the story leans more toward a spy thriller, than superhero book. You don't have to be familiar with any character's background to enjoy this read, so I highly reco...

A serious and mature Deadpool? Nah...I’m good. I mean, it’s a decent noir comic...but it felt more like a generic detective comic or just something out of Daredevil or Batman...and not as engaging. I liked it though...but it’s best that Deadpool remains his breaking the 4th wall, overtly sexual, extremely and incessantly violent, absurd self.

I really enjoyed this, moving Deadpool to the 50s Cold War America. The art is the highlight for me, and this Wade is more believable than many other versions. Cable has a small role here, as does Stryfe, in a plot that's not super original, and has been done better by others, but compared to 90s Deadpool? This is waaaay better.Sean Phillips-esque artwork, enjoyable little story here, fun. However if you don't like time period transplanted heroes, then this won't work for you.

It's the Cold War.America and Russia stand at bitter odds, doom is ever looming over the heads of the American people.The wounds and misery from WWII are still fresh, and nobody trusts anybody.A nuclear briefcase, a perfectly normal little thing with the power to level half of New England, has gone missing. Only four dead CIA agents remain at the crime scene.The spy who stole it, a deadly vixen known worldwide as Outlaw, plans to make s big show at this year's 4th of July celebration at the stat...

Not very funny to be honest, but still quite nice to see our deranged"hero" in a slightly different context. Though a lot of these Marvel superheroes as pulp noir characters books have the same flavors, this one was pretty good.

A Deadpool Pulp adventure sounds great but the execution here was off. The comedic side of Deadpool was missing. There were some attempts at humor but most didn't hit. Bringing characters from Wade's life into this world made sense but some made no sense. The art saved the book. Laurence Campbell's art was fantastic and perfect for a pulp novel. Overall, it seems like a really good idea that needed more thought out.

So the idea here is to take Deadpool, depower him, and adjust him (and Cable, for that matter) to a 50s pulp style. What we end up with is a slightly grimmer Deadpool, a former POW who is, among other things, one thumb lighter. Here, he's hired to avert nuclear disaster by going up against old flame Outlaw. There's some really good scenes here, and some fantastically atmospheric art. The storyline is pretty solid, but maybe a little ambitious for just four issues to cover. It was a different loo...

My entire takeaway from this pointless book was "It could've been worse." Benson just plain has no idea how to write Deadpool. After the awful Suicide Kings and his stories from Team-Up and the Deadpool 900/1000 books, I think it's safe to write him off as an author I'll ever be interested in again. He just writes the most cliche, boring stuff, and tries SO HARD to make his dialogue "cool." Instead, everything feels flat at best, confusing at worst.He seems to focus so much on making his dialogu...

A good looking and very different Deadpool series. Short at only 4 issues, however putting Wade Wilson in a 1950s ish era works to make a more sombre and subdued version.Wade is still a soldier who in his head was tortured as a POW in a Japanese camp and was broken, turning him insane.Now he dresses up as his torturer and works for the government.The story line is the basic spy/espionage fitting of the time. There's a nuclear bomb which one of Wade's ex lovers a very dangerous femme fatale is go...

The storytelling style starts you off at a nice jog, giving you time to get adjusted but not too comfortable. It's not entirely clear what all the panels mean and that's a great way to get a smart brain like mine engaged from the get-go - don't tell *me* I won't be able to follow this :)Once the novelty wears off (or once I caught up - not sure which) it became readily apparent that whoever wrote the dialogue likes noir without actually wanting to work for it. There were so many cliched lines I

This was so boring, I can't believe I finished it.

Great origin story. Recommended!

I wasn't sure what to expect from how they'd spin a typically funny comic like Deadpool into a pulp-style noir adventure but the results were pretty surprising and actually rather good. They set up a whole new narrative for him and even an explanation for his multiple personalities/voices in his head together with a rather complex caper that nicely came together in the end.
