Want a little ultraviolence in your comics? A bit of over-the-top blood and guts and humor?

This has it, plus, Deadpool has FRIENDS. Awwww. It's kinda amazing. I never thought it could happen. *wipes away a tear*

Even Phil Caulson seems to be on his side.

Of course, Phil only said to light a signal on the helicarrier... he didn't say to blow it up after brutally murdering everyone on board.... but oh well. Win some, lose some.

The first story in the volume was inexplicable and horrific in it's Wakanda/cosmic/crossover wow wtf did I just read retcon goodness, more a tribute and a slap across the head to all you fans of the older comics than anything else, and the nod to tropes across the board is a fanboy's dream, but it was still inexplicable. :) lol

Fortunately, it has whetted my appetite for more. :) ( )

Saw the movie, now S.O. adores Deadpool! Reading through all offered by our library; this was enjoyable. ( )

This arc was largely are tying up loose ends. Get agent Preston out of Deadpool's brain, figure out what to do with Agent Gorman, get Deadpool to move on from the revelation in the previous arc, and so on. It struggles a bit more than previous Deadpool arcs in that it's got so much cleaning up to do that it rarely has time for any fun.

This arc does do a better job than previous arcs of showing "badass assassin Deadpool", when he takes on an entire SHIELD helicarrier worth of troops all by himself. It also doesn't really tie-in to other Marvel characters, it's very Deadpool-centric, which is nice.

I think one problem is that, the writing seems to be moving on from the stuff that made Deadpool super serious in the last arc, but Deadpool himself doesn't seem to be. That makes sense, it's still effecting him, but I'd like to see the Deadpool humor upped just a little bit from this point on.

Still a good arc, but occasionally struggling to find a voice, and a bit too concerned with tying up loose plot threads from previous arcs. ( )
