Well, it was very funny, but just okay???
So Another book that I have owned for a long time but am only reviewing now! So this one is kind of a series of mini arcs, each one leading into the other! The first being a Deadpool vs Wolverine arc, which was very good, and very funny; However the other arcs are bit convoluting, and boring I must say! After the Wolverine story, there's a time travel arc, which is confusing and boring, then there is a arc with mysticism, Multiversity, and Dr. Strange; then there's a story with alien symbiote Dinosaurs(I'm not making this up) you see the problem? I understand its Deadpool comic, but to have all of these weird arcs in one book is too weird, and the book tries to tie them together in a not so interesting way! On the plus side the humour in this comic is spot on, I really enjoyed it; and Bob and Weasel make a very comedic side kicks! The artwork is also pretty nice; that and the humour is the main reason for the score! I feel like a writers can never balance the humour and a good well written story, in Deadpool comics; only Daniel Way, can really get that done perfectly!

I got upset about the Fantastic Four movie while reading this, but you can't blame me. Mr Fantastic has grey hair! As for being my first Deadpool experience, I will say I liked him.

I lent this from a friend as a fun read. This was my first entry in the Marvel comic universe (and western comics in general), I'm not sure it was a good starting point.

Basically the entire series doesn't have much of a story, which is why I cannot rate them more than 2 or 3 stars. That being said, Deadpool comics has a weird and wacky sort of fourth wall breaking lunacy that was just plain fun. With a bit of over-the-top narration and a disturbingly dark and brutish personality, Deadpool (Cable is notably missing from the entire volume, as he is dead... but Deadpool is not worried because he knows the writers are gonna bring him back in upcoming crossovers... yeah) is a refreshing character that I can't wait to get the more of off.
But I do hope he gets better story lines :(

Each chapter in this volume has Wade meet a different heavyhhitting superpowered individual of team. It's almost continuous action that keeps you on your toes with epic fights and solid humor.
Wade noticed too late that Weasel was left behind in Hydra hands during their last mission. In captivity Weasel was forced to develop weapons for Hydra and apparently joined them. Wade must free Weasel, while worrying that Wolverine might get to his target first.
Weasel's malfunctioning device sends Wade and Bob the Hydra-minion-turned-ally into the past - WW2 where they meet Captain America and Bucky.
Dr. Strange takes Wade and Bob to fix the Multiverse. Wade's killing of T-Ray caused the barriers between realities to break from some sort of energy seeping from T-Ray's head wound.
The Savage Land is the weakest place in the Marvel Universe. But, sure, let's team up with Ka-Zar and Zabu to save the world from the machinations of Brainchild.

As someone who's not a big fan of Fabien Nicieza's work, this book wasn't aimed at me. But I enjoyed the first third of the book much more than I expected, and when I fell disinterested it wasn't because of terrible jokes, misogyny, or anything problematic. I just don't care about Doctor Strange, and I don't care about The Savage Land, and by the time the story flipped to "fighting Venomized dinosaurs in NYC with Spider-Man", I had zoned out of the book, which, again, isn't really the writer or artist's fault.
I think if you're a Deadpool fan, even if Nicieza isn't your favorite writer, you might enjoy this much more than I did. Again, the first few stories were interesting and amusing. This final volume of the series was much better than most of the run that still had Cable running around during it.

continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...
3.5 stars.
Somehow, I missed this volume back when I was reading through the (surprisingly good) Cable and Deadpool series. (found it when I desperately needed a break from the Uncanny Avengers series...) Marvel had killed Cable at this point, so the Cable half of the title has to go away. Deadpool has a cross-time caper that features a ton of the rest of the marvel universe. As you can imagine, hilarity ensues.
It is genuinely funny throughout and manages to be a breezy read. Sure, it is different than the rest of the series, but it is a fun ending regardless.

Deadpool and his friendly Hydra agent come across Wolverine, Captain America, the Fantastic Four and a variety of other Marvel heroes in an interesting, but a bit all over the place, time jumping adventure.
For the most part, I liked the artwork, but a certain inconsistency in the writing bugged me,

This was enjoyable because of all the different time periods and places Deadpool went through, as well as all of the Marvel heroes he met up with. Yes, it's part of the Cable & Deadpool series, but it's pretty much standalone Deadpool stuff and you don't need to know much of anything about the storylines leading up to it.

I thought it was alright but cold have been funnier. I did zone out a little at times when they were time travelling. The last part with the symbiot dinosaurs, I didn’t enjoy and helped to redeem the book as a whole.

Probably my favorite final page of any Deadpool comic.

6.5/10
Had its good moments, however in general without Cable this was not good enough. Wolverine story line was ok, Dr. Strange was bad...

All good things must come to an end. And they did. It was a fun, violent and thoughtful ride.

The incredible battle that Deadpool is facing and his great prowess he faces.
February 27, 2023
I feel like Deadpool's ultimate purpose in life is to fight it out with other heroes.

Typical Deadpool silliness. In this case, he's fighting with or against other marvel characters

I HATE TRAY GTFO ‼️
Happy family moment at the end tho :3c

The five stars are because of the ending. I have had some trouble while reading Deapool. I loved Joe Kelly’s Run (Deadpool #1-33) but since he wrapped things off so nicely, and his predecessor wasn't as good it all felt disconcerting to me. To me story lines are lineal, even when they aren't, because book series have the rules nicely set up from the beginning. the continuity comes from the author always writing him or herself the stories. She might change the rhythm or make changes in her storytelling but you won't ever find a 180° change overnight.
This happened in Deadpool and I was really disheartened to continue. Thankfully I read Cable & Deadpool and I found my beloved characters back, I found the Deadpool that seeks to be better but the world keeps pushing him down. I reunited with Al and Wes! So this ending gives me the perfect aftertaste. I don't need this story to continue, I will close the book with a smile even when I still feel deeply Cable's death. But that will be all, this will be the ending of a series and I won't search any familiarity in any other Deadpool Comic, it ended.
It is somehow more difficult to read comics, the artwork, narrative and story lines keep changing and the comforting sense of familiarity that I get from books shines in its absence.

For my part, I really liked this one. Other reviews were critical of the storyline which admittedly does jump around a bit. The other problem was that a couple sections in the middle would have been easier to appreciate if I had some more background understanding of other aspects of the Marvel universe, but the volume provides enough background to follow events.
Those issues aside, I had so much fun reading this storyline. Deadpool is in true form. Weasel and Hydra Bob have a consistent and entertaining presence throughout. The storyline, on one hand, is simple in it's progressive cause and effect progression. However, as each mistake leads to increasingly complicated fallout, events get chaotic and highly amusing.
There's probably room to be critical here, but the reading experience was wonderfully fun and that was enough for me to give it a high rating.

This was a great end to the Cable and Deadpool series. You would think that it would be hard to continue the series since Cable isn't even in it...But he kind of is. This is all about Deadpool wanting to make his (temporarily) dead friend proud. It's kind of sweet. And the book is a lot of fun, following Deadpool and Bob, Agent of Hydra through crazy adventures. The last page was particularly well done too. Going to miss Nicieza writing these characters.

As the backcover says, this is “Deadpool Team-Up”, as Cable is now rather suddenly gone. The resulting comic loses a lot of its depth, but it’s made worse by the fact that the little two-issue arcs are mostly pointless. Some, like the Captain America & FF arc are enjoyable, while others like the Dr. Strange & Brother Voodoo (seriously!) arc are pretty bleh.

The first three volumes were crap, so I skipped to the final volume and it was really great. While the first three focused solely on Cable as the almighty tele-megalomaniac messiah; this volume, where Cable is finally dead, focused on the favorite character of the series- Deadpool, along with his whacky friends from Agency X.

The first Deadpool graphic novel I got my grubby hands onto! And I'm glad it was. The only flaw was that it was so short. I loved how it showed the way he takes his guidance from random things in his surroundings. And when he made Venom doubt himself! Ah, so wonderful.

I can't help myself. This series is totally crazy and I know from the quality standpoint it isn't good, but it's just so much fun to read it.
December 21, 2012
A fun, silly read. It gets a little ridiculous in the later issues, but Deadpool is still always good for a laugh. Skottie Young's cover art is FANTASTIC. Overall, good read - left me wanting more.
