Deadpool (2022) (Single Issues)

by Alyssa Wong, Martin Coccolo (Artist)

Marvel’s top merc is back in business! We all know Wade Wilson is one of the top mercenary/assassins in the Marvel Universe, even if he is simultaneously the most annoying one…but he’s pushing to make that recognition official as he auditions for the elite group known as the Atelier. Now, he has 48 hours to kill one of the world’s most famous supervillains. Only problem? He’s been kidnapped, and something…strange…is GROWING INSIDE HIM. Things are going to get gross as writer Alyssa Wong (Doctor Aphra, Iron Fist) and artist Martin Coccolo (Banner Of War) take out their pent up aggression on everyone’s pizza-faced, jabber-mouthed, misguided, hate-to-love, love-to-hate fave…Deadpool!

Fun. Much weirder story than I was expecting

[Norrin Shearer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun, fast paced, high stakes start to the new series. Alyssa Wong can do no wrong.

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 3 out of 5]

Never really read Deadpool before and don’t really get the jokes. Just know Doc Ock won’t die so the main mission is already a bust.

I liked this first issue. I have been a big fan of Alyssa Wong ever since they wrote Doctor Aphra. In this issue, Deadpool is tasked with assassinating Doc Oc. If Deadpool succeeds, he can take paid work from The Atelier, this elite assassin group. With any Deadpool comic, I love the snarky one-liners, some inappropriate jokes, and fighting sequences. This issue had it all.

Deadpool is captured by The Harrower in the beginning panels of the comic. The Harrower implants a portion of Carnage into Deadpool because why not. After fleeing The Harrower, Deadpool finds Doc Oc and crashes his experiment along with gaining special powers from the Carnage symbiote.

Puede que los mutantes hayan cambiado con el surgimiento de la Nación de Krakoa... Pero nuestro mercenario bocazas no lo hará... Solo está a nuevas perspectivas laborales. Unas que le colocan tras el mismo Doctor Octopus... Pero algo ha ocurrido y Deadpool está en manos de otro "mad doctor" del universo Marvel... ¿Logrará terminar el trabajo a tiempo?

Alicia Wong arranca de forma segura con este personaje. No avasalla tanto con la vena hiper cómica y se aprovecha de los contextos de acción más desvergonzados del personaje. No sé hasta qué punto me pierdo con ese concilio al que Wade quiere pertenecer. Pero al menos saben jugar a ofrecernos un interés romántico para que te impliques en esta historia.

At first I was hesitant and it felt like it maybe another run-of-the-mill, underwhelming Deadpool series, but this one grew on me as I read it. A decent amount of the humor lands and it looks like there may be a good set up for an arc involving Carnage.
Deadpool does act silly but the stakes still feel present which is very important to get right and too many writers have failed to do.
I know I am late on this one as it has been sitting in my to-read stack for months, but I look forward to reading more from Wong's take on the series.

It’s nice that Deadpool finally has a solo series again. Kelly Thompson got done really dirty with her King Deadpool series being so short, so hopefully Alyssa Wong can last a good while. The art is solid enough, and the hook of Wade having to kill Doc Ock while being infected with the Carnage symbiote is interesting enough for me to keep reading.

I'm sorry but this series is really bad. Deadpool is not even Deadpool here. He's not even remotely written well. Thus far not even a chuckle illicited.

This character dresses like Deadpool but it's not Deadpool...

[Rick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not extremely subpar yet not extraordinary either. It is a humorous start but not one that I found engaging enough to foster a curiosity to continue reading the subsequent issues.

[R.J.K. Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read for "You have really nice needles," then hurry and read through to issue 3.

[Minette Bosman Minazarova · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the jokes, art and the fast pace. Somehow I wasa bit disappointed 😞 😕... I'm sure the next issue will pick it up a bit.

Harrower is really cunty

carnage

A fun romp and dubious beginning to our favorite symbiote to defile our spirits on the atlier plane. 5 stars.
