review 1: Pretty good for a Deadpool comic. Course Deadpool does get graded on a curve. And yet the writing was good, perhaps even funny. The art good, unfortunately quite a bit of it showed Deadpool uncostumed. I hate to think Deadpool is growing on me, I prefer to believe that the books are just improving. They are still gross and annoying. But now with plot and meaning and humor that is humorous. And stories that might even have endings.
review 2: I dropped out of this series because I had no real interest in reading volume two. Not sure yet if starting it up again was the right idea.The bad: Deadpool angst bores me, and that seems to be the way the book is leaning. He isn't very good at it, and it doesn't sit on the character very well. The puns are really, really aw... moreful. And it's so tastelessly violent that even the characters are disturbed by it. There's also a retro-style issue that's just plain terrible. It's unfunny, overly long, and a waste of space. The good: It may be ultraviolent, but the action can be fun to read, up to a point. I was actually enjoying most of the action scenes, but they just kept going further. There are a few moments that are actually laugh out loud funny, though they're few and far between. There's a really good poke at Watchmen that's just subtle enough to be actually funny. And I do find myself curious about where this is heading, if anywhere.In short, this is a book with some serious problems, but one that has moments that make it worthwhile to read. Provided you can take a lot of stupid jokes and ultraviolence, of course. less
