review 1: I wanted something more. I've always been of the opinion that Deadpool was at his best when he was not an overly goofy character, he just talked too much and was annoying. But it was the juxtaposition between the dark themes of the life of a mercenary and this talkative, pop-culture referencing madman that made him such a good character. In recent years he's just become a joke. I really hoped David Lapham, one of my favorite writers, would be able to find that balance I've been missing, especially in a MAX title. Unfortunately, this one is very much in the vein of his YOUNG LIARS series rather than STRAY BULLETS. There's a lot of focus on crazy people and a lot of is-this-guy-crazy-or-is-he-the-only-person-who-actually-knows-what's-going-on-here stuff. It could have been s... moreo much better...
review 2: I assumed Deadpool would be even funnier than usual in the uncensored "MAX" format, but that wasn't really the case. It didn't make the character worse or anything, it just didn't really add much. Couple of really good stories in here that probably couldn't have been done under the standard Marvel imprint though. Kyle Baker's artwork in here is pretty incredible, a surprising choice but a great fit. less
