Deadpool #47

/ / Comics

deadpool-47-coverDeadpool‘s battle with his evil twin comprised of a collection of his former body parts continues. Now that there are two Deadpools, his antics have gotten (even more) out of control. Something has to be done. Enter Captain America.

I’ve stayed out of this Deadpool/Evil Deadpool arc until now, but with Cap’s appearance I decided to give it a try. The early fight between Deadpool and Captain America is actually kinda fun, as Cap doesn’t believe any of the Merc with a Mouth’s nonsense about an evil twin. Deadpool even goes so far as to use Cap’s shield against him.

The rest of the comic about Evil Deadpool taking a job to kill a kid, and regular Deadpool (using his weird-ass logic) deciding to kidnap a totally different kid at gunpoint to draw out both his evil twin and Captain America, is certainly bizarre, but isn’t anywhere near as much fun. Hit-and-Miss.

Justice League International #4

/ / Comics

justice-league-international-new-52-4-coverThe team, split up into pairs, attempted to do reconnaissance and stop the giant menacing robots looming around the world. They were unsuccessful, as was Guy Gardner who attempted a solo run on Peraxxus‘ ship in orbit above the Earth.

Now reunited, the team comes together for one last ditch effort to stop the alien from destroying the planet merely to plunder its remnants. Issue #4 works well, but the story does feel a little drawn out. The story arc could easily have finished by the end of this issue and moved on to new business, like the team members getting better acquainted, in issue #5.

Writer Dan Jurgens does give us some fun moments (hell, he’s even getting me to change my mind about Godiva) and the art by Aaron Lopresti fits the story well, even if Peraxxus’ design is far too reminiscent of Galactus) including a full-page spread of the team jumping back into action. Worth a look.
