• Artist: Rogê Antônio

A new volume of Deadpool begins here with murder, mayhem, and fun. I think Deadpool always works best when he has someone to play off of (other than just his banter to the reader). The new comic finds that character in Deadpool’s symbiote “daughter” Princess who has her father’s taste for bloodshed and murder. The first issue follows the pair around trying to kill their latest target, whose portal ability makes it a bit harder than normal, before teasing us with the introduction of the comic’s first new big bad who is apparently quite interested in the hero’s healing ability.

Deadpool #3 is a weird comic. Deadpool awakes in the apartment of Valentine Vuong who apparently is sweet on both Deadpool and the little Carnage symbiote feeding on him. Red flags, anyone?

The second, which takes up most of the issue, involves Deadpool being kidnapped by the Harrower in an attempt to grow a new Carnage inside Deadpool’s body whose healing properties provide an unique setting for her experiment.

Deadpool: Black, White & Blood #3 offers three more tales of the Merc with a Mouth with this month’s tales bringing the crazy and absurd. “The Worst Convent in the World” is the wackiest of the three tales in which Deadpool takes a job to deal with some cartel gunmen causing trouble for a local hotel leading him to a convent of Nazi skinhead nun drug dealers with assault rifles who are holding the penguin he accepted as payment. 

Both Deadpool and Bullseye are hired for an assassinations and fight through ninjas, sharks with freakin’ lazer beams mounted to their heads, diseased monkeys, and zombies in “The Bet” which includes a surprise appearance of another Marvel character. And in “The Perfect Ones” Usagi Yojimbo creator Stan Sakai shows us how Deadpool found his perfect weapons.
