Deadpool Family

deadpool-family-coverIt only took me a couple pages of this one-shot to remember why I stopped reading Deadpool Corps. Sometimes stories featuring these characters can be fun, but sometimes they can be excruciating to read.

The issue is broken into four separate stories surrounding various Corps members. Kidpool attempts to join in on robot fun with the other kids (mildly entertaining), Lady Deapool and Zombie Deadpool go to counseling (I wanted to stab out my eyes), and Deadpool himself is presented in a serious cheap Frank Miller style noir that has far less gravity than it should given the choice of main character and the rest of the antics on display here (all around bad idea).

Although the Kidpool one is passable (barely), the only one of the four stories that I can actually say I enjoyed was the insanity of Dogpool going against Sunny the Sentry Dog, written by James Asmus. Yeah, that was fun. The rest I could give or take (or line a birdcage with). Hit-and-Miss.

Deadpool Team-Up #883

/ / Comics

deadpool-team-up-883-coverSo who’s teaming up with Deadpool this week? A vampire cow? Mexican wrestlers? How about Galactus, the Devour of Worlds? You know, the more insane these get the more I enjoy them.

Out of work and over-his-head in debt, and after being turned down by everyone he knows, the Merc with a Mouth takes a job to be the newest herald of Galactus. Now, you might say Deadpool is uniquely qualified for the job. He certainly loves to create mass chaos and has no qualms about killing, but despite starting out on Galactus’ good graces Deadpool’s antics (and his inability to shut-up) soon wear thin on one of the most powerful figures in the Marvel Universe.

Deadpool also gets a chance to test out his Power Cosmic against that of Galactus’ first herald, the Silver Surfer, who is none too happy with the carnage Deadpool has unleashed. Deadpool might be all over the Marvel Universe, but this is consistently his best book. The final panel alone makes this one worth picking up. Worth a look.

Is that Deadpool, in a tank, chasing a talking gorilla, across an isolated island in the middle of nowhere? Why yes, I believe it is!

Seriously, what else do you need to know? Not enough? Hmm… what if I told you the next scene involves Gorilla Man in a giant suit of armor bashing the tank in and… oh, don’t want to give too much away now do I? (But one scene does involving Deadpool lassoing a pterodactyl).

The latest team-up pits Deadpool and Gorilla Man against each other by a beautiful damsel in distress who, it turns out, may not actually be in distress, or beautiful, or, in fact, a damsel. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

Deadpool gets to meet his hero. And, wait, did Steve Rogers just offer to make Deadpool an Avenger? Okay, a Secret Avenger, but still!? Nah, he couldn’t have. But Rogers is known for looking for the best in people and trying to inspire and rehibilitate them. But this is Deadpool we’re talking about! Well… he did let Moon Knight in on the team. Hmm…

What? Oh, yeah. This issues about terrorists under a mini-mart. Or something.

Deadpool, Secret Avenger. Hmmm…
