Deadpool assists the Skrulls in the Skrullmageddon. Is he really actually helping them?

Commentary:
If you don't want to spoil the experience, you may want to stop here. If not, carry on my wayward son.

This book completely does away with all the complaints I had about the last issue and solidifies itself as a very strong competitor for favorite interpretation of this character.

And I love Deadpool.

I was worried last issue because it didn't seem like good old Wade. Yes, he was still crazy, yes he was still a nutjob with a gun and swords, but throwing him headlong into the Skrullocalypse seemed like a bad fit.

But this issue works. Way has grasped the voice of Wade that he had during the Origins story and has made him even more crazy. He is having a conversation with 3 parts of himself all at once (and the writer doesn't inundate us with this).

He mocks Rob Liefeld. He mocks the Secret Invasion. He mocks the Skrulls and everything they stand for.

And they actually believe that he could lead an army of Super-Skrullpools when in all reality he is just using them to kill the Super-Skrulls already there.

It's pretty genius, and it leads to some really great moments in this book.

This is a book to watch. When Wade says Holla atcha boy, I laughed at loud. Especially since it was said to Nick Fury who is a regular pain in the Marvel-verse. And the one brief moment they incorporated Wade-vision (that's what I'm calling the inner moments) it did look a little different, the color and digital techniques were amped up. And it provided a real BWA-HA-HA moment.

That's right kids. Bwahaha is back. And you thought it was dead.

Check this book out for some good stuff. Way and Medina are on the ball with this issue and the zany factor really makes this a quick, fun read. Check it out and enjoy what is one of the best Secret Invasion tie-in books so far (and it doesn't even feature the trade dress).
