First bit though, my gripe regarding the
internal monologues in Wade's head and how he
sees things in a warped perception is slowly
creeping to have been fixed. The issue opens
with Wade talking to Nick Fury and there is a
definite change between the art. Granted, it
could backslide if Wade doesn't see everyone as
babies, but for this issue, it works.
Now, the issue itself deals with the aftermath
from the first two. Wade used his DNA to create
Super-Skrulls which then destroyed all the other
Super-Skrulls aboard the ship he was stationed
on, and the lead scientist wants those Super-Skrullpools
to kill Wade. That and the one ugly fire/ice
Super-Skrull still left should lead to a big
nasty fight.
It doesn't. Wade runs away from the fire/ice
Super-Skrull for a little while until he can
properly vanquish him and the Super-Skrullpools
all but kill themselves. In the exposition heavy
sequence, Wade reminds readers and the Skrull-scientist
that his cells constantly regenerate to fight
the cancer that he had. And since the Skrulls
didn't replicate the cancer, those same Super-Skrullpools
would have constantly regenerating cells but
nothing to hold it in check.
In a word, splorch.
And while it's being serious, it knows it's
being serious. And that's how I know this could
be a great book. Way knows not to revel in the
seriousness. Wade is dumb. He's a goofball. And
after the serious tone of the few previous
pages, he knows to sum it all up by breaking the
fourth wall, giving us back the Wade we all know
and love.
It's quite possibly the best tie-in to Secret
Invasion so far. It works as a new way to
re-invent a character and it allows said
character to become something a little different
and a little more advanced for the times. He's
not perfect, and this book has a way to go
before it will be deemed perfect, but it's
awesome. It's fun. It makes you laugh.
And what more could you want?
