So, Deadpool lost the money and the contract
from Nick Fury last ish when Norman Osborn stole
the plans that he was going to steal himself. So
Wade called on an old friend, one with a
hairpiece problem and a really hot younger wife,
to get him a job. Turns out the younger wife
went to get some work done and ended up turning
herself into a zombie. Fun! Anyway, Wade does
his usual idiot junk saying he's supposed to
kill the wife in a joking fashion, and he goes
to Transylvania or whatever town/country the doc
happens to reside in and starts his war.
Of course, he previously realized that the
weapons he was carrying felt odd, like the
weight was off in the Liefeldian guns he
carried, and he was right. His new boss was
having him followed by other mercs to make sure
he got the jump done. Being the nutso creep job
Wade is, he offed those guys pretty quickly. And
we're then set up for issue 2 in this run.
What I like about this book is the way Way (ha)
continues to characterize Wade. As a nutjob.
Someone who talks to himself and talks to
himself talking to himself. I was unsure about
it in Origins, but I'm starting to really love
it. Try not to laugh when Wade fashions a chair
out of C4 and is oddly more comfortable in that
then a comfy leather chair. It's odd. When he
sees people in the way that only he can (World's
#2 Grandpa) it's weird, but it works. This is
the kind of crazy that the writers of Moon
Knight haven't been able to find and instead
just make him a sociopath. But Wade seems to
truly have multiple personalities now. It's odd.
The art is great. It's gotten better as the
issues have gone on. Barberi was a worry when I
saw his because his art has always seemed super-manga-y
like Humberto Ramos on speed, so I didn't know
if it would fit here, but he seems to have toned
it down and brought it to another way. He and
Paco almost mesh together here and it's
difficult to tell one from the other. Again, the
hallucinations still don't work for me, but I
can't fault an entire 22 page issue on one panel
(I've done it before though). So still an
overall great issue.
