Deadpool Strikes AGAIN!
Deadpool is
back to kill the Marvel Universe AGAIN only from what Ive read so far it
doesn’t seem to be much of a continuation at all from the previous series and
instead more of just a sequel released to squeeze some money out of the loyal
Deadpool fans wallets. So bottom line is it worth watching Deadpool chop his
way through the Marvel Universe yet again? Sit back, relax, and find out as I
spoil all in the coming paragraphs
Our issue
starts off in New Orleans as we witness the aftermath of a murder scene
involving Gambit stabbed through the chest. We then had off to A.I.M. Island
where Deadpool and the Uncanny Avengers are taking on various unnamed A.I.M.
scientists, who have rocket launchers in close quarters, not usually a
successful way to defend yourself in such a situation but when super heroes come
busting down the door grab what you can I guess.
As we
witness the team of heroes take down, in coordinated attacks, everyone around
them Deadpool comes face to face with MODAK and things start to get odd. It
appears MODAK is able to put Deadpool under some sort of Enchantment spell of
sorts (or at least I think he does), however before it takes full effect, and
as MODAK goes on elaborating via monologue, he takes a rocket to the head via
Deadpool.
After a
sudden and wild art change, MODAK with his last breath, ‘seemingly’ calls his
Genetically Modified Avengers to come aid him in Battle as Hand Off Cowgirl, Snarky
Raptor Cheetah, Doctor Voodoo Doll, and Brainwave Ninja all attack
Deadpool. Deadpool begins taking out MODAK’s
squad with little effort, but we start to get the sense (through art and some
story hints) things aren’t as they seem.
When we return
to our normal art style for the series we see the ENCHANTMENT did work and
Deadpool has unknowingly confused who MODAK sent after him for his own team of
the Uncanny Avengers, who are now all dead around him, ala the Old Man Logan series.
A group of Good
Guys try to establish a plan and Moon Knight and others though a series of
clues, start to put toether that Deadpool has gone rouge and started murdering
heroes but is still leaving clues and hints about stating where he is headed
and that he needs help.
We check in
on Deadpool now off to the Aegean Sea as we undergo another art change with
Deadpool confronting a load of ‘gods’ in full Toga gear. Though the clever use
of a Muduesa head, Deadpool freezes all approaching gods in their tracks,
before heading off yet again, as the story begins to wind down.
Our
cliffhanger is a reveal of the bad guys, behind the scenes, who seem to have
coordinated this plan to unleash Deadpool on the world’s heroes. Running the
operation and in cohoots with MODAK from ealier in the story appear to be Red
Skull, Abomination, Magneto, and Dr. Doom as issue one conludes in dramatic
fashion.
Overall
while this wasn’t a bad comic book, it clearly appeals to the true fans of
Deadpool, and its mildly disappointing events don’t pick up from the previous
titled mini-series with this title character. I love how the art changes to demonstrate
the state of mind Deadpool is in and this was the highlight of the first issue
to me. There are some clever jokes and
references in the title but not as many as I anticipated as it has a much
heavier tone than I expected.
Bits and Pieces
Deadpool returns
to kill everyone again and the title doesn’t necessarily feel like a direct
follow up to the initial mini-series its spawned from, just another go around
with the same concept. If you’re a true
red blooded Deadpool fan Im sure this may be something you find enjoyment in
but a casual Marvel reader will get more bang for their buck elsewhere.
6.5/10
