philrobichaud's review against another edition

3.0

This is the first Deadpool comic written by Daniel Way I've read. Not sure which I prefer between him and Gerry Duggan. I found this version of Deadpool more serious/darker than Duggan's Deadpool but it still had plenty of humour which is pretty much a prerequisite when writing for this character. I think I actually preferred the second story line in this trade book, about a group of flesh eating zombies. The non-linear storyline was an interesting approach, plus who can resist a chair made out of plastic explosives?

Hilarious. Deadpool fights aliens and zombies while miraculously getting out of trouble and never getting paid for his mercenary work

Deadpool!!

I loved Deadpool before the movie came out. I always have. He is such a sassy ass. Deadpool will always get five stars from me, no matter how crappy the storyline!!

2016 review:

I really liked the beginning and the middle of this, but the end just fell flat for me. And I liked the art.

Before watching the Deadpool movie, the anti-hero was always someone I was interested in, but like many superheroes, never looked into them. But after watching the movie (which is one of my all-time favorite movies now), I had to add some Deadpool graphic novels to my list.

Deadpool: Secret Invasion was incrdibly awesome and funny. I loved the dialogue within Deadpool's head. As always, he's so quirky and strange, yet so hilarious. He's simply one of a kind.

I'm so, so happy I've started grabbing graphic novels now. Since my love for superheroes has been reawakened a few years ago, I've been familiarizing myself with the superhero world, but the graphic novels have been helping immensely. Can't wait to read more!

One of the best and, surprisingly, most focused of the Secret Invasion tie-ins, this first volume of Daniel Way's Deadpool is a fun, action packed war against the Skrulls that would be a complete throwaway, except that it's somehow the most important book for setting up Marve's year of Dark Reign. That such a colossal plot point in Marvel history takes place in this silly little side fracas comes completely out of left field (which is also where this story begins).

If you don't like Deadpool books, I don't think this is the one that's going to change your mind but if you think his fourth wall breaking and humor is a good day, often poorly executed, this might be the run to win you over.
