Cullen Bunn writes a better Deadpool, I think.

I liked this. Is that vague enough? Wasn't phenomenal, but definitely fun and enough to make me want to read more.

More or less what I expected: quirky, self-referential, fun, graphic (a little over the top), and a generally interesting read. Not amazing, but certainly entertaining and definitely worth the read for anyone who can handle the content.

This was pretty good! Deadpool is hilarious, and the story was interesting. Will definitely continue, hoping it gets better from here.

I wouldn't say I loved this one but I definitely liked it.

Posehn and Duggan's writing actually made me laugh out loud at times, especially with that elephant pun and the Smiths reference.
As most comic readers will know Deadpool, for the most part, is a form of comic-relief in the marvel universe but throughout this comic I saw hints of something deeper and kind of cynical about Deadpool that really attracted me to his character, especially towards the end of this volume.

I also have to give props to Tony Moore as the art throughout the volume truly captured the ridiculousness of the storyline and the gore was brilliantly graphic as classic Deadpool should be.

I would recommend this comic to fans of Deadpool or comic readers looking for some light hearted humour; though if you are looking for something a little more serious I wouldn't say this is for you.
