Cable & Deadpool, Volume 2: The Burnt Offering by Patrick Zircher, Fabian Nicieza
3.0
1) Cable & Deadpool, Vol. 1: If Looks Could Kill ★★★
content warnings: violence, gore, death, use of the r-slur, jokes about eating disorders and sexual assault
representation: pansexual main character
Despite giving them the same rating, I did enjoy this second volume more than the first, largely due to the plot. This plot was much tighter and more compelling, probably because it's almost entirely character-driven, which are my favourite kinds of plots. This is also one of the most well-known Cable & Deadpool plots, with Nathan's Jesus complex and Providence, and for good reason; it's a really damn good storyline.
The characters are still great, but show up kind of inconsistently considering the fact that this is a team-up. Most of the time this felt like a Deadpool comic, with Cable as a major character. Also, this volume is so much gayer than the first and that will always be a plus for me.
This is a really personal thing and I completely understand other people not being bothered by this, but the unnecessary offensive jokes really started to get on my nerves, particularly the rapey jokes towards Domino at the end.
All in all, I'm still hyped to read volume three.
