dmstarz's Deadpool #1 - One of Us, Part 1: One of Us review

Deadpool 1

As much as I hate disagreeing with my good buddy, inferiorego, I must confess that I was really quite disappointed in this issue.  I'm not a big Cable fan and I hadn't read any of the early Deadpool series, but from what I had heard, I liked the idea of the unhinged, possibly schizophrenic hitman, with the inner dialogues and hallucinogenic visions.  I quite liked his tussle with Wolvie in Wolverine Origins.  But there, as here, my worst fears were confirmed regarding writer Daniel Way.  Now it's not that I think Way is a bad writer, it's just that he's a minimalistic style of writer, he likes the visuals to tell the story.  There's nothing wrong with that but, for me, it leads to an unsatisfactory reading experience - you feel a little short changed.  I'm hoping it picks up.  Like the other reviewers, I picked this up with the hope of madcap, comedic adventures so more of that and I will be very, very happy.

Then there was 9 pages on the history of Deadpool. That's nice and all, but I'd rather have 9 more pages of Deadpool hallucinating as he fights Skrulls. The main reason I picked this b...

In This Issue: It's Deadpool versus the Skrull invasion! (With a little bonus "Deadpool Saga" at the end.)  Writing: Daniel Way's writing definitely hit Deadpool on the head for me.  This is one of those characters that you just can't take too seriously in the Marvel U.  The two (or three if you count his actual word balloons) voices in his head was hilarious.  One thing that I thought was a little out of place was the hallucination he has at the beginning of the book.  I don't want to sound lik...
