I Almost Hate This Issue
I hate Deadpool in this issue. What an effing moron. Sure, the book is supposed to be a fun send-back to the 1970s, but it is too much. Not almost too much; it is too much. The afro, the wanton beatings, the maniacal motives. Meh. I know it is kind of a spoof/parody, but it completely ignores the fact that Deadpool wasn't Deadpool in the 70s. Fanboy rage has me crying about continuity.
The art, however: Wow. Like the last throwback issue, the pages are made to look vintage (despite the glossy sheen). The colors are spotted, outside the lines, and fantastic. And Carmelita Camacho? Yes, I'll take a Latin beauty that looks like the Little Mermaid and the libido of Austin Powers.
The book is just gorgeous to look at. It is just far too bad that Deadpool has to be in it.
(And Iron Fist is the best straight man. Just saying.)
