Ocean's Fourteen

Synopsis

Yet another classic Deadpool stunt. He's pulling the good 'ol double-cross heist, this time in Las Vegas. 
 

The Good

The art. Carlo Barberi continues to impress with each passing issue. This is what kept me turning the pages in this book. Hard to have anything bad to say about the art. 

The Bad

Plot. Yeah, it's not really that bad but is just classic Deadpool writing. He gets in on protecting a job then turns on his employers and steals the cash. I totally saw that coming. I guess it's just a rotating plot, the only thing that changes is location and victims. There were also a few corny moments in the book, one in particular was a Karate Kid-esque nose honk at the end. Also, can you have a more intimidating villain? Grizzly? Grizzly? Come on! 
 

Verdict (2.5/5)

With all of the above being said, I'm going to give this one a 2.5 / 5 rating. The art can speak for half of this score because without the art I'd have a hard time reading this book. After a couple of similar ratings from Deadpool books he's coming off of my pull list. In addition, I'm feeling the sting of Deadpool over saturation already. This may also have some influence on my rating.

This issue like the last one does...

I don't know what to think about this issue, I'm really glad that Weasel is returning and that Daniel Way is starting to actually dive more into Deadpool's side characters and understand that it's Deadpool's sidekicks that make him funny and not those silly voices in his head.   THE GOOD  Weasel is like a breath of fresh air to this series, the series was going down hill fast but with Weasel's appearance it's starting to climb in quailty. I'm so glad to see Weasel again mainly because I was afra...
