Might As Well Have Been An Issue Of Deadpool Team-Up.
Oh boy where to start.
Well first off all, this isn't as bad as some of Daniel Way's other stuff. I'm not a huge hater of Daniel Way (I enjoyed the Vampire arc, The Bullseye arc, and his Wolverine Origins arc) but I do dislike most of his stuff. Although he has really gotta get rid of those voices....in fact 90% of the time the voices could easily be replaces with an Internal monologue and we'd still get the same effect.
This book however just wasn't really all that interesting. I think Bong Dazo's art was the best part. Bong Dazo has this great cartoony style that fits Deadpool down to a tee, I'll buy anything with his name on it. It's just a feast for the eyes, and I love it.
The story however isn't that good. I only chuckled once and that was when Deadpool realized he was in a flashback. I can't remember the last time Deadpool broke the forth wall in Daniel Way's book, so it was nice seeing that happen. Although I haven't read the last two issues so I don't know if he's just getting back into the forth wall jokes or if it's just been that way for a while.
Although the story it just kinda goes nowhere, and serves no purpose. I don't know if every .1 issue has been like that, but I don't like it. I strongly believe that you can't tell a good enough story in just one issue. You need at least two to get everything you need. One issue stories always seem to be cramped together, or missing something important like character development or tension.
One issue stories can only work when it's just good old fun but good old fun can only get you so far. Daniel Way lives off stories that are supposed to be good old fun, and that's not good when you're writing an ongoing. We need some character driven stories, and we need some quickly.
This wasn't a terrible issue, it certainly isn't as bad as the Hit-Monkey arc or the Pirate arc but I want something more from a Deadpool ongoing.
