    wow, what a surprise!

    Seriously what a surprise, when I heard that this was coming out i was a bit skeptic. The idea of a whole team of Deadpool's didn't appeal to me mainly because I was worried that the Deadpool we know and love would become overshadowed by one of the other members. Well I got to admit this book was freaking hilarious!!!
     
    One moment involved The Deadpool Corps outsmarting the Champion which had actually had me laughing out loud. that is not a figure of speech, I actually let out a huge laugh. Victor Gischler really shows how well his comedic timing is when it comes to writing comics with that one scene. 
     
    All versions of Deadpool are very similar but at the same time have their difference, which I give credit to Gischler for capturing that so well. Kidpool (Nicknamed "Tito" by Deadpool) is a bit of a whiny little brat, Lady Deadpool is a bit of a sassy woman, and Dogpool is just plain brain dead. That gives the characters some differences to follow and work off of, rather then all of them just acting the same. Their alternate versions of the same guy but that doesn't mean they are all actually the same guy.  
     
    My only real complaint is the artwork....Rob Liefeld is trying the best, and while his style is actually very recognizable, his inability to draw a proper human body is a bit of a problem. I actually liked the artwork from the back-up story more than the artwork from the real story....*sigh*....I don't want to bash Rob Liefeld, he certainly isn't the worse artist out there. Kyle Baker's artwork is actually more repulsive. 
     
    Overall, It was a huge surprise, I was expecting to hate it when comparing it to Deadpool MWAM (The best series we've got right now) but I actually enjoyed it. Thanks Gischler for the surprise, and a pretty damn good issue.

      Why Is An Image Of Beyonder Stuck In My Head? 0

      The past couple of years, well, since right around Secret Invasion, we've been hit over the head, again and again, with Deadpool. I went into this book with low expectations. I wasn't sure if I needed to read the Prelude to Deadpool Corps to understand this, and I didn't know how many pages I'd get through before becoming annoyed. This issue featured two stories: One featuring the Deadpool Corps, and the other story featured Deadpool at a shrink. The Good I'll admit it. I like Rob Liefeld's a...

      CHAOTIC! But still good 0

      Now, I;m going to start off by saying I HATED THE IDEA OF THIS COMIC WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF IT! A TEAM OF DEADPOOLS! IS AXEL ALONSO NUTS?  Then I read the prelude issues and guess what, the corps is constructed of some pretty interesting characters.  Lady Deadpool reminds me of the Joe Kelly days.  Kidpool is interesting... though I don't quite understand him.  Dogpool was a huge surprise. I thought I'd hate him for sure... but his origin is so creative. I instantly fell in love with the mut.  He...
