The Rogue Peanut Gallery
The story continues, the fights continue, nose are bitten off.
Okay, this issue is really worth buying simply for any scene Deadpool is in, not the pages with Tombstone or anything else. I loved the first few pages because:
- The opening pages parodies Marvel's Wonder Wizard of Oz series, Deadpool as Dorothy, Spider-Man as the Scarecrow, The Punisher as the Tin Man & Daredevil as the Cowardly Lion (some of you will get that right away). And the Punisher blows a munchkin's head off.
- Deadpool runs down Spider-Man's rogue gallery, like Vulture being like 90 and then calls him Mr. Overexposed. I got a laugh out of it.
The rest of the issue was pretty forgettable for me and I may be giving this issue more credit then it's due, but it's part 4 of 5, so I guess a strong beginning and ending is hard to have. I mean, after Deadpool gets his head blown off at the end of the last issue, how do you top that?
Pick it up if you've been following the mini-series, but not if you are new to the series.
