    I've been a fan of Deadpool for quite a while but the first regular Deadpool monthly (besides Cable & Deadpool) I picked up was Daniel Way's series which I think has been a pretty good ride so far with some cool story arcs (Bullseye vs Deadpool probably being my favourite), either way I missed out on Joe Kelly's legendary run and would like to pick up some Trades to catch up with it (and any other "must read" runs people may have done on the character).  Any recommendations?

    Just pick up Deadpool Classic 1-3
     
    Deadpool/Wolverine: Weapon X is a good one too.
     
    C&DP was ok until about the civil war arc.
     
    Hopefully once you see how Deadpool is supposed to be written (pretty much anyone other than way or Scallia) you'll realize that Way is just fucking about with no real point, messing up the character, but thankfully leaving the continuity alone.

    Or alternatively you'll just realise how Bandito is just making a fuzz out of nothing. I suppose it makes his days pass faster.

    @WhoDunnit101: The whole out of character bit, the stories that really go no where, rehashed ideas, nothing new beyond little flashy things that distract people from the non-existent plotholes and plot itself. 
     
    Yeah, i mean, who *wants* a dark and complex character when you can just have mindless fun that doesn't really go anywhere?

    @Capo_Del_Bandito: Yes, the above statement is rather fitting description of the 90's Deadpool. 
     
    When it comes to the comic fans who long for a dark and complex character, they are usually satiesfied as long as any character remains relatively unknown to produce that fleeting moment of prestige when other comic fans fail to recognize the said character.

    @WhoDunnit101: I was satisfied with Simone's take on the character, hell even most of Tieri's. Nicezia started fucking around with his personality and altering his powers/giving him some extra ones.
     
    But really when there is a shit writer doing nothing new and relying on gimmicks (crossovers/voices/Pool-O-Vision) instead of storytelling, then there is something seriously wrong.

    And you can use gimmicks to tell stories. It is the reader's preference whether they like it or not.
