Marvel Comics/$2.99
Marvel’s Deadpool
books are known for being crazy, hilarious, and super-violent, making the
character a favorite of both the die-hard Marvel Zombie crowd and the casual
reader. The attention that Deadpool receives is not unwarranted though, as his
ongoing title and spin-off books have been some of the most enjoyable reads in
mainstream comics. Deadpool Kills
Deadpool is no exception.
Issue #1 (of 4), written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Salva
Espin, is one of the best single-issue releases of the week! Non-stop action
and violence peppered with Deadpool’s trademark gags, the setup goes something
like this- A Deadpool from an alternate reality is hunting other Deadpools from
all the other realities in an attempt to rid the multiverse of all the possible
Deadpools in existence. Sound confusing? It’s not, really. It actually makes
sense when read in context. The Deadpool Corps come into our Marvel Universe
looking to find Wade Wilson (our Deadpool, in case you were in the dark) and
enlist his help in ensuring all of the Deadpools’ survival, but as they do, the
alternate Deadpool hunting them all shows up and a battle of the ‘Pools ensues.
Some live, some die, and the ending of the issue kicks off what is sure to be a
classic limited series. Highlights of
this issue for me were seeing Headpool cooked in a microwave, a Motley Crue
reference, and the appearance of Deadpool’s biggest fan, The Watcher!
If you’re a fan of the character, his regular, ongoing
monthly title, or are just looking for something hilarious and twisted to read,
then you simply must check this book out! The writing is great, the art is
awesome, and… it’s Deadpool! ‘Nuff said, True Believers!
