Steven M. Bari/Erik Norris Comic Reviews

Overall, I would say Deadpool #1 is a success. Daniel Way broke his track record with this specific reviewer, delivering a comic that I smiled all the way through without any moments of cringing. Paco Medina, and the rest of the art team, had some great visuals to occupy Way's script, the depiction of the Philly Phanatic being one of the book's highlights. And most importantly, Deadpool is back in some form. While the Secret Invasion aspect of Deadpool #1 is a bit off-putting, it still delivers a great introduction to the character. Therefore, just consider these first two issues a defining character study on how whacky and idiotic Deadpool really is.
