DEADPOOL ON THE HUNT!
Deadpool's carving a path through the Wakandan wilderness on the hunt for Vibranium! And his missing right arm! The Black Panther proooobably should be watching him. But T'Challa's mind is distracted with the possibility of a revolutionary new technology. One that could change the world...starting with Wakanda. But there may not be a country to revolutionize if Deadpool goes unchecked. Will the king and the sometimes-hero reach an accord, or is this a fight to the death?
Parental Advisory
Ricardo Lpez Ortiz really heightened this experience and honestly I'm down for the cause. If there is one thing I appreciate about comic artistry is its ability to align with content and push the narrative in other directions. Words are beautiful but if we just wanted words we'd read a novel. Oritz matches the messiness of the relationship with the strokes. Read Full Review
Before any of that happens, though, he and Black Panther have to team-up against Jack O'Lantern. Though I don't know why they need to team-up to take him down, he's not exactly Thanos. Read Full Review
T'Challa and Wade got off to a rocky start. This madness continues as Wade comes on back to face off against T'Challa after running afoul of some poachers and arms himself for the big fight. Science, jokes, poaching, and holograms are abound as we go into the second installment of this mini-series for the ages. If you're down for the laughs and T'Challa's trademark stoicism, pick up Black Panther vs. Deadpool #2. Read Full Review
This is a crossover absolutely worth checking out. Read Full Review
While there is plenty of good material, there are a few stumbling blocks along the way that stop it from being great. Read Full Review
Black Panther vs. Deadpool #2 may offer some clever fourth-wall breaking humoronly possible with Deadpool's presence but Ortiz's messy artwork and the way the story stumbles at the end of this chapter ruin the reading experience of what could have been an epic team up. The two heroes may have successful blockbusters this year but if you think we'll eventually get a crossover movie with the pair in the future, they would need to come up with something better.

This is how I like my Deadpool written, take notes Gerry Duggan. I've also decides that I love this artist, it's so expressive and full of life. The layouts are good too, they really sell the humor, especially the "dramatic music!" part.
Wade re-enters Wakanda for the contractually-obligated misunderstanding brawl before he and T'Challa can team up. The script strikes an excellent balance between Deadpool's absurdity and the Panther's pomposity; the combination works where neither could stand on its own. The art is still sketchy, but it's also still packed with vibrant details that disprove any assertion that it lacks effort.
Not as good as the first issue, but within all the meta that's started to falter Kibblesmith shows that he understands these characters and their voices.
This was cute and I mostly enjoyed it.
