I strongly urge all Marvel fans to at least give Deadpool #1 a look. The book does a nice job reintroducing a fan-favorite to the masses, and the it's refreshing and unique despite the fairly predictable Secret Invasion framework.

The bottom line is that this is a great change of pace as far as Secret Invasion tie-ins. I'm pretty much ready to get along with the main event into its aftermath, and this at least breaks up the constant dread and doom each Invasion issue seems to bring. Bring on the silly! The one thing to watch for the future is how effectively Way manages to play Deadpool's personality off of others. The book works when the chemistry is right, and Way will need a decent-sized cast to get things rolling on the right notes. We'll see how that works as time goes on. For now, I'm ready for some mascots and general insanity... and I'd really like to hear Wade's thoughts on the Skrulls being turned into cows. Read Full Review

I was honestly worried that Deadpool would be portrayed as a bumbling idiot, especially with his P.O.V (Pool-O-Vision) and multiple voices. It is refreshing that he comes off as competent, deadly and a bit unstable. We also receive very little insight behind his actions up until the very end of the issue. It makes for a great cliff hanger but also makes the book feel like a light read. A double sized issue would have given us a better rounded story. At least Marvel recognizes this shortcoming and is publishing the next issue in two short weeks. Read Full Review
