Mike Hawthorne delivers another engaging set of pages with this issue. His work isn't as detailed as some Deadpool artists, but it is energetic, expressive, and cleanly laid out. The writers give Hawthorne plenty of good material to work with, especially as Wade enters the X-Men's Danger Room and waltzes into a Wild West setting. Read Full Review
The inversion spell has produced a really, really fun approach to the series and, thanks to two talented writers and a strong visual team, there's plenty of great laughs to enjoy. The new story isn't all that compelling just yet, but it does make up for a basic story by having some really sharp dialogue, animated visuals, and a lot of pure fun. It seems like the next issue's going to be a blast, but I'm really hoping the story will be able to start adding a little more emotion into the mix. Read Full Review
Forall its comedyand characterization,Deadpool #37 has its share of problems. Even though Bellaire's colors match each settingand mood, Dugganand Posehn switch ita lot. It starts as aholiday superhero caper anda reunion ofsupporting charactersand then turns intoAxis-liteand/or “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” Part 2. This dissonance between eventand character-driven storytelling can definitely be seen in this comic. Luckily, the character side wins,andas someone who hasn't readAxissince the third issue,the plotwasn't confusing and easy to follow. It'sa little constrained byAxis,but Deadpool's new personalityand Jordie Bellaire's colors makeDeadpool#37a pretty good comic. Read Full Review
While the commentary by Red Deadpool on White Deadpool's actions are silly, the reader has a difficult time deciding what they're supposed to feel for the new White Deadpool. Pity? Sympathy? Sadness? Or are readers supposed to think it's silly? Funny? Entertaining? The emotional conflicts arise in this issue of Deadpool seem to get in the way of the storyline at hand – the issues the X-Men and the refugees are facing as a result of AXIS. The reader can only hope that Red Deadpool won't be in the passenger seat acting as commentator much longer and will manage to kick the new White Deadpool to the curb. Read Full Review
Zenpool is a fun read, though it was not as good as it was the previous time.
