• Steve Rogers is Captain America, the bastion of all that is good.
• He's the kind of paragon who Deadpool could really take a lesson from.
• I'm not caught up on his recent comics, but I can't imagine anything could change that.
Parental Advisory
In the end, Deadpool #27 does what any crossover tie-in issue was supposed to do. It gets us excited to see what's coming up next. Read Full Review
I don't regularly collect "Deadpool" because I find it to be wildly inconsistent, and I usually get my fill of the character from "Uncanny Avengers" and "Spider-Man/Deadpool." But I picked this up because I am fascinated with the world of Steve Rogers and the build up to "Secret Empire." And as a prelude to that, this issue delivers. I am still shocked when Cap behaves immorally, but this issue shows that the Hydra version will do whatever it takes to protect his agenda. Deadpool is almost the 3rd most important character here, after Rogers and Phil Coulson, who provides a good turn, especially at the end. The art was not quite up to standards, but Gerry Dugan's plot carried the weight.
Pretty damn good comic.
Phil Coulson watches Steve Rogers handle some very suspicious time-travelers with Deadpool's help. As Secret Empire #-1 starring Phil Coulson, this isn't a half bad comic. As a part of Deadpool's ongoing story it's a hot load of nonsense, though. Deadpool is a star exhibit in the case against double-shipping. It feels like story, art, and characterization have all been compromised significantly to pump out more issues faster.
