THE BATTLE FOR PLANET EARTH!
• That escalated quickly.
• Deadpool's got a plan, and those usually work out flawlessly, so everyone, don't worry! Earth is TOTALLY GOING TO BE FINE.
• But, uh, just in case, anyone have an extra spaceship or a teleporter or some interstellar conveyance? I'm sure Deadpool's got it in hand, just, you know, better safe than sorry...
Parental Advisory
Deadpool #3 is what a day in the life of this ***hole looks like when you don't know whether to call him a mercenary or hero after all of this madness. This creative team embraces what shouldn't make sense, what barely does, and the entertainment value in turning the world being your playground. Read Full Review
A solid, slightly nauseating read. There are chunks in the vomit. Read Full Review
If you've been keeping up with this run, or you're looking for an excuse to catch up, this issue is a pretty solid one. Read Full Review
It's near impossible to recommend Deadpool while the superior Deadpool: Assassin is in print. Young clearly misses the target with his jokes and the plot leaves a lot to be desired. If you need a Merc with a Mouth fix grab Assassin and read how Deadpool should be. Read Full Review
Plagued by the same problems of the first two issues- bad dialogue and a poor story- Deadpool #3 continues this series' downward spiral. Read Full Review
Deadpool saves the day and the first story arc unspools at the end like Return of the Kings: Nekkid Merc Edition. There's still a fair serving of quality humor and sick (good sick) art, but the portion's gotten smaller. This issue is leaning too hard too fast into running gag territory; Deadpool's ridiculous stuffed animal underpants have definitely worn out their welcome.
This was okay, but it feels still very try-hard, and for everything I liked there was another thing that had me rolling my eyes.
