The new series finds its stride early in Deadpool #2, taking the wildly fun concept established in its opening to new depths with the help of a couple of well known Marvel characters, proving this isn't just another irreverent Deadpool series! Read Full Review

It's an interesting premise to begin with" Deadpool as king of, well, anything. King of Monsters perhaps seems about right. The issues raised in this comic and the direction it's heading look to do what I really like about Deadpool comics" they can play the humour card left right and center, but at the same time cover some pretty serious issues.

It's fairly good and captures the essence of Deadpool well, but it kind of reads all over the place and it can be quite messy. Maybe that's simply because Deadpool is all over the place. However, I will continue reading the series because I loved the first issue, and the second issue was still enjoyable. If you're a fan of Deadpool, you should definitely read this new installment.

But, Wade has a separate &^%*storm on his hands, thanks to Elsa Bloodstone and Dollar Store Kraven. Which might mean Deadpool #3 will have a lot of action. Read Full Review

Kraven the Hunter as a villain is an interesting choice here, and so far I'm still waiting on the big hook to really draw me into this conceit. That said, everything else is just so delightful, and I still can't get enough of it. Read Full Review

While this new series nails the Merc with a Mouth, it could set itself up for a future tumble. Read Full Review

The artwork for the busier panels could be better and the humour wasn't to my taste but the story in this issue is interesting and the character work was on point. A decent issue overall. Read Full Review

I probably didn't like this as much as issue one, which is ironic given that critics are far more positive about this issue. (What does that tell you, huh?) This issue wasn't bad though, it was still good. But not on the same level as issue one, is all.

Prelude:
Thompson started Deadpool off to a good and interesting start in it's first issue. Let's see how it goes here.

The Good:
I liked Steve's speech

The novelty is still interesting.

The Bad:
Not a fan of the art.

Conclusion:
It's good but nothing overtly great. I'm warming up to the key premise but it still needs to utilise it more effectively to retain my interest.

I love everything about this except the art. I Can't Even with these visuals. There are a few nice Mignola-esque drawings, but I'm struggling to think of another comic that fails so hard at panel-to-panel visual storytelling. There's no clarity, no flow -- the (great) words carry the pictures in a way that makes a mockery of the medium.

Meh.

Some of the humour works but most of it just doesn't appeal to me as it's just a bit too cutesy-pie millennial for my taste.

Bachalo's panels are very busy and I'm still having trouble discerning what's going on most of the time.

The story is very simple but has potential to be interesting.

Hope the art improves and that Thompson's version of Wade doesn't just remain a wittering nitwit.

There is just so much missing here. The art is some of Bachalos worst in my opinion. I think he is an incredible artist, but with both issues created so far it feels like he pumped them out on his way to the airport on his Ipad. There are some panels where we are so close to Deadpools face that the book feels claustrophobic; especially with so many monsters crammed into every panel. The monsters look lame too. On a more positive note I did enjoy the scene with Steve Rogers and I felt I understood what Thompson as a writer was doing with her Deadpool at that moment. This style of humor mended best in that moment and I like the whole A-Hole attitude is sort of refreshing. It would be nice to see Deadpool more Aggressive and Formidable rather then a rehashed joke. For me that is somewhere I hope this series takes the Merc with a Mouth. more
