Parental Advisory
Deadpool #4 brings plenty of uniquely stylized action, but it's also focused on an actual emotional goal for Wade Wilson, which is something you just don't see all that often. It's not perfect, but it's a great look for the character. Read Full Review
Deadpool #4 was every bit as chaotic and entertaining as I was hoping. But more than that, it added weight and import to everything that Deadpool and the monsters have gone through up to this point. It gives us hope for what can potentially follow, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing that. Read Full Review
This is a great issue. I'm surprised to be able to say that after the last 2 but it is. The story in it isn't anything amazing but it doesn't have to be since it's just a big fight. The art is way better than it has been in the past issues and there's some great character work done with Wade and Kraven here. It's definitely worth picking this one up. Read Full Review
"Deadpool" #4 gives the opening arc of the series an entertaining and satisfying end. Read Full Review
We finally get the big throw down between Deadpool and Bootleg Kraven, and while it delivers some glorious moments to be sure, it doesn't quite hit the highs established by previous issues. Read Full Review
this was a very fun read as a deadpool book should be i continue to be impressed with how well kelly thompson writes deadpool's dialog it's spot on
I'm really enjoying this run. Having read some classic Deadpool recently, I can say that this run is actually doing a good job in regards to Deadpool.
This is a really nice comic.
Deadpool whales on Kraven for a while and then gets saved by the return of his Guard. He has a crisis of faith, but Elsa talks him into not abdicating. Holding onto the "King of Monster island" status quo is the right choice. The most impressive thing about the writing is how these first four issues have been big-picture orchestrated. Kelly Thompson guides Wade through an organic shift from "wacky hijinks" Deadpool to "compassionate anti-hero" Deadpool without losing the funny along the way. Plus, the fine fit between this issue's content (lots of monster fighting) and the artist's tastes finally delivers some visuals I can appreciate.
This series is pretty good. I wouldn't say sooooooo good. But the story/plot is pretty decent. I think Kelly Thompson does a good job doing Deadpool and the overall sarcasim of the comic. And I'm also a fan of Chris Bachalo and I do enjoy what he's doing here. Not his best work but still good.
Prelude:
Deadpool fell a bit short last issue, so let's see if this one can improve on that.
The Good:
I'm still interested in this direction especially as Wade is embracing it.
Some cool set-ups.
The Bad:
Art is still not working for me.
The fight wasn't too captivating.
Conclusion:
It's passable but that's mostly on the premise and the promises it's been setting up.
