This series of Deadpool seems to be over, but does this mean a reset or will the next Deadpool series pick up with more of the delight that Alyssa Wong has brought us? Read Full Review
Deadpool #10 brings the series and Alyssa Wong's time on the character to a close with an uncharacteristically decent finale. The tone, wit, humor, and sweetness that made issue #1 a surprise came back just in time to say goodbye. That said, it's clear Wong was never a good fit for the character, so it's time to say farewell and move on. Read Full Review
Wade and Valentine make it to a solid happily-ever-after in this humorous, cleanly illustrated final chapter. What's pleasantly surprising is that, with the main couple's resolution being fairly simple, the creators go for extra points by adding a compelling bit of growth for Lady Deathstrike, too. There's even space to rescue the last two Atelier assassins and make them interesting enough that I hope to see them again.
It lands at a positively idyllic status quo, and while I don't expect it to last long when Deadpool gets his next volume, it's a charming place to leave him. And hopefully, the next author will recognize that Valentine is worth keeping around.
While this did feel a little rushed at times, in my opinion, I thought this was a nicely done finale for this series. I really wish this run went on longer, as I was really enjoying it and I thought there was so much more that could be done with the cast available. Nonetheless, this issue is able to wrap things up in a fairly satisfying way. Thinking about these past 10 issues, my biggest complaint of the series is that we didn't get more.
A rushed ending, but Deadpool can't seem to keep a run going anymore no matter who they throw at it. I liked this run overall, it was fun. I think it was a mistake to group it with the Krakoa titles, because it literally has nothing to do with anything else, and that's frustrating when the pretense is that it's inherently involved.
