Parental Advisory
Deadpool #4 continues to be a delight, marrying comedy, action, and gorgeous art from beginning to end. The plot reveals here are super intriguing, setting up more mysterious to explore. Read Full Review
Valentine is still great and the series as a whole maintains its charm. Read Full Review
It's also unclear how big of a deal that final-page reveal is given that Carnage (vol. 3) is ongoing, but it should still kick this series into a new gear. Read Full Review
Deadpool #4 is a terrible comic filled with terrible dialog, nonsensical jokes, a paper-thin plot, and character moments that don't make sense for the characters in question. At least the art is good, so that's something. Read Full Review
I honestly don't know why I started picking this series up. I find my patience with Deadpool running short when he's written by anyone less than say, Kelly, Nicieza or Simone, and Alyssa Wong has never been a writer I'd rate so highly. But whatever whim it was that brought me here, it was a good one because this series is all sorts of fun! This is in no small part thanks to Valentine, who's a wonderful foil for Deadpool: grounded, hyper-competent, and both cute and evil in a way that's a delightful mix of anime-style romantic interest and ambiguously malicious supervillain, which is just the right tone for Wade. I don't know if I could disambiguate Martin Coccolo from any number of other realistic-style artists working for the Big Two these more
The plot's a bit of a hot mess, but the humor's solid, the art is gorgeous, and the pace is impeccable. Plus, the mysterious Valentine Vuong is well on their way to "breakout character" status.
Coccolo's art is perfect for this one. I love the body horror aspect of new Deadpool.
Much like the rest of this run, this was a lot of fun. Wong's scripts for Wade are hilarious, and I think she does great capturing his character. Plus, she makes all of the other characters enjoyable as well. I hope we get some more development with Valentine, as she's an intriguing character and there's a hint here that there's more than meets the eye. Coccolo's art was solid here as well. Overall, a fun issue in a really good run so far.
This is a fun time.
