CAN'T A MERC GET A BREAK? Deadpool is once again fighting for his life when all he wants to do is retire, have a nice time with his daughter and be completely cured of his cancer - is that too much to ask? Maybe not?
Rated T+
The creative team here does a fantastic job of continuing the essence of Deadpool in new and challenging ways. Though there were a few moments that may have been cringeworthy, the issue overall is a hit. Read Full Review
When killing people is your favorite way to deal with problems you are bound to make a few enemies. Violence, one-liners, family, a love story, and all the elements that we have come to know and love about Deadpool are here in Deadpool #8. So can Wade be a father, a mercenary, make a relationship work and get his precious kitty back? Read Full Review
Wong and company are putting Wade Wilson through the hell...of a perfectly normal life situation with friends. Things are wrong, and...inevitably, there IS the sort of life that typically inhabits a superhero comic book, but its nice to see Wong hang the possibility of that in front of Deadpool long enough for him to get a taste of the life he doesnt have. Its a nice little shot at hell for a guy who has a life thats anything but normal. Read Full Review
After a relatively light-hearted first seven issue's, Alyssa Wong's Deadpool series takes an emotional turn with its eighth issue by finally reintroducing Wade's daughter Ellie to the picture. Well, sort of. Read Full Review
Deadpool #8 has an interesting idea at its core about tricking Deadpool into thinking his world is suddenly different. Unfortunately, the idea winds up being a poorly-executed distraction for the issue's lack of story, and the more you think about it, the less this issue makes sense. Read Full Review
This series continues to be the best it's been with this issue. Wade fighting the dream counterparts of Cable, Wolverine, Domino, and Spider-Man was fun to read, especially with his dialogue. Wong has been great at writing his character throughout this run, in my opinion. Plus, we got some nice, more emotional moments such as when Valentine shows that she wants the real Wade rather than what he thinks is the "ideal" version. Plus, we get Wade having to kill his "daughter" when he's forced to confirm that she isn't real. Loving this series so far.
