The grand finale of DEADPOOL: BLACK, WHITE AND BLOOD includes a Chris Yost and Martin Coccolo story that must be seen to be believed (and even then, you still won’t believe it)… …a story from the best-selling DEADPOOL: SAMURAI manga team, Sanshiro Kasama and Hikaru Uesugi……and an ALL-RED ALLRED tale, written and drawn by Mike Allred!
The best story turns out to be “Cherry,” in which Deadpool accepts a job to deal with creature loose in the one of A.I.M.‘s evil laboratories on a volcano. The monster? A cross between the Kool-Aid Man and a dinosaur which turns out to be far more articulate than you'd expect. Dammit, Karl! Read Full Review
Overall, this is an issue that starts out strong but loses some steam over time, though there is quite a bit of fun to be had. Read Full Review

This is not a bad set of stories to round out this miniseries. The Chris Yost story is my favorite. I thought it was funny. The Deadpool: Samurai story wasn't really worth reading, and the Mike Allred story just looked fantastic.
In the B and C strips, Deadpool says "please buy Deadpool Samurai" and Deadpool gets subjected to some low-calorie X-Statix weirdness courtesy of the Allreds. I wasn't too impressed with those. I dearly love the A strip, though, where Deadpool saves AIM from a deadly copyright-infringing monster. It's an epically stupid idea, but the creators build it out in just the right way to tickle my fancy. It doesn't hurt that Christopher Yost and I apparently have very similar senses of humor.
