(In old timey voice over voice):The lackadaisical editor strikes again!!! this book starts out with high aspirations when **SPOILERS** Taskmaster and Evil Deadpool face off in a fight that is equal parts witty repartee and serious booty kicking fighting styles. but then, out of nowhere strikes the lackadaisical editor!!! when he should reduce Taskmaster's banter to a single bubble, or break the text up into two parts, he does the unthinkable and does BOTH!! the line is finished in the first panel, but then, is IMMEDIATELY repeated the same way in the second panel; no context to infer he was repeating himself, the bold and italicized text is even identical, so no emphasis had been changed. This happens four pages in. So it takes a lot for me
to get past it. Once this issue was over, i can say that i objectively enjoyed it. the hillbilly kingpin or whatever was a neat addition (I'm assuming he doesn't actually exist prior to this in Marvel continuity) and the whole "highway heist of a future predicting robot" angle for the story going forward is pretty awesome. i think that could mean some cool, funny stuff going forward for this book, but if there are more editorial gaffes like this, then i am going to have some HARSH words for Deadpool while i continue to read this book. more
