This is going to be as honest of a review as I can possibly get.
Art:
First thing you will notice is that the art is quite nice in the initial pages of the comic. The variant covers are all quite amazing. However this is mismatched with the quality of the story.
Story/Dialogue:
The dialogue is a banter between a playful deadpool and a stern and serious Batman. The story, after the first few pages, became increasingly rushed until the main climax of the story is rushed through and abruptly ended.
It is at this point that you should quickly realize that the ENTIRE appeal of the comic (nothing more, according to the writers, based off of what they DIDN’T do with the story) is that dead pool annoys Batman. Dead pool talks over the villains. Dead pool steals all of Batman’s thunder. Nothing ever bad can happen to dead pool. Dead pool always has to be the cool funny one. It’s so shallow and it sucks up all of the air from anything action packed or cool.
It’s not that comics can’t be funny, it just can’t be a replacement for an interesting story.
Overall rating: It is bone dry. I firmly believe that after you spend several dollars on this, that you most likely will not want to read the next one in the series. For that reason I give it 4.5 out of 10.
Thank you for reading my review and I hope this helps you if you’re on the fence.
