Deadpool Max #1



Yet again I find myself reading a new Deadpool series, another ongoing one nonetheless. I feel as though Deadpool is spread to thin, and Marvel just isn’t letting up. But since I am a fan of the character, I thought I would check out the book and give it a chance.

The thing I was most hesitant about when it came to this book was that the art was being done by Kyle Baker, an artist that has a really unique style that I usually do not like at all. And in this case, I thought the art was okay, nothing special, but very unique, not in a bad way though. One thing that I was happy with was the writing since it was done by Eisner award winning artist, David Lapham, it was interesting, it had good momentum, and it all wrapped up in one issue which I always like about a comic because it allows for new readers to join the comic at anytime.

Deadpool #1000


Sadly, it is true. It probably has been roughly 100 issues since Deadpool 900 came out, so of course Marvel thought that it would be awesome to put out a Deadpool 1000. I am not trying to complain, I myself am a Deadpool fan, but I do think that his popularity and Marvel’s obsession with the Merc with a Mouth is getting a little out of hand. Regardless, Marvel put out a great issue with Deadpool 1000, way better than my expectations were set at.

Just looking at this issue caused me to think two positive thoughts. Number one, look at the size of this issue! It’s a HUGE book! And for the cover price of $5, it is definitely worth it. The second thing I noticed was the great wrap around cover by Dave Johnson. I always love seeing his covers, and he never lets me down when it comes to Deadpool (if you haven’t already, check out his connecting covers from Prelude to Deadpool Corps). Then when I opened the issue, I was even more impressed.
