DANIEL WAY Deadpool #1-63, #33.1, #49.1 (2008-2012), Thunderbolts #1-11 Artist Collaborations: Paco Medina, Carlo Barberi, Shawn Crystal, Tan Eng Huat, Bong Dazo, Sheldon Vella, Salva Espin, John McCrea, Ale Garza, Filipe Andrade, Steve Dillon, Phil Notoĭaniel Way is a unique case where he came in hot and just didn’t know when to quit. I also roll my eyes that Lady Deadpool’s scarred appearance got fixed and she became hot for no reason. A team where everyone is a variation of the comic relief (and Gischler never decides to ever get deep within the character) is flawed and the constant Rob Liefeld art doesn’t help. The only thing worse than Deadpool in space is a bunch of Deadpools in space. Really rough.ĭeadpool Corps simply didn’t work. That period of time when Kyle Baker was doing all his comic art in Poser was a dark time for comics. If anything, at least the Kidpool one-shot had some great laughs. This was a mixed bag if ever there was one.
#DEADPOOL 1 COMIC SERIES#
That series led straight into Prelude to Deadpool Corps. As a plus, Gischler introduced Lady Deadpool. There are some good gags and it plays well with the Marvel Zombiesuniverse before that continuity had completely wore out its welcome. It felt like a fill-in arc was given its own separate series and an extension, for better and for worse. Merc with a Mouth didn’t set the world on fire, but it was decent enough for what it was. VICTOR GISCHLER Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #1-13, Prelude to Deadpool Corps #1-5, Deadpool Corps #1-12 Artist Collaborations: Bong Dazo, Kyle Baker, Rob Liefeld, Das Pastoras, Whilce Portacio, Philip Bond, Paco Medina, Marat Mychaelsĭuring the period when Deadpool was all over the place in the late-00s, Gischler was given two ongoings to write: Merc with a Mouth and Deadpool Corps. When you can do an emotional scene with Bullseye, of all people, you’ve done something right. I will give him credit for the heartbreaking and wordless funeral issue. X no matter how cool and badass you swear he is. Nobody cares about your pet character Mr. Tieri chose to not only not leave well enough alone by retconning that retcon and showing that Deadpool’s the real Wade Wilson, but he did it in a way that was, once again, completely nonsensical.ĭon’t even get me started on his Deadpool Team-Up issue. Okay, so Joe Kelly’s legendary run ended with this reveal that Deadpool isn’t actually Wade Wilson, but a merc named Jack who killed the real Wade Wilson and took his name while the original was reborn as the villain T-Ray. It could have worked, but just fell apart, especially with the ending that to this day makes no sense. It ended with Deadpool’s death and led to a Death and Return of Superman parody (where he’s replaced by a superhero, a lunatic, a murderous vigilante, and…basically The Miz). The first one had Deadpool join a reformed Weapon X alongside Sabretooth and some less-than-important teammates. Tieri had some good ideas that just didn’t land.

It’s taking every bit of willpower for me not to flip over a table just typing that out. Then we see that he’s Michael Jackson and proceeds to dance around, punching bailiffs, all while singing “Poker Face.”
#DEADPOOL 1 COMIC TRIAL#
Deadpool is testifying at a trial and removes his mask as a horrifying cliffhanger deal. Wade Wilson’s War sticks in my mind because it happens to feature what may be the most painfully unfunny moment in my comic-reading experience. Honestly, the only decent part I can recall coming out of Deadpool in this mini is when he played air guitar on his katana. And it’s not like it was some obscure part of his history like it is now. You know, the guy who murdered Copycat, love of Wade’s life, that one time. His frenemy history with Bullseye is played up, but Rodi chooses to completely ignore the major bad blood between Deadpool and Sabretooth. By completing the mission, he would be given information on her whereabouts.ĭeadpool’s relationships with the rest of the team are rather odd. Deadpool’s in it because of his never-before-mentioned-and-never-again-mentioned ex-wife Gretchen.
Deadpool, Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Bullseye, Sandman, and Vulture are forced to work for a Kaiser Soze ripoff for various reasons. Identity Disc is Usual Suspects, but with Marvel villains. A miniseries that appeared to only exist because DC had a pretty high-profile book with “Identity” in the title at the time.
