![]() ![]() This collection represents the first appearances of Deadpool: first in non-Deadpool series', like New Mutants and later in his own series. There’s a lot of comic talent involved in the creation of the stories that make up this collection, and it’s always fun to watch Joe Mad throw down some bee-yoo-tee-ful pictures, but other than the spark of life in the Joe Kelly-penned final issue of the collection, this is disappointingly pedestrian (sort of like me). I do find the idea of Deadpool-a murderous mercenary whose healing powers keep the cancer that’s eating his body at bay, but with the side of effect of making him one hideous, giant, repulsive tumor, and who cracks wise even as he finds, distressingly for him, that he might have a moral center after all-intriguing, but it’s almost like he’s more fun conceptually than he is to actually spend time with (sort of like me). But, reading this collection-some issues of which I read lo those many years ago when they were first released-I just can’t work up more than a “meh” shrug in response. ![]() ![]() And, here and there, in small doses, I find him mildly entertaining. Okay, I admit it-I just don’t dig Deadpool all that much. ![]()
