Deadpool: Suicide Kings #5 – Review

By Mike Benson & Adam Glass (Writers), Carlo Barberi (Pencils), Sandu Florea (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Suicide Kings is a fun Deadpool team-up story.

Deadpool: Suicide Kings #4 – Review

By Mike Benson & Adam Glass (Writers), Carlo Barberi (Pencils), Sandu Florea (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Deadpool: Suicide Kings is a fun, tasteless, gratuitous romp through the seedier side of the Marvel Universe.

Deadpool: Suicide Kings #3

By Mike Benson & Adam Glass (Writers), Carlo Barberi (Pencils), Sandu Florea (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: So far, Suicide Kings has been generic, dumb, immature, and gratuitous (in terms of both violence and sexuality).

Deadpool #4 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Carlo Barberi & Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inker), and Marte Gracia & Raul Trevino (Colorists) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Fresh off an incredibly entertaining Secret Invasion launching point, Deadpool #4 marks the true test of whether or not the “merc with a mouth,” has the power to carry his [...]
