by Rick Remender (writer), Mark Brooks (penciller & inker), Andrew Currie (inker), Dean White (colorist), and Cory Petit (letterer) The Story: X-Force heads off to the Age of Apocalypse to acquire the celestial life seed. The Review:  Somehow, Rick Remender has become the 90s guy and in a totally good way.  Once again, by revisiting [...]

Uncanny X-Force #6 – Review

by Rick Remender (writer), Esad Ribic (pencils), John Lucas (inks), Matt Wilson (colors), and Cory Petit (letters) The Story: Fantomex fights to keep the World safe from superpowered Deathloks, but will X-Force bother to save him? Review:  In some ways, this latest installment of Uncanny X-Force is a disappointment.  A big part of what made [...]

Deadpool: Wade Wilson’s War #1 – Review

By Duane Swierczynski (writer), Jason Pearson (artist), Paul Mounts (colors) VC’s Clayton Cowles (letters and production) The Story: Deadpool (outside of the normal Marvel Universe continuity) testifies before a Senate hearing about a secret black-ops mission he participated in 25 years ago. This goes about as well as you’d expect. What’s Good: Well, this is [...]

Deadpool Team-Up #898 – Review

By Mike Benson (Writer), Carlo Barberi (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) The Story: Deadpool and the Luchadore wrestling-masked bounty hunting Zapata Brothers team-up to cash in on a bounty the brothers got screwed over on and Deadpool got whacked with a shovel for. What’s Good: Did you enjoy what Mike Benson and [...]

Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #5 – Review

By Victor Gischler (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Jose Pimentel (Inks), and Matt Milla (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While the rumble in the jungle in Merc with a Mouth has been fun, I’ve definitely had my fill. I look forward to seeing what chaos comes about as Victor Gischler takes his story into space. [...]

Deapool #17 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) The Story: Cyclops sends Domino to do what she can to keep Deadpool from killing Mr. Kincaid. Meanwhile, Norman Osborn relishes watching the mutant’s situation and does what he can to make it even worse. What’s Good And What’s Not So [...]

The Rest of the Stack for the Week of 11-4-09

Deadpool Team-Up #899 By Fred Van Lente (Writer) and Dalibor Talajic (Art) The Story: Deadpool and Hercules, both plagued by nightmares, find themselves trapped in a strange labyrinth created by villains Nightmare and Arcade. The Good And The Bad: The first issue of Deadpool’s new series delivers everything I want from a comic featuring a [...]

Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #4 – Review

by Victor Gischler (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Jose Pimentel (Inks), and Matt Milla (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth is a worthwhile addition to any Deadpool fan’s pull-list. While it isn’t better than the main Deadpool ongoing, Merc with a Mouth delivers fun, (mostly) continuity-free Deadpool entertainment. And that counts [...]

Deadpool #900 – Review

Some Thoughts Before The Review: Deadpool stories by some of my favorite writers?! Needless to say, I have some pretty high expectations for Deadpool #900. “Close Encounters of the F*cked-up Kind” By Jason Aaron (Writer), Chris Staggs (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) The Story: Aliens abduct Deadpool. You probably know what happens [...]

Deadpool #16 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Given how the recent “X” crossovers have turned out, I’m a bit concerned about what’s going to happen to Deadpool now that Wade is headed towards becoming one of the X-Men. Now, granted, I do realize that [...]

Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #3 – Review

By Victor Gischler (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Jose Pimentel (Inks), and Matt Milla (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: There’s definitely room for another Deadpool series. The problem, however, is that Merc with a Mouth just can’t compare with the Daniel Way series. M.w.a.M. is entertaining enough and Bong Dazo is a great fit for [...]

Deadpool #15 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia & Antonio Fabela (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While Shawn Crystal’s work definitely has its merits, I’d be lying if I acted as though I wasn’t pumped for the return of Paco Medina and his art team. The Story: After pondering [...]

Deadpool #14 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Shawn Crystal (Pencils), John Lucas (Inks), and Lee Loughridge (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Piratepool brought the funny last issue. I’m assuming that he’ll do the same in Deadpool #14. The Story: Deadpool, his parrot (Hydra Bob), and his “blind pirate wench” face off against the pirate known as Wackbeard. [...]

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. It’s a bit mindless and rather unnecessary, but at least it’s entertaining. The Story: Deadpool and Spider-Man take on the Wrecking Crew before going after [...]

Deadpool #13 – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Shawn Crystal (Pencils & Inks), John Lucas (Inks), and Lee Loughridge (Colors) The Story: After sinking a nuclear sub that he didn’t know was a sub, Deadpool buys a new boat with all the money he got as a result of the last arc. A new boat means that Deadpool needs [...]

Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #2

By Victor Gischler (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Jose Pimentel (Inks), and Matt Milla (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first issue of Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth wasn’t anything special. That said, it’s kind of cool to have a Deadpool series that’s disconnected from the current Marvel Universe because the character is generally, pretty [...]

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. It isn’t high art or anything, but it’s entertaining. The Story: Deadpool (obviously) recovers from a [...]

Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #1 – Review

By Victor Gischler (Writer), Bong Dazo (Artist), and Jose Pimentel (Inks), and Matt Milla (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Did they really need another Deadpool series? I like the character as much as most people (probably more), but Deadpool is going to turn into the next Spider-Man or Wolverine at the current pace. The [...]

Deadpool #11 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Surprisingly dark, Deadpool #10 was just a (somewhat disappointing) teaser for the Bullseye (Hawkeye)/Deadpool showdown. I fully expect the main event to make up for arc’s lackluster start…. The Story: Bullseye and Deadpool fight. Blood is [...]

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). That said, it’s also been funny, enjoyably crazy, and sure of its target audience. The [...]

Deadpool: Suicide Kings #2

By Mike Benson (Writer), Carlo Barberi (Pencils), Sandu Florea (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I gave the first issue of Suicide Kings a “C-” grade. While not all bad; with the standard setup, inconsistent artwork, and generic plot not exactly winning me over… I wonder if the second chapter of [...]

Deadpool #10 (Dark Reign) – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Deadpool Vs. Bullseye? Sign me up! I can’t wait to tear into Deadpool #10, so I’m just going to get right to it. The Story: Norman Osborn decides to send Dark Hawkeye (A.K.A. Bullseye) after Deadpool [...]

Thunderbolts #131 (Magnum Opus Chapter 4) – Review

By Andy Diggle (Writer), Bong Dazo (Pencils), Joe Pimentel (Inks), and Frank Martin & Giovanni Kosoki (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: For as much fun as I’ve had with the “Magnum Opus” crossover, I’m disappointed by how heavily the story has leaned in favor of Deadpool. While there’s nothing wrong with that in particular, [...]

Deadpool: Suicide Kings #1

By Mike Benson (Writer), Carlo Barberi (Pencils), Sandu Florea (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve made no secret about how much I like Deadpool. In fact, I’ll pick up pretty much anything the character is in. To me, more Deadpool is a good thing (unless, of course, he gets in [...]

Deadpool #9 (Magnum Opus Pt. 3) – Review

By Daniel Way (Writer), Paco Medina (Pencils), Juan Vlasco (Inks), and Marte Gracia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: If you take a minute to check out our “Best and Worst of ’08″ feature, you’ll find that “Magnum Opus” was one of my most anticipated things of 2009. Now, with half of the crossover finished, [...]
