DEADPOOL #1
by Brian Poeshn, Gerry Duggan and Tony Moore
MARVEL NOW! kicks off with a sleeper hit just unexpected as Animal Man was for the New 52.
The premise of the book is simple: SHIELD wants Deadpool to stop the Zombie President Apocalypse. Why? Because they don't want the public to see like Captain America murdering Harry Truman. And it works. It's hilarious, violent, and some of the most fun you can have reading a comic book. Poeshn and Duggan have a better grip on Deadpool than I've seen from Jeph Loeb, Daniel Way and Rob Liefeld... COMBINED. They write him as a hero that none of the heavy hitters want to be seen teaming up with. Also, the plot of the book chugs along at a pretty good pace, and it ends with the most ridiculous, and over the top ending ever! Three words: Lincoln. Gun. Headshot.
Tony Moore's art looks as good here as it did in the first six issues of the Walking Dead. His exaggerated and loony style is crucial for the book. I don't think an artist with a style that's even remotely serious fits this book. I'm pretty sure Moore had a lot of fun littering this book with little easter eggs that history buffs will enjoy.
I can't believe it. Deadpool #1 is so much better than Uncanny Avengers #1, it's hard to put into words. BUY THIS BOOK. Or FDR is going to wheelchair you to death. Yes, wheelie.
STORY: 4.5/5
ART: 4.5/5
VERDICT: 4.5/5
