Deadpool #2 Review

DEADPOOL #2
by Brian Poeshn, Gerry Duggan, and Tony Moore

The best new Marvel Now! title double ships this month.  Thank God!

One of the best things about Poeshn and Duggan's Deadpool is that they don't take themselves seriously at all. From making jokes in every panel, no matter how high the stakes are, to their perfect handling of Deadpool, they got the (comedy) goods here. The story continues, as the ghost of Ben Franklin begins to assist Deadpool. This time, Deadpool fights Theodore Rossevelt, which ends hilariously ("You punched me in my President's cabinet!"). The cliffhanger isn't engaging, but I don't mind, since I'm coming back next month either way. 

I can't imagine anyone besides Tony Moore drawing this book. Except for Chris Burnham. The  two artists share an excellent cheesy style that fits into Poeshn and Duggan's "Dark Heroes? !@#$ That Noise!" style. He just lets loose on each panel, cramming them with enough detail to make Grover Cleveland full.

Deadpool #2 is pure win. It's the best book to come out this week which is  why it deserves the score I'm giving it.

STORY: 5/5
ART: 5/5
VERDICT: 5/5
