The Blurb On The Back:
He’s the Marvel Universe’s Merc With A Mouth! As quick with a pistol as he is with a one-liner!
Fan-favourite writer Daniel Way brings the crazy with his character-defining run on the Crimson Comedian, the Regeneratin’ Degenerate, the Asinine Assassin … Deadpool!
The X-Men’s favourite frenemy, Deadpool straddles the line between hero and villain, sanity and insanity. So when a Skrull invasion force lands on Earth, it’s anyone’s guess which side the unpredictable Wade Wilson will join! The wisecracking, gun-toting, one-man army single-handedly saves a baseball stadium full of fans from a Skrull attack - and promptly surrenders to the invaders, leaving everyone scratching their heads.
Deadpool infiltrates the Skrull ranks - and through all the allegiance swapping, back-stabbing and mental instability, he tries to make good on a contract and get PAID! But all hell breaks loose when the objective is compromised and his big, fat pay check gets cancelled. Wade sets out to settle the score - even if that means he has to fight his way through Norman Osborn’s new team of Dark Avengers, made up of the Marvel Universe’s greatest villains in disguise.
And as Deadpool storms his way to the top of Avengers Tower, Osborn goes all in and deploys his bloodthirsty black-ops team of assassins, the Thunderbolts! Plug up your ears, kids - it’s gonna get loud!
Plus: Two men who can’t die slice one another to ribbons and then blow those ribbons up with lots of explosives as Wolverine and Deadpool hash out their differences in a showdown for the ages!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
This is a blackly hilarious, highly violent collection of 3 comics featuring Deadpool - Wolverine: Origins #21-25 by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon; Deadpool #1-12 by Daniel Way, Paco Medina and Carlo Barberi; and Thunderbolts #130-131 by Andy Diggle and Bong Dazo. The book contains a useful summary of Deadpool’s history that explains the interlocking storylines but I got lost at points due to backstory and confusion about which panels to follow.
