Deadpool: Wade Wilson's War Review (Duane Swierczynski, Jason Pearson)


After a particularly nasty blowout south of the border down Mexico way, Deadpool is hauled in front of a US Senate committee where he’s questioned about similar shenanigans he may or may not have been involved in during Reagan’s years. But is Wade telling the truth or just another bunch of tall porky chimichangas…?

Wade Wilson’s War isn’t very good. I liked that Duane Swierczynski blurred the lines between fact and fiction throughout so you can see the differences between reality and what Wade’s distorted perspective look like, and that he left it up to the reader’s interpretation as to whether any of it happened or not.

Except it doesn’t matter whether or not any of it’s real, making it feel even more pointless than it already does given that it’s your usual Deadpool shoot-em-up-athon! It’d help if the story was entertaining but unfortunately it’s mostly not. Wade Wilson’s War turned out to be a fruitless and forgettable one!
