Skottie “Baby Covers” Young takes over Deadpool and a new writer means it’s time for a new number one! Any good? Nah. So the usual for ol’ Wade!
The opening three-issue story had its moments. A giant puking Celestial threatens Earth and only Deadpool can stop it - hah, puke. Tony Stark’s back and forth with Star-Lord via hologram was kinda funny as was the Batman origin piss-take and Wade’s stuffed toy underwears.
Speaking of, the other stories were plain pants. Deadpool takes a job to whack someone in Weirdworld, a place I’ve never liked; there’s a dismal Halloween story about zombies in a mall; and Deadpool feels blue one day just ‘cos and some joke character’s trying to off him. Snores.
This book’s just another example of Marvel not really having the material for this overexposed (in more ways than one!) character. The demand’s there thanks to the movies (which explains why Negasonic Silly Name is shoehorned into this one) but the stories aren’t. Skottie Young tries but it’s still a boring read.
Title’s good though - heh, Mercin’ Hard for the Money! Ain’t that the truth, eh Marvel?
