Seriously, Marvel! You want to cancel this wonderful book and replace it with Cable? I'm a big Cable fan, but I never thought the character was solid enough to carry his own book (even though it lasted over 100 issues). Having both Cable and Deadpool in one book makes perfect sense. It always brings that perfect balance of funny and serious.
Now I see what Deadpool is going to do. This is Marvel's answer to Booster Gold! How fucking awesome would that be to have Deadpool travel back in time and mess up events in Marvel history! I'm sold; here is my 2.99 take it now. Having saved the world from Hydra, the Penetraitor's damaged armor caused a hiccup of sorts, in time last issue. It took Deadpool and Bob Agent of Hydra, and leaves them in the midst of World War II, just in time to team up with Captain America and Bucky on the trail of the mad scientist Arnim Zola. Deadpool is excited to be working with the living legend, while Bob finds himself torn between his Hydra training focusing his hatred on Cap and the fact that Captain America is just fucking awesome. I found it funny to see how Bucky was acting more like Winter Soldier than Bucky. Perhaps Deadpool going back made Bucky become the Winter Soldier. Man, I really am sold on this idea of Deadpool going back in time. If you haven't read Deadpool (volume1) # 11...you really need to read that hilarious issue of Deadpool going back in time to Amazing Spider-Man # 47.
Here I thought Bob was a one-joke character to have a prominent role in this book, but damn Nicieza proves me wrong again. I love the fact that the series has ran this long and I hope that Deadpool gets his own book, but only if Nicieza writes it. Because to me Nicieza is Deadpool...and Speedball...and Cable...and Night Thrasher...well you get the point. The art is nice, but could be tighten up some. The characters just seem a little off at times, but the backgrounds are solid. I really dread the day I don't read a C & D book monthly. B+
Cable and deadpool is up there as one of my favourite comics of all time.Its a pity theyr replacing it with a cable only series.The two characters work fantastically well together and itl be a damn shame when it ends.
Hopefully the pool gets a new series to himself,and hopefully Fab will be doing it.His work with deadpool has put him as my favourite pool writer,even better than kellys run
