About Heroes

Script: Fabian Nicieza
Writer & Penciler: Reilly Brown
Inker: Jeremy Freeman
Colors: Gotham with Sotocolor

I have to come to terms with the fact that my favorite Marvel title is about to meet it’s premature ending. This issue is the penultimate issue and as you can see Fabian has stepped down as writer and is only doing the script.

Deadpool, Weasel, and Bob: Agent of Hydra head to the Savage Land to retrieve one of Magneto’s Electro-Polarity Reconfiguration Engine for the country of Rumekistan. While in the Savage they run into Kazar and Sabu that are being controlled by Brainchild. So of course there is a big fight between Kazar and Deadpool that ends up with Deadpool with a knife through his head. By the end of the issue you can tell that Deadpool and friends are about to join the Venom Attack crossover!

Damn, I’m going to miss this book. I have to keep wiping the keyboard from the tears that keep rolling down my face. I laughed so damn hard, I can’t think of another book that makes me laugh so much. Deadpool bringing up the fact that both Cable and Magneto will be back in some sort of crossover and Weasel mesmerized by Lorelei’s rack just reminds me why this book stands above the rest. So many pop culture references and funny moments will keep these 50 issues in my heart always. I have heard a rumor of a Deadpool series and got excited, but then I read “this”: http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/007103801.cfm just shrivels my nuts! Reilly Brown’s art really does a really nice job with his clean pencils and his story, while not the best in the series, is still pretty solid. If you’ve never check out this series, do yourself a favor and pick up some back issues, which I’m sure you can find for less than a buck or pick up the trades. If you happen to enjoy them, you might want to let Marvel know. A
