Cable & Deadpool # 50 Review
Plot & Pencils: Reilly Brown
Script: Fabian Nicieza
Inkers: Jeremy Freeman & Bob Almond
Colors: Gotham
It’s really surprising that this comic made it to issue 50 and I’m not saying that in a negative town. As a matter of fact I am really sad to see this book go. It’s been my favorite Marvel title since its debut and I really can’t imagine a Deadpool book working without Nicieza, yes I’ve read Casey’s and Simone’s run, but nothing comes close to what Fabian has done with this book. I mean these are characters that haven’t shined since the mid 90’s, but somehow Fabian made it work.
Series artist Reilly Brown stepped in as guest plotter while Nicieza contributed the script for the last two issues. Deadpool, Weasel, Bob, Agent X, and the rest of the gang team up with the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the citizens of NY to take on the SYMBIOTE DINOSQUAD. I’m assuming this was set during the horrible Venom crossover in Mighty and New Avengers. Even Cable manages to help out, well sort of and everything goes back to where it all started. With Deadpool chilling out on the couch and Bea Arthur.
It’s a great send off to a fantastic run of comics. Fabian’s dialogue is top notch and Brown’s pencils really shine in this issue. I have no idea why neither one of these two is not working on a high profile comic. It’s sad to see that the Cable storyline couldn’t be resolved because I’m sure Marvel has put any stories featuring him off-limits, well that is until his Lone Cable and Cub comic comes out. I’m depressed and I will drink myself to sleep now. A
So can you see Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool yet?
I am going to miss this series too. How can Marvel do that to the fans? Cancel one of the greatest and funniest books in years. Ryan Reanolds will be okay, I would rather see Jason Lee.
