Writer: Daniel Way

Cover: Simone Bianchi
This is going to be short and not sweet. It's really a shame that Bianchi's talents have to be wasted on the cover of such a horrible book. All I really had to do to review this craptacular book was copy and paste my review for the last issue. Because that’s all that happens in this issue for the third time. 3 issues in and Wolverine and Deadpool are still fighting. Deadpool steals the spotlight (poor Deadpool) from Wolverine in this cat and mouse game. 90% of the story is both Wolverine and Deadpool fighting and we still don’t know why. While Deadpool’s schemes are a complete rip off of Looney Tunes; in a way they are amusing, but out of character. If Way’s unique style to the character is to make him crazy rather than arrogant, quirky, and sarcastic then count me out of the ongoing Deadpool series. This story arc could be wrapped up in one issue. Dillon, who is an accomplished artist on Preacher, Punisher, and Hellblazer still, has a problem drawing the character of Wolverine. For some reason Wolverine always looks like he’s got to take a crap or just looks surprised in every panel. Somebody give this guy another project and someone find Way a Will E Coyote comic to write. Even the Mexican smuggling bicycles joke couldn’t save this book. F
