Okay, these are hilarious. They hit my sweet spot just right. Headpool? And Dogpool's voices just woof at each other! Even Liefeld's art is suitable for the ludicrousness going on here. It's great.

Deadpool Corps is about how the Deadpool Corps first got banded. Deadpool starts recruiting different versions of himself from the Multiverse - which is a concept in the Marvel universe as in real life, to put it simply, it is a theory that there are multiple variations of you who lives in another universe- in an attempt to save the world.

To be completely honest, this is one of my least favorite Deadpool comics. Although I liked the first four comics where it shows the different lives of the "alternate Deadpools" and how Deadpool, convinces them that the world is in grave danger. The fifth and final comic was a train wreck. The art and style of how it was presented was a topsy turvie of 3D images (where I don't know if this was the infant stage of 3D art in 2010) but it was so poorly drawn that as I read I grew more annoyed on why did they have to change the style.



All in all, I give this 2.5 stars. Although I liked the storyline, I wasn't completely blown away either especially the final chapter.

So in this prelude, we have Deadpool rounding up other versions of himself. Lady Deadpool's run was a little boring in comparison to Kidpool's and Dogpool's. (in which Kidpool fights Scott Summers and crashes a school dance and Dogpool becomes a circus star) Hell, even the beheaded skull version was good (Pirates!) so bit of a rough start but extremely entertaining.

It's scary thinking of Deadpool as the responsible one, but he's the leader of his selves. It's a good fun prelude, probably not necessary for plot though.

It was so freaking weird! This was the first Deadpool story I read, so maybe they're always like this. I was laughing and think "wth?" half the time, but I did really like it. (The only thing that bugged me was the 3d stuff at the end, but really I didn't care too much.) I plan to read more!
