It took al while before I realised the cover gave me enough hints that this volume was going to include vampires... What was I thinking?!

The first part of the story continues with good ol' Wade trying to be a hero. Luckily for him, trouble finds him and brings some heroes with it as well.
When Deadpool is given the opportunity to be part of the 'Secret Avengers', you just can't wait for him and Captain America to start arguing or even fight each other...

Though, I thought the villain in this story was a bit lame. Doctor Bong seems to have a history with Deadpool, but I think he's a lame excuse for a villain.

The second part of the volume is about the vampires (or Draculas, as Deadpool likes to call them).
A fun story with some good action, and another way for Deadpool to prove he can be a real hero.
Of course, it wouldn't be Deadpool if there wasn't a Twilight reference in this story... (SPOILERS)

I liked this volume a lot. It contained a lot of action, mixed with the usual humour and references you'd expect. All I can say is that I hope he will encounter the 'Draculas' again soon.

Read a bunch of Deadpool this weekend and figured I'd mostly talk about the volume I enjoyed the most (although 8 was also pretty durn good too).

The problem with Deadpool is that I think writers still hesitate because they think readers won't follow a character who is a complete bastard. BUT WE WILL. I SWEAR. Especially if that complete bastard is entertaining as all hell.

What makes Deadpool work is the insanity, and I mean that both on the fun level but also in the writing.

For one thing, there are always at least two voices in Deadpool's head. So we see those manifested on the page as two different styles of thought boxes. Which works great because, well, you can read about the character's ideas and motivations without him needing a stupid sidekick or something.

Second, he's just sort of out of it. The best part of this whole volume is his insistence on calling all vampires "draculas." They keep trying to remind him that they aren't all named that, messages that fly right over his head, and the fun continues right on.

The other thing I don't enjoy, and where these start to go here and there before too long, is the whole Is Deadpool a Good Guy or a Bad Guy Today storyline.

This happens all the time in comics. You get a cool character, like Venom, and then they have to decide whether he's a good guy or a bad guy every couple months.

Again, we can enjoy bad guys. It's okay. The Joker was the best part of Dark Knight, right? So let's just take it easy on the conversions and get back to kicking dracula ass.

Oh, Deadpool. It was nice to see some flashbacks of Deadpool's life before the Weapon X Program. The rest was just hilarious madness, business as usual. The Secret Avengers making a cameo was nice, too.
