An older, amoral version of Deadpool takes a ride through the secret agent genre with a lot of fairly obvious humor that nevertheless pokes some great fun at James Bond and company while delivering a ride suitable of Deadpool's typical absurdity. It's not deep but it's fairly fun.

I always enjoy Chris Hastings writing, especially when he's in a bonkers world that makes no apologies for its bonkersness.

The story gets a bit in the weeds, but it does so in the same way that James Bond movies do so it completely fits the setting.

Entretenido y desenfadado pero poco original y falto de chispa. El género está sobre explotado.

Well that was awful to read! Boring and typical superhero storyline. Storyline is so weak and boring. Art style is like someone did it on a computer for a kids magazine, evidently not for me. Target audience is very young.

This comic is funny, inventive, and an all-around good time. I’m a fan.

Secret Agent Deadpool keeps making me laugh. Okay, that may slightly be my fondness of Christopher Hastings talking, but I really am enjoying the series. I don’t read a ton of Deadpool (I tend to read the shorter miniseries that spring up – they’re short and funny) but I do love how Deadpool is always getting himself into one mess or another. At least this time around he has access to cool technology (without having to steal it or spend a fortune on one thing).
This issue had less of the James Bond jokes than the last few did, which I was a little sad about (I love it when they point out his obvious character flaws or the way he treats people), but they’re moving on with the actual plot, so I can’t complain too much.
This issue brought the plot full circle, so my guess is that the next one will resolve everything and that’ll be the conclusion. It’s sad, but it was a fun run while it lasted!

All of the Bond spoofing really worked for me. I had a good time with this one.

We discussed the character further in a special episode of Previously on X-Men: https://previously-on-x-men.libsyn.com/deadpool-2

I may have bought this for my fiance and then decided to read it.

Having never read a Deadpool comic before, I was very happy. The artwork is beautiful and Deadpool is just a massively awesome character.
