This is one of the more well-written Deadpool titles i've come across lately. While Deadpool remains the fast-talking character I expect to see, this story takes a more serious direction that actually manages to work quite well. The art is effective, the plot is tightly constructed and fully developed, and the story is entertaining.
Facing off against a mysterious enemy, Deadpool finds himself facing old friends and foes while confronting parts of his past from well before he ever became Deadpool. The legacy of the Weapon X program is a horrific one, and Liefeld strikes an effective balance here between Deadpool's character and the story being told.
I wouldn't want all Deadpool comics to have this sort of tone, but "Bad Blood" is a strong showing and an (unsurprisingly) effective portrayal of the character.

Terrible. I don't know why I read this, but at least it was only a wasted 15 minutes of my life. Rob Liefeld is a living tumor. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Despite what people may think, Deadpool is actually a quite difficult character to pin down. He has to be an anti-hero who does the right thing (sometimes for the right reasons, but not always and certainly not often).
He has to be unkillable but not unstoppable, relentless but certainly not infallible.
He needs to be incredibly smart, but his brain is so messed up that he also needs to be incredibly stupid - a perfect representation of an idiot savant.
And most importantly, he needs to be funny without becoming a joke.
This story at least avoided that last one - although they did it by including very little humour at all. This was an alright comic book story, it just wasn't a Deadpool story. Big old meh from me.

Fun little one-shot.
I feel like Liefeld's art has gotten better since I last paid attention to him... except for a few panels where he forgets how human backs work. But that's probably just me mostly remembering his worst of the worst.

This graphic novel could be better if they make it thinner, cut some pages. There is no real story here, old stuff with some new villains. (By new, I mean I haven't seen them before).
For me this work is in border between 1 star and 2 star rating. I like the art, so it is 2 star for now.

First Deadpool book that I've read. Now I just put 10 more on hold at the library.

What?!? I mean, inviting Liefeld back was always bound to be a mixed bag, but, what?!? I mean, other than old home week: Kane, Cable, Domino, Shatterstar, etc. what did this do/have? If you were nostalgic for old 1990s Deadpool stories, this one does have a core of semi-sweetness, and was mildly engaging.
