This is what I hoped for... A sequel to the suprising 'Night of the Living Deadpool'!
The previous book ended a bit dull, with every zombie becoming 'Deadpool'. So now the people don't have to fear the zombies anymore. Now they have to fear a much bigger threat... Hordes of Deadpool!
Luckily, Cullen Bunn remembered what made the previous volume such a success. Not only the humor and gore matters, but a Deadpool who connects with someone is what I wanted.
This time, a young girl finds a Deadpool who is different than the others. He isn't interested in killing people, and seems to have a mind of his own. But how is this possible, when the original Deadpool sacrificed himself in the last volume?
And just like last time, it ends with an emotionally punch in the face. Another goodbye, with felt way more painfull than during the previous volume.
I still hope this one will get a sequel/spin-off. Why? Well, let me know when you finished it. And tell me you weren't moved (and maybe came up with a theory) by that ending!

This could be read as a standalone, but the story does follow on from [b:Night of the Living Deadpool|18478261|Night of the Living Deadpool (The Living Deadpool, #1)|Cullen Bunn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417278950s/18478261.jpg|26150344] so I'm glad I read that first. This is my first exposure to the Deadpool books - loaned to me by a friend after I raved about the film.
I know these Living Deadpool books are a special, but I feel they encapsulate the spirit of Deadpool perfectly - well, the spirit of Deadpool as portrayed in the recent film. Plenty of sarcasm, action, comedy, and (my favourite) breaking the 4th wall. I'm sure I missed lots of references just because I'm not well read in graphic novels, but I got enough of the pop culture references to keep me entertained.
I'm a big fan of [b:The Walking Dead, Compendium 1|6465707|The Walking Dead, Compendium 1|Robert Kirkman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1449865699s/6465707.jpg|6656179] series. and I love the way the artwork in Living Deadpool references the art in Kirkman/Moore's books.

Ok the plot to this book is a little silly, but for the sheer fun factor I loved this book. Imagine a world where one out of a million douchebags can actually be a cool guy and save the world.....yea that guy is Deadpool. lol.
