So glad to read this was Priest's only stint with Deadpool. This comes off as the first inkling of what the random internet troll thinks Deadpool is. Poorly delivered quips and a non-sensual story, not long removed from the height of dialog and story in Deadpool, and maybe in comics in general. No offense to the guy, haven't read his work to my knowledge, but he seems like his kid told him about Deadpool in ten words and he rolled with that. The only thing that saves it from garbage territory are a few cool designs and some fun dialog between Deadpool's roomies, who were funnier than him.

Well nigh unreadable. God, what incomprehensible gibberish. Was this funny in 2000?

At the very least, a lesson learned from reading this: just because you're openly self-aware that you're writing poorly doesn't make your writing any more enjoyable to read. Or funny. (Emphasis on the latter.)

Such a disappointing follow up to Joe Kelly’s run. The characterisation of Deadpool is just off and the plot is weak. I’m not even going to bother reading #46 through to #69 and instead skip to Cable & Deadpool, which hurts me because I wanted to read Deadpool from start to finish but I can’t deal with this writing or art.

Storyline made no sense, but then again, nothing about Deadpool does. The first part was amusing, the second part wasn't as much. I liked the 'silent' issue.

this was... interesting. honestly it really felt like priest was more devoted to writing black panther than this, cause the quality of storytelling in the two series is VASTLY different

I know, I know. If you see ME give a Deadpool Classic volume 3 stars then there is either something wrong with my love for Wade Wilson, or this one didn't meet the Deadpool criteria. Well, as it turns out this volume isn't as...eminent as the other 5 volumes, (I was going to say "Deadpoolish" but no matter what the writer or artist, everyone seems to get the gist of how Wilson is supposed to behave).
Here's the thing, Joe Kelly (creator of Wade Wilson) stopped writing them at volume 5. So this Christopher Priest took over. I'm not trying to bash him or anything, but Deadpool's story is just getting more confusing and...strange. If someone's going to take over the story THEN

WADE AND SYREN NEED TO GET TOGETHER!! I know I'm a girl, so this whole relationship thing disturbs me IMMENSELY. Wade and Vanessa's new behavior toward each other needs to have continuity! The last time they saw eachother, in volume 1, their attitudes about each other were tender if not sad.

*SIGH*!
Anyway! If volume 7 is the last volume for Deadpool Classic, then they had BETTER get things straightened up--because Deadpool deserves more than that!

"Everybody's insane, but only some of us are good at it."

The question of whether Deadpool is good at being insane or great at being sane is officially open, since he's figured out he's a comic book character. Plus Black Panther, The Avengers, and an epic space battle!
