No where as good as the first one, don’t have the humour, it felt lien they ran out of ideas. The ending was disappointing and I still don’t get to unless there is going to be a volume 3.

Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ Media for a free review copy!

This volume picks up in Japan and we're back with the lovely Samurai Squad. Sakura Spider, Neiro, and Kage are all there as well as Deadpool and unfortunately Loki is still lurking around. This volume focuses on their battle with Loki. Who adds a new enemy to the battle in the form of alternate universe Deadpool. Which backfires spectacularly on him.

Overall, this was a great volume. Deadpool is back with all his normal antics and fourth wall breaks. If you're a Deadpool fan, I highly recommend checking out this manga.

Going from the surprisingly good first book, I was a little disappointed in this book, as they seemed to use the 4th wall as an excuse for poor script writing.

Deadpool is in the middle of the fight of his life with Thanos! But he’s got some great supporting superheroes with the Samurai Squad - Sakura Spider, Neiro & Kage the symbiote, Hulk, and… All Might? Loki isn’t finished though, and he summons villains from a bunch of different multiverses and assembled them at Mt. Fuji - including a villain Deadpool is going to have a particularly hard time killing! There are also plenty of fourth wall breaks and jokes at the expense of Japanese and manga culture.

Deadpool does manga, with plenty of cameos and some moments of perfect humor as manga and Marvel crash together in the finale of this madcap mashup.

A very good second volume, not as good as Volume 1 but still really good!
