The first portion of this volume was utter madness, and still completely hilarious. The main story was everything I love about Deadpool: that same madness, but action, heart, humor, and a well-crafted story. It was just what I needed after the end of a chaotic week, and I look forward to catching up on another Deadpool adventure as soon as I can!

Can't decide between 3 and 4 stars. We'll say 3.5. I'm really enjoying this series, but this volume was a little heavy on the angst. It makes sense, give the last volume...but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

This was the one that I liked, just as goofy and off the wall as the other ones, but Deadpool wants his money and he's going to get it. Lots of oddball characters, lots of fighting and violence and Deadpool being himself (even a subtle nod to the Watchmen series). Of the 4 I read so far, this was the first to get 5 stars from me. Great ride.

A good follow up to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", however I found the "retro issue" about Deadpool's adventure in Wakandan a bit of a let down. Seemed a bit unorganized and didn't reveal much or move the story forward.

What this issue did do is once again show how even though Deadpool is basically unable to be killed, he's biggest threat is losing his humanity. This is something that most people don't seem to get, yes he's a bit of a psychopath lunatic, however he always ends up doing the right thing. The writers take him right to the edge of becoming completely evil and pull him back at the last possible moment.

To start off, the first "classic" Deadpool story in this volume was... weird. Like, trippy "what was that" Deadpool dream weird. It was interesting, but I'm still not sure what was going on there.

After that however, the authors continue their excellent run of Deadpool storytelling. Dark and conflicted but really funny at the same time, I especially enjoyed some of the jokes in this volume - including the extended "Watchmen" reference. The title is admittedly a little misleading in regards to the actual story, but this volume is a fun read nonetheless.

Pretty good for a Deadpool comic. Course Deadpool does get graded on a curve. And yet the writing was good, perhaps even funny. The art good, unfortunately quite a bit of it showed Deadpool uncostumed. I hate to think Deadpool is growing on me, I prefer to believe that the books are just improving. They are still gross and annoying. But now with plot and meaning and humor that is humorous. And stories that might even have endings.
