Wish I could give it negative stars. Awful.

I really loved the beginning of this one, it was hilarious. It got weird, which is kind of the nature of Deadpool comics, I know. It's pretty good. I like Wade.

Awfully and unnecessarily misogynistic.

Deadpool is placed in a mental institution...in England...for some reason.

The first half of the volume is pretty boring as we listen to a doctor drone on about her methods and have the same argument over and over again with the warden. Plus Deadpool was very un-Deadpool with very little humor and violence that was necessary even by Deadpool standards, and that was before the mind-numbing treatment.

I did enjoy the She-Hulk cameo, too bad it was a small courtroom scene with no interaction with Deadpool.

The 2nd half picks up, as the story comes to gather and we see more of the Deadpool we know as he cracks jokes, pulls switch-a-roos, and spares Queen Elizabeth.

Also liked the cliffhanger ending.

Daniel Way is...frustrating. So much of his work is considered 'classic deadpool' and I admit there are elements of it that I like but there's no substance here. Just a lot of jokes about a woman Wade doesn't find particularly attractive. Shame.

The first half of this is terrible and long winded. The second part is just okay. I will admit that this was better than other Deadpool books I have read. The story following this seems more interesting.
