This run gives Deadpool vulnerability. The story gives him many different sides, and makes him relatable. He is also endearing, but also still hilarious. Very hilarious. For Deadpool's sake read this comic.

This was...fine. Obviously it's stupid but that's on purpose. Mostly it was good stupid, but it went on for too long and the concept got old very quickly. Maybe it would have been better as 3-4 issues. Or maybe it's just not for me.

I love the idea of Deadpool as a character. I'm also a fan of Brian Posehn. I wasn't really into Deadpool in the first trade I read, but I also recognize that the character has shifted somewhat from a psychopath to a more self-aware sarcastic type. Dead Presidents is a Marvel NOW entrypoint that I figured I'd give a chance to given the author, and I'm generally glad I did.
The good: Deadpool is a lot of fun in this book, and he largely acts in this book as I perceive him. It's funny, witty, and Posehn's influence comes out all over the place here. The idea that Deadpool has to deal with the zombified corpses of dead presidents is great, too, as a history nerd.
The not-so-good: It gets VERY tiring. By issue six of this arc, I felt a version of "get on with it" that I hadn't with a comic in some time. I don't know if it was this book or Deadpool in particular that creates exhaustion, but it's worth noting.
I'll certainly check out the volume two trade when it comes out. In the meantime, this has done a lot to help my understanding of the character.

This is a great read. I love the zombie presidents. I love wade. The art is good and the fan questions in between are nice breaks.

Had to reread this for comic book club. You could really tell that the writer is new because he crams as many jokes as he's thought up over the years into every panel.
Still funny though.

I started with Spider-Man/Deadpool so I'm sure a lot of continuity issues would have been solved if I'd started with this instead. But though his quips were funny as always, I didn't care for the plot that much. Maybe that comes from being Canadian like Deadpool and not knowing any American history. I don't know. But I couldn't really get into the story line.

It's ok, I suppose. The story is pretty throwaway. I saw Anne's review right before writing this, and it pretty much covers the minimal thoughts I have on this. Go read that (it's short). https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/816898314

The story was fine but that translation was so bad. SO BAD. It made the whole thing so cringeworthy. There were gramatical and spelling mistakes all over. And don't get me started on those puns that were so badly translated you had to translate them back to English for them to make sense.
La historia estaba bien, pero esa traducción estuvo tan mal. Demasiado mal. Hizo que todas las líneas fueran súper incómodas y raras. Nadie diría cosas como "Deadpool, amigo mío. Nos volvemos a encontrar. Recuerdo ese día, hace tan lejano, en el que cambiaste mi vida". HACE TAN LEJANO. ¿Qué? Había incorrecciones gramaticales y ortográficas. Los juegos de palabras estaba tan mal traducidos que tenías que traducirlos al inglés para que tuvieran sentido. No puedo.
