This was pretty good! Deadpool is hilarious, and the story was interesting. Will definitely continue, hoping it gets better from here.

I wouldn't say I loved this one but I definitely liked it.

Posehn and Duggan's writing actually made me laugh out loud at times, especially with that elephant pun and the Smiths reference.
As most comic readers will know Deadpool, for the most part, is a form of comic-relief in the marvel universe but throughout this comic I saw hints of something deeper and kind of cynical about Deadpool that really attracted me to his character, especially towards the end of this volume.

I also have to give props to Tony Moore as the art throughout the volume truly captured the ridiculousness of the storyline and the gore was brilliantly graphic as classic Deadpool should be.

I would recommend this comic to fans of Deadpool or comic readers looking for some light hearted humour; though if you are looking for something a little more serious I wouldn't say this is for you.

Deadpool: Dead Presidents was a funny and action-packed comic. Deadpool's humor always gets me, always makes me laugh. I truly love reading about his adventures and hearing his witty banter. Looking forward to reading more!

Clearly I am not the target audience for this piece of unfunny drek. Oh there was a story here. And a plot and art. But stupid and icky.

3.5... As a Canadian, most of the jokes about American presidents went way over my head, and I feel like that affected how much I enjoyed this volume. I also thought it was a bit disjointed with how Deadpool went from one location to another. However, Deadpool as a character was everything I hoped he would be, and this was a pretty fun and funny read.
