"Lady Deadpool will be introduced in Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth #7, and will be followed by the tongue-in-cheek 5th week mini-event Deadpool Corps, featuring Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Headpool, Dogpool, and Kid Deadpool."
Which makes it sound like Deadpool Corps is a miniseries rather than part of Merc With a Mouth. Gischler has also stated that the Deadpool Kid is a cowboy Deadpool from a Western-themed universe, when Kid Deadpool was clearly a child in the art that was released.
A miniseries makes sense, too.
but otherwise i'm with you.
It has Carnage, Psylocke, Cable and Magneto
Not really looking forward to all these deadpools. Although he'll probably see one at a time due to time skipping, and most likely each dimension will have it's own drawing style (hence why there's so many artists, herp derp) I'm stilll not warming up to this story.
MWAM has been dissapointing in general, for me, so it won't be a surprise if this doesn't live up to it's hype.
I disagree about MWAM though. it's the closest we've gotten to the 'real' Deadpool, a la Joe Kelly, that we've had in years. The style of humor, the deadpool personality, etc, are as close to I've seen as a coherent linear style of Deadpool that we've had in years. I rather appreciate it.
Victor is the closest we've gotten to a writer that has written Deadpool almost like Joe Kelly once did. Just look at the similarities....
1) Both share a similar sense of humor, They make pop culture references that offten require you to use the internet to find out what the heck he's talking about.
2) Both seem to put Deadpool in situations that don't fall into current comic continuity, and don't tie into events that are happening around the marvel universe.
3) Both got an artist who both draw very cartoony characters....Ed Mcguiness had a very cartoony style back then and Bong Dazo's art is also very cartoony as well.
I'm sure there are more reason why the two are very similar....but those are the only ones I can think of at the moment.
The art style, ugh. I had to get really used to that when I first read it. In some frames Deadpool looks incredibly fat, and they're really aiming this book at kids it seems. "Random violence, WACKY jokes, hot chicks!" Whoo... There's more to deadpool then just random violence and jokes. Benson (I think it was Benson, the Suicide Kings mini anyway) captured Deadpool as one of the best stories in years, in my opinion.
But maybe I'm just not such a big Kelly fan. I liked his original run, but his last story in the big DP900 dissapointed me. Everyone went all "Best story from the book!" but I really didn't even like it that much. I thought the one where the artist just rendered pictures from google and threw a filter over them had the more serious Deadpool, which I prefer over the mindless "look at me I'm so funny" deadpool.
Kelly did try to make him a hero yes, but that whole plan blew up in his face when he had to save the world by killing someone. That was a great story arc but you can't do the same story arc twice, that's why I'm not liking the Daniel way series. We've already seen Deadpool try and be a hero several times, give me something new!! Also how can you compare Old Man Logan to MWAM, they are two different series and two different genres, that's like comparing apples and peanut butter.
Ed Mcguiness had a very cartoony style from the start, Hell almost every Deadpool artist to date has a cartoony style. Just because Bong 's art style is the cartoonyest of the lot doesn't mean he get's special treatment. Now that we've gotten used to it, it's not so bad to look at, compared to Shawn Crystal's artwork it's as good as the Mona Lisa.
How can you complain about Bong Dazo's artowork when the art in the story you liked since it has a dark Deadpool has some of the worse artwork in the book. The reason I liked Joe Kelly's story was because of the nostalgia factor. Yes Deadpool is a dark character but he needs to tell jokes since that is his main shtick. Being dark always has to sit in the backseat when faced with humor, because Deadpool's humor is what made him popular with fans.
Joe Kelly's Deadpool was about him pretty much failing at being something other than a mouthy merc. As characterized at the end of run, he constantly fails constantly fails, and still has a harder coconut shell underneath (i'm paraphrasing).
The Joe Kelly story in the back of Deadpool 900 was a reprint if I remember, the Widdle Wade thing right? That wasn't really a serious Deadpool story. It was just a one shot goofy joke thing. Nothing character driven.
Deadpool's a killer, and he knows it, but he's also a sensitive guy, he just hides it under those damn coconut shells.
The reason I stopped picking up *most* marvel books in general was because of the focus on the giant events and lack of real storytelling and cashing in on someone else's idea/plot points and just run with it.
The thing that made Marvel Heroes so different from the DC heroes was that they weren't overly powerful god-like beings with no problems. They were everyday folks, like the Geeky X-men, or the everyman that Peter Parker is/was, to the family like Fantastic Four.
Now it's summer events and new "Lady" counterparts to everyone (Did we really need a Lady Bullseye?), "YOUR WORLD WILL CHANGE FOREVER" drastic changes that last until a new writer takes the reigns, and Marvel Zombies 6 and Annihilation Wave 4 (Hyperbole, not actual events).
So Way, like most of the main comic writers out there, is focusing on telling a continuation of the big event stories. There is no Deadpool in his books, just an overexposed quirky guy with pop cultural references.
