    The arc to pick up

    Deadpool is finally committed to an insane asylum after way to many years of being on the loose.
      
    Warning: Spoilers 
     
    The Story 
    If you read the last arc with the hulk (if you didn't it was really good and you should) it ended with the Hulk smashing Deadpool into a million little blobs and then him being put back together and being sent to an insane asylum in England. She-Hulk was Deadpool's lawyer and got him but in Crossmore Prison in England instead of The Raft Prison in the USA. Once incarcerated he is under the supervision of Dr. Ella Whitby. For the rest of the issue Deadpool gets his head blown off and goes off on a limb kicking some ass while Dr. Whitby tries to help him confront his inner self. 
     
    The Good  
    The story was terrific and you really get the feeling that Deadpool is terrified to face what he needs to. I haven't really liked Way's writing in any of the issues before the Hulk arc. This however came out nowhere and I loved it! We get the feeling that Dr.Whirby is like a Harley Quinn character and there relationship was terrific. The whole book is serious but has the perfect amount of crude comity. 
     
    The art is spectacular! Deadpool doesn't wear a costume at all so we get to see him in the full flesh and its terrific. The action scenes are wonderful and we get to see a true (cruel and vicious) version of Deadpool. 
     
    The cover is AMAZING!!! I love the cap underwear!!!  
     
    Overall 
    If you like Deadpool (or if you don't) pick up this issue because this arc is gonna get good! The art was crazy good and this is truly the Deadpool everyone wants to see and read.

      Unbelieveable!!! 0

      It's obvious I hate Daniel Way's stuff. His series started off good, but after the Bullseye arc things just keep going down hill so I dropped the series for a bit. Eventually I thought he could do a good job with issue 36, since it seemed like an original idea, instead it turned out to be a giant mess. Then I figured the Hulk arc could be good, and it was but it still had it's problems. For one, all three issues only take me about eight to ten minutes to read.....that's an insanel...
