Deadpool #56 (Marvel)
So a quick recap. Deadpool is mortal. No healing factor. Last issue took down a bunch of super villains, but got his rear handed to him by the Trapster. Yes the guy who likes to shoot glue at people.
This issue, Wade decides he needs to get his act together and goes to Taskmaster to be trained.
Then he tries to break into a S.H.I.E.L.D facility. Does fairly well, gets set up. And I’m constantly wondering “how, oh how, is this guy doing this without his healing factor?” Does he not realize that he will get killed? And he doesn’t even want to be killed anymore.
Anyway,
The Good:
As I always say with Deadpool issues: this is funny. But at the same time it can be quite serious. Wade even sounds smart here and there. The story line is going well. I like seeing Deadpool take on the challenges of being a mercenary as a mere mortal with no healing factor.
The Bad:
For once the issue didn’t have my 100 percent attention. So bits here and there tend to be a little (just a little) dragging.
The Funny:
The usual witty banter always amuses.
Now my favourite moments from issue 56.
-Tasky telling Wade he doesn’t make sense and Wade going “look who you’re talking too.”
-DP trying to figure out what to tell Taskmaster when he tells him that he wanted to do this job with him.
-DP: “Do you know who I am?” Robot screen: “Deadpool, mercenary, healing factor, annoying voice.”
For more funny moments from Deadpool 56 read the issue. I’m not giving more spoilers.
Oh yeah, I give it my lowest rating ever for a Deadpool issue.
SCORE : 8 / 10
