plain and simple. This is one of the most under rated series in the last 10 years. I wont review all the volumes cause its just one big great story arc, with deadpool vs the marvel universe being the weakest but by no means bad in any way. Do yourself a favor and get the whole series you wont be disappointed

Deadpool

Deadpool rocks i recommend this to any fan you should read all of cable vs deadpool first though

great

came on time and wasn't bent or anything. A great read for my husband.

My favorite comic book anti-hero gets his due.

All hail Marvel Comic's most underappreciated and brilliant creation, The Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. A byproduct of Weapon X, Wade Wilson was saved from a cancerous demise when he was successfully granted a healing factor derived from Wolverine. But the procedure left him physically deformed and made a mercenary with already outrageous personality insane to boot. Always in a mood for black comedy, he named himself after a betting pool among the Weapon X staffers concerning which test subject would die next: the Deadpool. After pestering various X-Men offshoots he received his own series in the late 90's and graduated from villain to anti-hero status. After all, what good is a villain you can't hate? People who don't like Deadpool also hate sunshine, chocolate chip cookies, Elvis, and probably kick puppies too. Satire, parody, and bizarre pop-culture references pervade every page of a Deadpool comic. Nothing is off limits, even breaking the fourth wall, which is essentially geekspeak for referencing the fact that you are a character in a fictional medium. For example, he once noted an issue's guest star and hoped aloud that the appearance of a big name like The Silver Surfer would sell more copies. He also occasionally accosts and confuses fellow Marvel Universe denizens with references to the real-world, like when he told Spider-Man that he's seen his movies and knew that he was really "doe-eyed Tobey Maguire" under his mask. But my favorite Deadpool moment remains the time he picked a fight with an uncooperative Wolverine by asking Kitty Pryde if she'd ever played Street Fighter II before shouting "SHORYUKEN!" and blasting her with a Dragon Punch, an attack from the game. Cable and Deadpool debuted in 2004, teaming the Three Stooges fanatic up with the ultimate straight man, time-traveling mutant messiah Cable. The series lasted 50 awesome issues with the final MArvel Universe-spanning run being collected in this book. With Cable having passed on, The 'Pool was left with a new support team and sent on a time-travel adventure where he encountered everybody from The Fantastic Four (the Storm/Black Panther line-up and the classic) to Dr. Strange to WWII-era Captain America and Bucky (who had a major potty-mouth, it turns out) and even teamed up with rival Wolverine (who lops off his head, leading Deadpool to accuse him of giving him "drain bamage") along the way. Hell, he even gets to battle zombies. It's a heck of a ride, even by comic book standards. Of Deadpool's new friends, my favorite has got to be Bob, Agent of Hydra. The man is a pure parody of comic book henchmen and is a perfect target for a fourth-wall busting satirical comedian like Deadpool. After having done Strange's bidding in The Savage Land, 'Pool returns to New York in a portal and inadvertently brings a herd of dinosaurs with him. The Avengers happen by, escorting the Venom symbiote aaaaaaannnnnddd...you can see where this is going, yeah? Venomosauri! I

yep

I love this arc. Deadpool is the greatest marvel character ever made, so keep that in mind when reading this review. Nonetheless, I had the most fun reading this arc than any other arc in this whole series. I got really bored with Cable, not that hes not cool, just Deadpool was that awesome! And hes (cable) not in this series. Funny and full of action. Cool stuff, I recommend this whole series.
