Book Reviews of Deadpool Classic, Vol. 2
Book Review: A good version of Deadpool, even though it didn't make me a fan
Summary: 2 Stars
This volume focuses exclusively on part of Joe Kelly's Deadpool issues, including a flashback issue and an annual with Daredevil. I really like the addition of Typhoid Mary to the cast, as she works well thematically with the mentally ill mercenary protagonist of the title. I also love the McGuiness art, and I like that Kelly commits to a stream of zany jokes, even though they aren't ever funny (although the Foggy and Weasel scenes from the annual did make me smile). Kelly does a good job of slowly developing the supporting cast and effectively writing Siryn into the book and then back out in a way that doesn't feel arbitrary. After reviewing these issues, I am still not a Deadpool fan, but I have a much better sense of what was achieved in these issues that won over so many other readers. I don't recommend this volume on its own, as it needs the first volume for foundation, and I don't think it will win new Deadpool fans, but it's a nice nostalgia trip for those who have recently started enjoying the character.
