So.
Note: If you have not yet read Dead Presidents, and plan to, I recommend not reading this post.
Spoilers, Sweetie!
So. I’ve been wanting to read the Deadpool comics for quite a while now. I was quite enthralled with the idea of the character after reading about him on Wikipedia (that’s what I do when I’m bored. LOL).
Basically, Deadpool is a mercenary who never dies and periodically breaks the fourth wall.
Now. On to the actual book.
They don’t really introduce the character, since it’s not really the first issue. There were tons of classic issues back in the day. If you want a good introduction/explanation to the character, either go HERE (Wikipedia) or HERE (YouTube).
Basically, some necromancer (who also works for SHIELD) thinks America is corrupt and raises all the dead presidents to fix the country. However, the presidents just create havoc and want to kill everybody, so SHIELD gets called in. SHIELD then calls in Deadpool to fix the problem. The necromancer tries various ways to stop the presidents, but nothing works. So, Deadpool just goes and kills all the presidents with an enchanted sword from Doctor Strange (yeah, he’s in here too!). However, Agent Preston, Deadpool’s ‘friend’, gets killed, and the necromancer implants her consciousness into Deadpool’s body.
And that’s the end. Obviously, the book was more elaborate than that. I chopped it a bit (Uh huh. Just a bit.).
I really haven’t had much other experience with Deadpool comics in general (except for the Wiki), so I can’t give it a rating on that point.
However, on a comics point of view, Dead Presidents was really awesome. Of course, there is quite a bit of gore, so if you have a very weak stomach, then the Deadpool comics are not for you. Other than that, Deadpool is a really unique character. He can do basically anything because of his healing factor, and he’s really funny.
Just awesome.
Bye.
