I think Joe Kelly was trying to give Deadpool his own Sabertooth, complete with the whole "our pasts are mysteriously linked" crap, but Deadpool really didn't need it and it really didn't work. I really liked Kelly's DP run (although it seems to have become strangely divisive over the years, probably due to Kelly becoming kind of an asshole) but, yeah, T-Ray fucking sucked and deserved to be forgotten.
I like parts of it, but what bothers me is that Deadpool is still clearly a villain when I got into him as an anti-hero character. Cable and Deadpool is what got me into the character, and I was a big fan of Daniel Way's run, so that's what I have in my head when I think of Deadpool. Kelly's Deadpool is harder for me to root for because he's sticking Al in a torture chamber and when she tries to leave, he's there waiting, having murdered the guy who was going to help her.
Fucking how, especially if you read C&D before it
They made their bed when they hired sonic oc artists and trannies from Twitter, so now they have to sleep in it.
Agreed. You make a good point
I haven't read much Deadpool but I like the character when he comes off as a surpisingly good person at the end of the day.
One relationship I wish we got to see more of these days is DP’s deep and intensely genuine friendship with Rogue. She really brings out the best in him, and I was very pleasantly surprised to see her pop in that DP game years back.
There was a lot more done with it in Uncanny Avengers and Uncanny Avengers.
Innsmouth is just a great story in the first place. Probably Lovecraft's best story
Really doubt about something like this in Rosario of all places
The first official crossover between the two companies since Avengers/JLA. Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo are not fit to be spoken of in the same sentence as Kurt Busiek and George Perez. Except for a sentence like that. It was rushed and cramped and neither character really had a good chance to demonstrate why you should be reading their books. Even the weakest of the old 90s crossovers looks good next to this. Maybe not JLA/Predators.
This made me think and frankly, I don't know if there are any good writers left these days. Scott Snyder's beloved, but incredibly overrated, Tom King is woke and obsessed with feeling sorry for himself, Grant Morrison's woke and narcissistic (and always has been, he didn't suddenly get bad, he's always sucked), Neil Gaiman's woke and a rapist (surprising how that's always the case), Deniz Camp is getting raved about rn but Absolute Martian Manhunter is pretentious slop that thinks it's smart and artistic by being nonsensical, Robert Kirkman's never written anything good outside of TWD, and Daniel Warren Johnson is woke.
