Waaaay back in 2011 I posted about my dissatisfaction with the Deadpool series written by Daniel Way, hereby referred to as Volume
2. It didn’t stack up the 90s era Dadpool written by Joe Kelly, or the
fantastic Cable & Deadpool by Fabian Nicieza.
Now, I have not read every Deadpool comic,
I largely skip on the side-stories and miniseries, I do this with all comics I
read, I only care about the main story unless I hear very good things about a
side story.
As of now I have read the original 90s run
of Deadpool, Cable & Deadpool, and about half of Way’s Volume 2, which is
where I stopped until recently. The modern deadpool just wasn’t working for me
for many reasons, it was far too silly, too many memes shoehorned in. But Then
I started reading Volume 3, also known as Marvel Now! Deadpool; written by
Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggen.
This is it, this the Deadpool I’ve been
waiting for since Cable & Deadpool ended. It’s funny, it’s charming, there
are almost no in your face memes. Deadpool is a goofy wisecracker who makes a
ton of bad jokes as always, but it’s not ALL he does.
It also removes Way’s annoying dual thought
boxes that argued with each other, though I don’t know if this change happened
in Volume 2 as I have yet to finish it.
Back in 2011 I couldn’t accurately describe
why I didn’t like the new Deadpool, and it shows; I really dislike that post
now but it’s here if you want to read it. But right now all I can say is this;
Marvel Now Deadpool is the real deal, anybody who hates the le epic meme so
random Deadpool should give this series a chance, it’s far better.
I look forward to the upcoming Deadpool
movie as a reinvigorated fan.
