Picking up from his pirate adventure, this arc starts with Deapool aboard his new ship. And by ship, I do mean an ocean vessel. Not a spaceship, or anything cool like that.
But don’t worry, he’s not there long. Thanos and Death appear (in Pool-O-Vision only), Deapool gets thrown into the ocean, kills a shark, and then washes up on the shores of San Francisco, where he tries to join the X-Men.
Of course Cyclops doesn’t want Wade on the team, but he does manipulate the mercenary into helping with an X-mission. What’s the mission? Truly, it doesn’t matter. Like all the issues in Daniel Way’s run, the plot is just a loose idea to platform a series of comedic sketches and general zany mayhem. It’s not all bad, it’s just frivolous and forgettable.
ScreenshotThere’s a nice reference to the Clash song, “Know Your Rights,” for example. You can tell from the panel below that the jokes are more straightforward, less creative.
Again, not horrible comics, but not great.
It ends with Cyclops putting Wade on a bus to New York, and we’re promised a Spider-Man team-up in the next story.
