Deadpool Max #7
Bloody hell, I just realised I missed the last issue. I was looking forward to it as well. It had Domino and Baby Deadpool jumping out of a window on the cover. While all the previous issues in this series have been a tad off and even though they have been risque enough, they never really felt like proper deadpool to me. Whereas this issue the risque world of the Max Deadpool finally hits all the right notes and gives a story and dialogue that is as mentally insane as Deadpool should be. He is married to Domino/ Black Widow/ Inez, whoever she is, and she faked a pregnancy and so fakes giving birth to a plastic doll. Which Deadpool names Wolfie. He imagines all the fun things he can do with his child, in what is as close to a comedy montage as comics can get.
Comedically Deadpool comics are aware of the cliches of characters being insane and play off every single character being wrong in the head. Deadpool gives his wife an intervention about killing people then has her locked up anyway while he goes back to being himself in time for next issue.
Perfect artwork all the ways through. A loose but graphic style with brilliant textures and tonal qualities. Consistent art but this is the first time I've thoroughly enjoyed the story.
Thunderbolts #156
The main team our out on a magic based assignment with new team member Satana while Songbird is picking the new beta team. There are some interesting choices of who seems to be being picked. Troll, Shockwave, Boomerang, Centurius and Mr. Hyde. Whom shortly after taking his serum starts to get very angry. Meanwhile the main team is getting into a lot of trouble and Satana isn't really helping them. Plenty of villains are doing everything they can to get onto the beta team.
I really enjoy this title each month. There is never a dull issue. The short missions and two teams to bounce back and forth with mean there is never a dull moment. With each new addition to the team there is always the uncertainty of whom is going to last.
Uncanny X-Force #8
How is this out again already?! Never the less this book stays as interesting as ever. Deathlok is staying in X-Force HQ to guard the World as a compromise for not destroying it. After Deadpool investigates...
Betsy and the team go to an old Soviet base that houses the Shadow King (another great choice for a return from X-men comics past), Betsy's mind defenses in Warrens brain to keep the Archangel's murderous side at bay are undone during a battle with the Shadow king and he makes Betsy forget about it. Leading for a very enticing ending as the bases missile crisis is averted and Archangel looms out of the base with his full powers unleashed unbeknownst to the rest of his team. This book is getting to be as consistently good as X-Factor is (I read it in trades before you go searching the blog for those reviews). There aren't that many X-men titles that are that gripping week in week out.
