4.0 out of 5 stars
Mouthy mercs and snickting sons,
This review is from: Wolverine: Origins Volume 5 - Deadpool (Wolverine (Marvel) (Quality Paper)) (v. 5) (Paperback)
Wolverine fights Deadpool who's been hired to take him out. But who's the mysterious figure intruding upon their duel and what does it have to do with Logan's dark past?
Daniel Way does a fine job with the book, writing Deadpool's caustic and flip dialogue very well and keeping the action coming thick and fast. Steve Dillon does a good job as well and has some fun with some of Deadpool's delusions in portraying Wolvie in plenty of silly versions. The second story following on the heels of the first's ending takes a darker tone and goes into Logan's disturbing past and the Weapon X days. It's a decent book that isn't essential reading for comics fans but is good fun and enjoyable enough if you're a fan of either characters.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Has some shortcomings but still worthwhile,

What's good:
1. Deadpool. He's awesome, and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, which keeps it entertaining. 2. Overall the artwork was pretty good* (see what's not so good) 3. Storyline wasn't very involved, but it's mostly just one long fight scene, so that's good. 4. Great fight scenes. 5. Did I mention Deadpool? What's not so good: 1. Wolverine is drawn like a pansy. He actually reminds me of Daniel Dreiberg / Nite Owl from the Watchmen for some reason in this. 2. Okay, not THAT big of a deal but it irked me the whole way through. Wade Wilson has BROWN eyes. Even says so on the Marvel website. Brown. Not blue. I liked the way he was drawn in Cable & Deadpool a lot more (sort of Vin Diesel and Freddy Krueger merged to become a volcano of mantastic mayhem). In this he looks...a little like the Thing, at least bone structure-wise. 3. Wolverine's lame son. Once he comes into it, it kinda goes downhill. In fact, were it not for his lame son, I might have given this 5 stars. Still, I highly recommend it, and I did really enjoy reading it.

This review is from: Wolverine: Origins Volume 5 - Deadpool (Wolverine (Marvel) (Quality Paper)) (v. 5) (Paperback)
Despite the amazing covers and the intriguing image you are greeted with when opening the cover, the book was a disappointment for me. The writing left much to be desired, the art was almost satisfactory, and the atmosphere felt a little insulting to me as a Deadpool fan. Overall, it may have had potential, but severely fell short.
Deadpool himself is not very well written. It feels more like the writer struggled with trying to capture his character, and was trying to approach it from several angles at once- all that failed, I might add. I perhaps smirked at something Deadpool said perhaps twice in the entire book. The plot was delivered severely crudely, and the action was nothing but a joke. I was expecting some adrenaline pumping action, at the very least. Instead, it was shoddy panels of gag action after gag action- everything is suddenly in actuality a bomb. If that was supposed to make me go, "Oh no! Awww, shucks, that was close!" then it fell flat on its face. The panel pacing, especially for the action, felt a little short. It wasn't confusing, but didn't exactly catch my attention or get me wrapped up in it. As previously stated, the art isn't too bad. The artist does seem to have an issue with the human face, and while the skill in it doesn't show lack of knowledge, it has a certain awkwardness to the quality. Overall, I found a little enjoyment in only the latter two parts of the series, and relief in the art of the two additional parts of an only somewhat related mini-story. I'm glad I didn't pay full price on this thing.
