Deadpool has proven to be nothing if not an elastic character, and it's that flexibility that makes his latest debut such a surprisingly balanced read. That's not to say it's normal - this is still a Deadpool title after all - but in comparison to past adventures Deadpool #1 is actually pretty darn straightforward. Again given life by Gerry Duggan and Mike Hawthorne, Deadpool's latest is a madcap romp (featuring Madcap, no less) that's as clever as it is chuckle worthy.
Deadpool is everywhere these days, and he knows it. The issue wasted no time in exploring the character's ever budding popularity, positioning him as a movie star even as his real life cinematic turn looms just around the bend. Not content to offer us one Deadpool, writer Duggan instead gives us seven. Or at least, seven would be Deadpool's, as the main merc has hired out to a number of questionable n'er do wells in forming his own Heroes For Hire freelance agency (patent stolen). Looking to make some extra moolah on the side even as he (mostly) leans more towards the good guy side of the tracks, this first issue focuses on past ties even as it broaches an uncertain future. Some of said ties will fly right over even the most ardent of Marvel fans (Wikipedia is your friend, kids) but Duggan nonetheless does a great job driving right to the heart of each character and their bumbling personalities.
