Deadpool #62
Summary: Agent Kemp is running T-Ray and Slayback through a very advanced virtual reality program that is simulating Deadpool. The program is so good though the two villains aren't able to defeat it, so Kemp tells them to keep practicing so that they're ready for the real thing. From there, Deadpool hunts down Taskmaster for a mercenary job, but Taskmaster figures Pool was there for selling him out to Black Box a few issues back, leading to the two fighting. Pool comes out on tops, and Taskmaster apologizes for selling Pool out, with Pool accepting. From there, Taskmaster tells Pool that T-Ray and Slayback had suddenly popped back up, which leads to Pool leaving. This issue ends with Taskmaster selling Pool out to Agent Kemp and telling her that Pool had just left his safehouse... HA!
Thoughts: Okay, I kind of/sort of expect Taskmaster and Pool to be working together here, and that Pool asked Taskmaster to tell Kemp that he was leaving in order to draw Kemp and her cronies out in the open. However, I REALLY hope that Taskmaster has betrayed Pool again, because that would just be awesome on so many levels, especially since Taskmaster had just apologized for selling Pool out a few seconds earlier! Um, besides that, nothing really happened here... T-Ray and Slayback trained, and Deadpool learned the art of forgiveness... This wasn't a terrible comic, and the last page(which I'll scan) gave me a legit laugh, but other than that, that was it.
Score: 6 out of 10.
Ah, how many times have I said that line...
Taskmaster should've added ", honey!" at the end then unmasked to show he's Luke Cage, if only for my amusement.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you would have been amused, JT... And then the woman in the wheelchair could have stood up and revealed she was Dr. Doom and life would be good.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the for real last issue makes up for the mehness.
