Hey guys and gals, no your eyes aren't deceiving you, this is a JT post. I've dropped the "JT's Take" titles of my posts, to show a bit more unity. X opened his blog to me, and I figured if we're gonna do the fiddy/fiddy thang, (I don't know why I typed that) why have a title distinction? Anyway, all that aside, today's review is with our favorite Merc with a Mouth, with Black Box putting a hit on his newly handsome head, let's see how the formerly Regeneratin' Degenerate fares.
Summary: Sigh... This is gonna be a quick review. We start things off with Deadpool using a gas hose and a lighter and shooting flames from his butt by placing the hose between his legs. He uses them to basically knock out Black Tom and Black Box... somehow. Anyway, while playing with fire he sets himself on fire, ruining his good looks... so now he looks like he did before. Sigh... An explosion then blasts Deadpool away, knocking him unconscious. He regains consciousness later, as we see he was saved by Black Swan, because he took Black Swan to the hospital two issues ago. Black Swan tells Deadpool that he helped him like he said he would, and now Black Tom and Black Box no longer remember that Deadpool doesn't have his healing factor. Black Swan then offers Deadpool a job, Deadpool curses a ton, then the issue comes to a close.
Thoughts: Well this was terrible. This issue was CLEARLY rushed due to the whole Marvel Now thing, and what's worse is Deadpool burned himself up, I can't... It doesn't make sense to me that he would even make a mistake and do that considering how much he was happy to look normal. Now he looks the same and has no healing factor, which is just stupid. I could have seen if someone else set him ablaze or threw acid on him but this was just idiotic. Also, the "no one remembers you don't have a healing factor "One More Day" stuff really annoyed me. And the ending... with Deadpool just cursing... this comic seemed like something Dan Way put out because he had to, so he scribbled it on a napkin and said "Print em up!" Horrible comic all around, I can honestly say I enjoyed nothing in this book. Well no, I take that back, the art was good, so I'll give it a point for that...
Score: 1/10
Me: Cool, an add for Avengers! Sept. 25th, here I come!
That does sound extremely rushed. I agree that Deadpool wouldn't make such a mistake. When he had his healing factor he'd do things like that, but now that he knows he doesn't; he wouldn't do that. At least he beat those 2 villains fast :p
ReplyDeleteMarvel Now better be good >_>
Right? The old Deadpool would gladly set himself ablaze, blow himself up, whatever, but considering how careful he was in the last few issues, for him to be dumb enough to set himself on fire just seemed stupid.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. They seem to have been pretty consistent with Deadpool forgetting that he doesn't have a healing factor, especially while fighting. And, I'm pretty sure those wounds he gave to himself will heal without him looking like his old self. That being said, this issue did seem rushed and was kind of a dud. The Black Swan "fix it all" is just crapping writing.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it, I feel like this was their way of burning him so he's not handsome in Marvel now... or this is the start of a quick storyline to return his healing factor.
ReplyDeleteBingo. That's my feel on this situation. I figure Pool gets his healing factor back within the next few issues(so he'll be back to his status quo for Marvel Now!), but since he was burned before getting it he ends up getting stuck with a messed up body again. Or at least that's what I was thinking after reading this one.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's why it seemed so rushed. They HAD to make him back to scarred up Pool so they flushed a like 10 issue story down the drain that led to him getting his looks and losing his healing factor, just so he could be back to normal for the new guys when Marvel Now takes over. Just reeks of when DC had to rush storylines before their reboot.
ReplyDeleteGod do I dislike Daniel Way....
