Didn't like this one a whole lot because of the art style of Thunderbolts. It was a bit 90s', a bit modern and it didn't match well.
I like Andy Diggle. And Daniel Way is...passable.This is neither if those things.The humour is terrible.The action is sub-par and uninspired.I have no interest in this sorry story and this rewarmed action sequences from a bad 90s Seagal movie.Avoid this. God, for your own sake.
Hey, it’s a Deadpool book with a plot!!!Ha! Sucker! Made you look.It’s a tie-in with the Dark Reign crossover event, plus it carries over into the Thunderbolt books so it has to have the bare minimum of a storyline to hang its hat on. Let’s go to the plot summary - to wit:In the previous crossover event, Secret Invasion, Nick Fury sends Deadpool to infiltrate the Skrulls and get the secret on how to take down the Skrull Queen. Deadpool is promised a huge reward. He’s successful, but his transmis...
Crossovers can often go very wrong, especially when it is between a popular title and a not-so popular title (I've never read a Thunderbolts comic before this).This story was smooth and coherent. The z-list Thunderbolt roster did not stop this from being all about Deadpool.
Ha ha, Marvel! You didn’t get me this time. I see how you crossed an on-going story from the Dark Reign storyline in Deadpool over to Thunderbolts, and then created an entirely separate trade paperback to sucker any poor soul just trying to read one of the titles into buying extra issues or another collection. But thanks to my digital Marvel Unlimited subscription I was able to just flip from Deadpool over to Thunderbolts without paying any money at all. So I win! What’s that? My Unlimited subsc...
Meh. It was ok. Not Daniel Way's best work, probably because he had to do a cross over with a B-list title.
3.5/5 Stars
Thunderbolts vs Deadpool. It's pretty much exactly what you would expect. All action with banter and an angry Osborn.
Set during Dark Reign after Secret Invasion, Deadpool knows something about Norman Osborn that he doesn’t want others to know so Norman sends the Thunderbolts out to kill Deadpool. But they don’t have to look far as he’s after Norman himself for owing him cash - time for a good old-fashioned supervillain smackdown! Though I enjoy all of Daniel Way’s Deadpool books, I didn’t love this crossover, partly because Way only writes half with Andy Diggle writing the other, less spectacular half, but par...
For some reason, this crossover feels exactly like four issues of Deadpool. I'm ok with that, because I don't give a toss for the Thunderbolts. It does tie into the greater Dark Reign storyline, in that you need to have a vague knowledge of what was going on with Osborn at the time. (I hate this storyline, incidentally...) But ignore all of that and focus on Deadpool being completely insane and it's a pretty fun ride.
After Tiger Shark isn't able to kill Hawkeye/Bullseye? takes over and gives it his all. But even without crazy brain Deadpool outsmarts him while simultaneously fulfilling his childhood dream of fighting while wearing a meat suit. Beaten Bullseye decides to pay off Deadpool in Norman Osborns name to make sure Deadpool doesn't try to take credit for stopping the Skrull invasion.A month later, ships himself in the head because he's so friggin bored. Classic.
Deadpool goes gunning for Norman Osborn after the weird-haired one stole something from him. Nothing ever being simple, Ozzy sics his new Thunderbolts squad on Wade, forcing DP to call in some help of his own.While this was nothing outstanding, it was a solid Deadpool story with all the over-the-top violence, stoopid humour and misplaced romance you'd expect. It also had decent art. I enjoyed it.
I admit: I have no clue who the Thunderbolts are and I'd never read Deadpool before, though I'm familiar with his character just by being a Marvel fan. I decided to read all the Dark Reign trades, and this popped up on my radar. And I loved it.I started with "Deadpool, Vol. 2: Dark Reign", which provides a paragraph recapping this trade about halfway through. So, I stopped that book to read this one. Happily, readers don't need to know who the Thunderbolts are (or even read the other trade) beca...
Interesting crossover. I've not really read anything with the Thunderbolts or Dark Avenger teams, so this was a completely new thing for me. This is also my first foray into Secret War related things. I'll eventually dig into it some more, but right now, I'm just here for Deadpool. Liked the story, but the need for going between two collections for this crossover was quite the pain.
Deadpool trying to pick up Yelena is just the sweetest ever "Most women do not respond well to sexual advances made at gunpoint.""They don't? Um, I have a knife... is that better?" He's so considerate🥰 "That is a gun in my pants. But that doesn't mean I'm not happy to see you." 😍Go Wade !!!Also, that she probably was the one who sew his head back on? I need these two together asap
I only picked this up because I thought it would further the story of Songbird from the previous Thunderbolts. I was wrong, this is really just a story of Deadpool fighting the new, less interesting Thunderbolts. Really, I don't know what they were thinking with the new formation, it couldn't be less interesting. What saves this volume is that it's a Deadpool crossover and the Merc with a Mouth is in fine form. Though I was lost to what Wade was dealing with mentaly (this takes place in the midd...
This was a goofy dubbel crossing silly love story.
It had some good moments, some good action and some good jokes, the art was middling, in the end the story felt completely inconsequential and that’s what kept it at 3 stars
This just didn't do much for me. Deadpool himself was good, and his back and forth with Taskmaster was funny enough, but overall, lacking. I think the Thuderbolts suffered greatly in this book, looking like morons; Other than the Ghost and Ant-Man, there was the new Black Widow, and 2 other "Z-Listers" as Norman Osborn calls them. Completely non-essential. I really am hoping for a good Deadpool book sometime...I think I'll find one by accident.
Maybe it's just because I don't know the context at all, but this is one of the most boring Deadpool stories ever told. I'm actually going to use one of the Deadpool issue pages to illustrate a point on his early writing being gimmicky to the point of distraction, but otherwise, utterly pointless.
