Deadpool Classic 9 Paperback – January 7, 2014

I've collected all Deadpool classic series throughout the years. I've seen some excellent writing (Joe Kelly) and some good writing too. Deadpool is a fascinating character, the anti-hero with a twisted sense of humor that loves to trow crazy lines when you least expect it. This specific issue by Gail Simone is not bad. There were some things that made me wonder how much character research went into account when this was written, just an easy example, it is common knowledge that Deadpool is fluent in German, Japanese and Spanish, well the guy is flying to Germany with his pal Ratbag and the flight attendant tells Deadpool, "Danke, dass sie mit uns geflogen sind!" to what Deadpool replies "I don't know what you just said but I'd pay good money to hear it again!".The story is quite good, there are lots of fun and hilarious moments, the art is done quite well in my opinion. The story with "The Rhino" is one of my favorites it is just hilarious. You get 272 pages, half of those are Deadpool (1997) issues # 65 to 69, the rest are Agent X issues # 1 to 6. Agent X is alright as well, in my opinion Agent X adds to the story, there are some hilarious moments in it as well, the Task Master and other memorable characters will be there as well. I just wished there was more Deadpool than Agent X in it. Enjoy it!

This book was really good. At least the Deadpool half was, anyway. The whole story arc with the Rhino was my favorite part. The other half of the book consisted of Agent X, and that half of the book was interesting. But it was not as good as the Deadpool half. Overall, I still recommend this book if you have read the Deadpool Classic series up to this point.

After taking some time away from the Merc with a Mouth, I'm glad to be back. Yet another good collection of stories with Deadpool, and we meet this new guy who may or may not be old Wade Wilson, plus the new character Outlaw. I wonder if everything will be set right in the next volume? (I'm pretty sure it does)

I won't give away anything away but if you like fast paced action, incredible depth in your writing, and laughing until you cry, you will love Gail Simone's take on Deadpool.She is definitely by far my favorite writer for this comic series.

Although I think some of the jokes in the first comic are a bit forced, Gail Simone definitely takes hold of the Deadpool character and makes him his own. This whole book is amazing and hilarious and I would recommend it to anyone who likes some good ole Deadpool. Agent x is also really awesome.

It’s so godam funny. Loved it. Buy it!

Story: Deadpool 65-69 - 5/5 Agent X 1-6 - 3/5Art: 5/5I loved the Deadpool stories. I liked the Agent X stories as well but Agent X isn't really as appealing or as enthralling as Deadpool so kiss my fat blubber. The art, however, is wonderful even though the action sequences are a little awkward. Overall, this collection is happy fun.

Ordered as a birthday gift for my son, he didn't know this book was out yet so he was not only happy but very surprised.

Deadpool's 1st run of comics are almost 90% great entertaining comics, a few off stories here and there, but they are all fun!

Gail Simone beendet die kontinuierliche Deadpool-Serie vorerst - und das mit einem Knall!Wade Wilson hat sich inzwischen seine eigene Söldner-Firma aufgebaut und nimmt Aufträge entgegen. Dabei gerät er an den Black Swan, ein Gegner, der ihn mit einem Fluch belegt, durch den er zunehmend seine ohnehin in Mitleidenschaft gezogenen Sinne verliert. Auf seinem Feldzug gegen den Schurken, bei dem er seine vollen Fähigkeiten zurückerlangen will, kommt es zum furiosen Showdown zwischen Deadpool und dem Black Swan - und er läutet gleichzeitig das Ende einer Ära ein.Und hier beginnt Gail Simone die Serie eines neuen Helden - Agent X, der sich gleich zu Anfang mit der Übermacht einer Organisation anlegt, gegen die er eigentlich keine Chance hat. Obwohl der Charakter neu eingeführt wird, ist man allerdings die meiste Zeit gar nicht so sicher, ob er wirklich ein Neuer, Unbekannter ist. Und genau das hilft, schnell auch für ihn Sympathie aufzubauen und das Gefühl zu entwickeln, man stecke eigentlich nach wie vor in einer Deadpool-Serie.Gail Simones Antihelden sprühen vor typischem Deadpool-Humor und dummen (aber lustigen) Sprüchen, zeigen aber trotzdem eine sehr menschliche Seite. Die Stories wissen zu fesseln, da der Autor es versteht, seine Figuren in scheinbar immer ausweglosere Situationen hineinzumanövrieren, wodurch man als Leser ständig das Gefühl hat, auf das Ende zuzugehen - das Ende der Helden? Der Serie? Man weiß es nicht, man will nur wissen, ob die Charaktere da doch noch irgendwie wieder rauskommen.Der Zeichenstil in diesem Band hat etwas leicht manga-haftes, was mir gut gefällt, obwohl ich Manga überhaupt nicht leiden kann. Dazu trägt auch die tolle, schattierungs- und variationsreiche Kolorierung bei.Der Band beendet eine Ära und beginnt eine neue ... und auch wenn man sich als Deadpool-Fan mit dem Gedanken vielleicht zunächst nicht anfreunden möchte, so schafft Gail Simone es doch, daß dieser Wechsel funktioniert. Die beiden Geschichten machen Spaß und ziehen in ihren Bann, sie sind nicht nur witzig, sondern auch spannend und gefühlvoll geschrieben. Ich gebe daher uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung für diesen Band.

As one of marvels biggest characters at the moment the market is flooded with many sub-par deadpool books. Mostly because they focus too heavily on the comedic goofball. The other half of his character is action, this book has both in spades. Accompanied by the always great artwork from UDON famous for their street fighter work. If you are unaware of udon, their art style is something of a cross between original manga and western comic drawing styles, the result is fantastic.Must own for any deadpool fan. If you enjoyed the art pick up the taskmaster mini series. If you enjoyed the story pick cable and deadpool

First page, I laughed. It's a good sign...
