Reviewer Comments:
Deadpool #17 sees our hero (anti-hero? not a hero?) Wade Wilson in the midst of his latest crisis of conscience. He's been a Canadian military operative, a gun for hire, and most recently a pirate (yes, a pirate). However, he's now decided that after all his life in a gray area he wants to do something good. So what does he do? Join the x-men, and in true Deadpool fashion he's an x-man on his own terms. Those terms just happen to be one-liner slinging, comedically psychotic, assassination attempting terms.
Deadpool is one of those books that from month to month is consistently great. It's fun and funny and somehow finds a way to fit in with the continuity of the larger marvel universe while doing it (much like Deadpool himself) on its own terms. Daniel Way is incredibly consistent in his writing here. Every month he turns in scripts with insane ideas that somehow come together to form a comic that is action packed, quirky, and hilarious.
He's backed up by a great art team featuring Paco Medina on pencils, Juan Vlasco handling the inks, and Marte Gracia on colors. The art team on the book is just as consistent with the look and feel of the book as Way is with his scripts. From issue one there has been a fairly consistent look to this Deadpool series that both highlights the outrageous action, while keeping the character interaction intimate enough for the outlandish dialogue to come through in spades. VC's Joe Sabino also does a great job with the lettering, ably keeping all of Deadpool's inner voices (of which there are many) in line with the composition of the page.
If your not picking this book up your really missing out on one of the funnest comic books on the stands, and a funny and clever view of the marvel universe.
