It's a graphic novel, but it has pages which make it a book and a heart wrenching story, so it's allowed.
I know comic books are not everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoy them, I'm not going to pretend that I know everything about them that ever existed, but I am a Deadpool fan, and I adore him.
Brief history of Deadpool
Real name is Wade Wilson. Deadpool is a Mercenary who has regenerative abilities. He got these abilities from the Weapon X program, like Wolverine. He joined to cure his cancer, which it did, but left him with horrific scars/tumors across his body and he never dies. Most other characters in the Marvel Universe call him crazy as he talks to the two other voices in his head. Is he a good guy? Well, he's pretty much in the grey area on that, but he usually does things for the right reasons.
He was created by Rob Liefeld in the 1990's, making his first appearance in New Mutants #98.
Mostly, I think he just wants friends, but is too scared to put himself out there.
Back to the post.
I think this story may have broken my heart a little bit, it started out all fun, as usual, with a romp of an issue where Deadpool is working alongside Luke Cage and Iron Fist, that has a ridiculous villain and 4th wall breaking antics, and then floor falls away, and your stomach drops, and it's such a straight story. Deadpool teams up with Wolverine and Captain America, and finds out about his past and it will leave you heartbroken.
The artwork in this book is wonderful.
All the heartbreak aside; this book has Deadpool, Captain America and Wolverine kicking ass! Serious ass-kicking. It's kick ass.
