A Graphic Year Week 4: Thy Enemy Is Thyself

Working my way through the Minibus brought me next to Deadpool Kills Deadpool. Following the adventures of killing the Marvel universe and great heroes of literature in the multi-verse, Deadpool concludes that he must be the creator of these worlds instead of the inhabitants on the other side of the 4^th wall. Now he makes it his mission to kill all Deadpools to free them from the tyranny of suffering.

I think my favorite random Deadpools were Pandapool (the species that makes you extinct) and Groot Deadpool. Some of the other Deadpools were impressive. I may have to nickname a future pet Dogpool and the robot Deadpool was funny for all 5 panels he was in. It combined the violent insanity that is Deadpool with the philosophical nature that comes from (literally) fighting oneself. I felt like this really hit on the essence of this character.

The only downside is that I discovered a short, out-of-print series of the Deadpool Corp. Since this finally gave me the story on who blonde Deadpool (Wanda Wilson) was, I splurged and bought them. Fun fact, people will charge through the nose on out of print comics. I’m embarrassed to admit what I paid so I’m not going to. I’m not pleased with the amount I spent but I finally get the dish on Wanda and Dogpool so I’ll make my peace when the comics arrive. Next week, Deadpool Kills Carnage.
