A Graphic Year Week 8

This week, I read Deadpool Corp: Prelude (0.5) by Victor Gischler. After discovering the Deadpool Corp was a thing in Deadpool vs. Deadpool, I pounced on the used copies on Amazon because it’s currently out of print. There was a bit of backstory that would have been helpful but I saw how much those were selling for and decided to call it a day. There was a little bit of backstory I was missing but nothing that really got in the way of my enjoyment of the story.  

The prelude is when Deadpool rounds up Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, Dogpool, and Zombie Headpool to save the multiverse. It was interesting to see all of the different universes. I hope I can visit them again when it’s not so insanely expensive. It culminated in a battle for the Deadpool Corp to prove they were worthy to save the universe against robots and what appeared to be homicidal Carebear knockoffs. The last piece of the story was fun but done in a very dated computer graphic design that reminded me of the 1990s instead of the 2010s when it was published. I would have enjoyed the story more if the art wasn’t so off. I’m hoping this will shape up to be a fun series.
