A Graphic Year Week 9

I meant to post this sooner but Week 9 is my birthday week so I was little distracted planning a party and being grateful I had so many wonderful people with whom to celebrate. I read the next graphic novel in the Deadpool Minibus: Deadpool vs Carnage.

After fighting different versions of himself, Deadpool must have been more in tune with the universe because his TV sent him a message about how he is the only one crazy enough to stop Carnage. After that he kept seeing signs from the universe on his journey to find and stop Carnage.

I knew very little about Carnage going in but he looked to be the same sort of critter as Venom, a symbiote originally from the Spiderman comics. I was correct and his invincibility made him a very interesting foe for Deadpool. The fight simply couldn't end with someone dying because both characters are near impossible to kill. Deadpool had to tap into Carnage's version of crazy and outsmart him. It was very fun to watch this happen.

There was a moment that shows, as bad as Deadpool can be, the foes he fights are often worse. One of the most brutal deaths in Carnage's rampage wasn't even shown but the implied violence reminded us why Deadpool is a hero. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the Deadpool Corps and Night of the Living Deadpool have to offer.
