Deadpool is one of those characters that I'd heard lots about but had very little exposure to. I'd not read any of his comics but had seen the character in the Hulk vs Wolverine cartoon where he was excellent fun and also of course his sort of appearance in the Wolverine movie.This 5 issue mini is as the name suggests a scene setter for a Deadpool series featuring the 5 Deadpools - the obvious one, 'Tito' (the kid), 'Cujo' (the dog), 'Shorty No Pockets' (the disembodied zombie head) & 'Boobs' (the lady).
In this series we see them all collected together from Xavier's orphanage, a circus sideshow, a tropical island and a battle with General America. It culminates with them winning a capture the flag competition against some colourful teddy bears and some robots in order to win the chance to save the multiverse.
It was silly but not really funny enough. Some of the art was nice but Kyle Baker's remains as unappealing to me as ever.
OK but not great.
