Deadpool: The Circle Chase

Rating:
Summary: Thank god for Joe Kelly
Review: Deadpool is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Funny, action-packed and sometimes poignant are some of the adjectives I'll use to describe his stories. With this collected edition of his first mini-series, you could see the developmental evolution of Deadpool. In this book, the villains, the stories and other characters were lame, and Deadpool was pushing the edge of corny and contrived. There was an interesting subplot with Domino but the book concentrated on some forgettable villain. I'm sorry Mr. Nicieza. Even if Deadpool was your creation, it was Joe Kelly who made him my and other fan's favorite.

The book is written by Fabian Nicieza(X-Force,which this has many links with,X-Men,Gambit) and drawn and inked by superstar Joe Madureira(Uncanny X-Men,BattleChasers) and Mark Farmer/Harry Candelario and was released to co-incide with Deadpool's new series from Marvel,written and drawn by Joe Kelly and Walter McDaniel.
