I'm still not too sure about Priest....
Good Points: If there is one thing to say about Christopher
Priest, his take on Deadpool and this issue, it's that he knows
how to funny, rollicking comic book story. This issue, again, is
definitely humourous, from the little things in the Flashbacks to
the way Deadpool reacts to not being able to kill anyone. This really
reminds of the full-on romps that Deadpool had in his limited series
and some Kelly issues.
The art isn't too bad, but after 3 issues of the same, I hope Paco
Diaz changes some of the way he lays out a page or someone else
more interesting takes over. That doesn't mean it was reasonable
art though.
Bad Points: Now onto why I'm still not too
sure about Priest.
While I like the what is happening in general, Deadpool
just doesn't seem as interesting as he used to be. The depth to
his character and to his stories just doesn't seem to be there.
I no longer feel like I read Deadpool because I interested in him
as a character, but because it's a fun book. Which isn't really
or that bad a thing, but still worries me. Kelly used to mix it
up a bit and Priest has only really shown a talent for fun. Maybe
I'm hoping for too much....but hopefully Priest can add that little
bit more that will turn me into a mindless Deadpool fanboy again.
Oh, and I really don't like the idea of Deadpool being
a snot man for the rest of his comic days, this would be a really
bad move.
