Remender Deadpool is the best Deadpool.

The entire series is available on Marvel Unlimited, so do not pay for the overpriced omnibus. ( )

I liked it. It was dark and violent (as expected) and the story-lines ran together well which is par for the course with Remender. The art was good. The way things ended up with Daken was not expected the way things were going in the story and it was actually a deep moment with some real emotion attached to it. I really do expect that this will be one that will shoot up in price once it sells out.

Now, to the philosophy behind how things went down, I was a little surprised they dealt with the subject as it is/can be nuanced. There is a time to kill bad people. Comics have not always recognized this reality in their stories. But you can take that overboard to. And finding the right line was part of the story of this team. They didn't fully resolve how everyone felt about all this but the ending of the team was a natural finish for the run and was handled well.

Deadpool has sometimes been written so that I felt he was just a villain somehow getting away with calling himself a hero. He was written very well here. His wisecracks helped lift the dark tone of the book and we see him make some altruistic choices that help you believe he really is one of the good guys. ( )

This is one of the best creator runs in recent years. Remender takes the Black-Ops unit of X-Men and takes them to some dark, twisted places. If you love the X-Men you really must check out what happens with Apocalypse and Archangel. Opena's art throughout is so good that you will want to spend several minutes pouring over each panel. ( )
