Deadpool Classic, Vol. 1
I must say that it’s a bit unfair Marvel didn’t continue publishing Deadpool by Joe Kelly after Mission Improbable TPB. Oh well.
This TPB collects some great stuff (Madureira mini series, Deadpool number one) with some that were not so great (Ian Churchill did great art but story was so so).
If you want to follow Deadpool in Deadpool Classics v2, you need this one OR Mission Improbable if you can’t find Classics v1. Rating: 3 / 5
My husband really loved this comic book and it was delivered ontime and in great conditions. Rating: 5 / 5
The price is twenty bucks and you get the following. First appearance of Deadpool, TWO full four comic first stories of Deadpool, and the official Deadpool #1. This book isn’t missing anything, and would be a great collection for diehard fans. I love this book because I couldn’t track down the first stories. They are a perfect representations of how you want a smart mouthed assasin to be. I fully advise anyone to buy this if you want to see a guy with gadgets whoop keister and take llamos. Rating: 5 / 5
You get Deadpool’s first appearance in New Mutants #1, his first two mini-series, and the first issue of the classic Joe Kelly run. Good stuff. Sure, it skips a few of his X-Force appearances, but those will probably end up in an X-Force Classic one of these days where they will work better anyway. Support this book so we can get the complete Joe Kelly run collected. Rating: 4 / 5
I think it’s great Marvel made a classic tpb for Deadpool. It’s a great thing for fans who are interested in his beginnings. Unfortunately, this trade isn’t great for longtime hardcore fans, as it’s missing several early issues, unfortunately 4 of these set up his first limited series, which is in this trade.
Casual fans may not care, but as a long time Deadpool fan, many of the issues aren’t included. In addition to the X-Force (3, 4)/Spider-Man (16) crossover (where Deadpool kidnaps Black Tom, setting the X-villain up for a tree experimentation and Deadpool’s limited), it’s missing Deadpool’s battle with Weapon X noob Kane (XF 2), two fights with Cable and Domino (XF 14 and 15) and Secret Defenders 15 (with Luke Cage, who has been gaining popularity in his New Avengers appearances). It’s unfortunate that these aren’t in a “classic” trade.
The art is terrible (Liefeld), but it’s also short on that stick as it focuses on his limited series, featuring then rising superstar Joe Madureira. Also notable is issue 1 (which seems out of place here and would have been better off in a DP Classic 2, with a run of those issues). Rating: 2 / 5
