Deadpool by Posehn & Duggan, Volume 3


    Deadpool's search for the daughter he didn't know he had continues. But before Wade can enact some blood-soaked revenge on those who've manipulated his past the Merc with a Mouth, he's got a little trip to take- down the aisle to holy matrimony. Though, based on who Deadpool's mystery bride is, should I say it's unholy?
    Before the 'I Do's', Deadpool is thrown the most epic bachelor's party aboard the USS Essex. After the 'I Do's', Deadpool and bride go on a honeymoon to Japan. Needless to say, neither locale will ever be the same again and probably had to be condemned afterwards.
    Deadpool's extensive and often confusing origin are explored in length in this omnibus edition. During an Original Sin crossover event, Agent Preston is shown visions of Deadpool's missing daughter while her partner Agent Adsit is shown a harrowing account of the death of Wade's parents. Meanwhile Deadpool is sent back in time to the 1950s in order to save Nick Fury from being assassinated by a time-travelling Adolf Hitler!
    Folks, you can't make this stuff up- that is unless you're authors Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan. The duo has often been criticized for being too zany in their stories. But zany and bizarre- isn't that the essence of the anti-hero?
     An insane collection of Deadpool tales that shed about as much light on the troubled mutant as it does muddy the waters a little bit more. But that's okay as I don't think we're ever supposed to really know Wade Wilson. Deadpool has got to have some surprises least he's just not that entertaining to read.

   Worth Consuming

  Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.

   This omnibus edition collects the following: Deadpool #26-34 and Annual #1.
