Deadpool: Badder Blood #1

How many true friends does one have in a lifetime?. As friends do come and go, but there are ones with you until the end of the line. These are friends you can count on , at the drop of a hat. As they are your road dogs through thick and thin.

I have friends like that from high school. I have friends like that  through the military. I also have friends like that through past jobs.  In the debut issue of Deadpool: Badder Blood, Wade just happens to have such friends in Wolverine and Cable as he gets caught in Madripoor with Thumper, who is on rampage.

We are taken to Alaska, where Thumper has tracked down one of the scientists responsible for his creation, but thankfully Wolverine and Cable come to the rescue.  The two rescue the scientist and teleport to one of Cable’s safe houses where they meet up with Deadpool where Logan lets him know why Thumper was looking for him, and it is for far more nefarious reasons than the trio ever expected.  Deadpool heads to Madripoor where Thumper is building an army, which is why he goes to meets the island’s pirate queen, Tyger Tiger. By issue’s end,  Deadpool gets into a firefight with Thumper and runs into somewhat of a new frenemy.

Overall, Deadpool: Badder Blood #1 is a fun story that shows why Liefeld is considered one of the best in comics and has such a following. The story by Liefeld and Bowers is side splittingly funny. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story that die hard Deadpool fans will enjoy.

Review: Deadpool: Bad Blood #1

Deadpool: Bad Blood #1

People are funny in the way that they don’t really let you know what they think of you unless they need to.  Rarely do those situations come up, and when they do, it is often tenuous.  As people are often aggrieved through micro aggressions, making whatever situation, uncomfortable. It is through these unspoken exchanges, that people often forget why they even dislike someone.

Most of these tiffs are not anything that would turn into any real conflict. Most are strong contempt towards someone off a perceived difference, one which most likely will never be confirmed. Sometimes they become more, and would lead to misfortune that you did not see coming. In Deadpool: Bad Blood #1, Wade gets some unnecessary beef with a foe who he has no idea how he offended him.

We find Wade as he just finishes a job in New York City, when Thumper comes out of nowhere beats him senseless, as nothing Deadpool could do , can slow the big man down. As Wade is at wit’s end, he seeks out Domino for help, as he tries to retrace why Thumper may be after him. This leads Domino to recall to a mission when they were on X-Force. By issue’s end, we find out this may be even more complicated than Wade believed in the first place, as he starts to regret his past mistakes.

Overall, Deadpool: Bad Blood #1 is a funny and action packed romp that shows Liefeld at his best. The story by the creative team is pure joy. The art by the creative team is masterful. Altogether, this story is why fans have always loved the Merc with a Mouth.
