It’s trying to fill a ten gallon beer stein with five gallons of beer. And here’s the problem, you have a mediocre Deadpool writer in Duggan trying to squeeze Deadpool into a-someone-else’s-version-of Hawkeye storyline. On the Deadpool timeline (HA!), this takes place right after he worked with SHIELD and right before he got married to a hot vampire.* It features Hawkeye and Kate Bishop, the versions that Matt Fraction took great pains to create. This volume answers the question: If Deadpool took Valium, what would he be like?

Two and a half stars generously rounded up. If you're a casual fan that's not clamoring for MOAR!, or maybe just a die-hard R rated Deadppol junkie, then this might not be for you. If you love these characters, don't miss it. The gist is that Hawkeye fucked up, slammed the door in the wrong guy's face, let said guy get killed, has to team up with The Amazing Captain Pool to avenge Random Guy's death, and drags his adorable partner along for the ride. But.on the upside, this is one that you can safely give as a gift to your grandmother.ĭepending on your Gammy's sense of humor, of course! This was the PG13 version of Deadpool, so don't go into it expecting his usual level of raunchy gore. Yes, I did like her before, but this really solidified her as a Character To Watch in this one. Kate was a huge comedy relief that I wasn't expecting, and I have to admit, she really won me over in this one. It might have been missing some magic, but it was still a good read. The art was fun, the story was fast-paced, and there were plenty of funny moments.

Deadpool & Hawkeye are two characters that I love to read about, so this was going to be a winner for me regardless.unless Duggen just shit the bed entirely. There was just something that I can't put my finger on that kept this from rocketing into 5 star material for me. The Avenger with the power to shoot arrows really well. Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever not really, two of Marvel's sorta /kinda/depending on who you talk to flagship characters together in one title!Ī mercenary with a face like an old ashtray, the ability to regenerate that borders on immortality, and a few mild mental issues.
