Deadpool: Space Oddity
Ground Control to Major Deadpool! After bumping off Macho Gomez, the galaxy's top assassin, Deadpool heads into space to increase his intergalactic cred. Abandoning his plans to become one of Earth's heroes, he decides to stop pulling punches, knives, swords, bullets, grenades and so forth. Everyone's favorite fun-loving killer-for-hire is back with a new job and a new lady! Will this cement him as the solar system's best, most ruthless mercenary - or will things like lack of oxygen and zero-gravity throw him off his game? One word: maybe! Wade's first contract is a doozy, as he's hired to kill Id the Selfish Moon. This body is anything but heavenly and travels through space destroying planets. For this super-sized job, Deadpool follows his usual credo: The bigger the problem, the more insane the solution! Collecting DEADPOOL (2008) #33.1 and #32-35.

Deadpool in SPAAAAAAACE!
Wade gets into a beef with an interstellar hit man on Earth and afterwards he decides that he’s tired of trying (And failing.) to be a superhero so he’s going back to being a mercenary. But he also wants to be known as the greatest mercenary in the galaxy so he swipes the hit man’s ride and takes to the stars. Once there Wade immediately ends up getting space married and then hired to take on a homicidal moon.
Yep. It’s just an average week for Deadpool.
This is just solid fun if you’ve gotten into the groove that Daniel Way has laid down. He’s walking a fine line between making Deadpool crazy and dangerous still while finding ways to have him be the ‘good’ guy in the story. It’s fast, it’s funny, and the sly meta jokes about Deadpool’s awareness that he’s in a comic book are clever and not used to the point they become annoying. It’s also refreshing to be able to read one of these trades and get a self-contained story.

After Deadpool encounters Macho Gomez, supposedly the galaxy’s greatest mercenary, he blasts off into space to prove to the universe there’s no-one more badass at merc-ing than him. How? By marrying a space hippo and picking a fight with a drug-addicted moon of course!
Alriiiiight, we’re back to quality with Deadpool, Volume 7: Space Oddity! Turns out the shot in the arm the series needed was to send Wade into spaaaace!
The Macho Gomez issue was full of fun violence with Wade inventively beating him and stealing his cosmic car. I also really liked the villain of this story, Id the Selfish Moon (like Ego the Living Planet - geddit, Ego, Id? Psychology puns! See, it’s not all fart jokes with Deadpool - just mostly!).
The whole story is wonderfully batty and over-the-top. I’ve no idea why Wade had to marry a space hippo but it was funny so maybe that’s why (thankfully we’re spared visuals from their wedding night)! And, as if to underline the brainlessness of it all, Daniel Way lifts a major plot-point from Michael Bay’s Armageddon!
For no reason (beef up the page count?) there’s a random one-shot included where Deadpool’s hired to clear out the tenants of an apartment building only to discover one of them is The Wrecker - and the job isn’t as straightforward as he thought anyway. It’s not a bad issue but it feels tonally out of place alongside the space adventure and doesn’t compare well against its imaginative storytelling.
The book’s also filled with amazing interior art from a number of talented artists like Sheldon Vella, Carlo Barberi and Bong Dazo, not to mention Dave “The Reverend” Johnson’s fantastic covers.
Space Oddity really makes the grade (Major Tom) - enormously enjoyable wacky entertainment any Deadpool fan will get a kick out of!

One thing I like about reading Deadpool comics is the fact you don't need any commitment. This series by Daniel Way more so because of the limited backmatter the character has and that the writer is establishing his own canon for this run. One could read a random volume of the trades and not worry about the continuity. The "no-worrying about continuity" is the draw.
The title to the trade, "Space Oddity", is one of my favorite David Bowie tracks. That song was a classic; this book is not. This is a collection of ultimately forgettable stories. I read this a while back and I couldn't recall any detail of it during my reread.
If you're into collecting Deadpool trades, this may have already found a place on your place, but if you're looking for a Deadpool story to read because of all the hoopla surrounding the upcoming movie, skip this.

In a word: meh. If I didn't like Deadpool so much, I'd rate it even lower. Possibly my least favorite trade from this iteration of Deadpool. Luckily, the episodic nature of the storylines (or, if you're less charitable, write-for-the-trade) means that what happens here will mostly stay here and I won't have to worry about it again. Yay!

Really enjoyed this volume, way more zangy then the previous ones.

I like that each story arc in this series stands on its own. It makes for accessible and varied idiocy, and leaves Deadpool free to go completely off the rails. It may not have the draw of a series that builds upon itself, but its certainly very fun and often laugh-out-loud funny. However, we are STILL dealing with this dumb theme of Deadpool wishing to be hero, and it is so damn cheesy that I can't forgive it.
This time around we get Deadpool facing off against a sentient moon that's going around the universe getting high by destroying and snorting planets. Pretty standard! It leaps into the absurd immediately and doesn't let up, and I blew through it. The reason I give it 3 stars, though, is that it's not quite funny enough to be brilliant, and it's not quite well-crafted enough to be compelling. It just kind of sits in the middle. I think Daniel Way has the ability to be a very funny writer, but he often just misses the mark.

This story is about deadpool, it is the 7th book in a series and is extremely interesting. Deadpool goes on a mission he is sent on, to go fight the living planet, ego. Along the way deadpool finds a wife and a new way of living for a while to defeat ego. His wife’s name is Orska. Orska is a big and intimidating alien that falls in love with deadpool. Orska is the widow of Macho, the previous guy deadpool defeated. Overall a lot happens in this story. The art style is like a traditional superhero comic. Deadpool is a dynamic character in this story

Deadpool's still funny, but this current run is starting to feel a little samey. Not only that, but it seems to be pale shadows of some of his earlier adventures. Its not bad exactly, but its also not as good as previous entries.

I'm not a giant fan of space stuff, especially when it comes to current day kind of stuff, so this wasn't my favorite. Deadpool had some good lines, like usual, but this just wasn't really my cup of tea.

Deadpool in space doing really heroic stuff? Awesome. Sucks that no one on Earth will ever know. He just wants some validation guys😭

Deadpool gets hitched?!? Well, sort of.
This lacked the lightness of the previous volume, but it was still fun.

Full of all the wise cracks, violence, weirdness and mayhem you hope for with Deadpool... in space!

Liked it, enjoyable, as usual, Deadpooly.

Deadpool in space is a bust. It's not funny enough, so best just ignore this volume. The author must have had a bad time, because he couldn't make it shine.
Macho Gomez is the galaxy's foremost mercenary. Is he a match for Deadpool?

A perfectly cromulent Deadpool story. I think the beginning of Way's run on Deadpool is some of the best writing on a Deadpool series since its inception. Volume six was terrible. And while this is significantly better, it's nowhere near the quality of the first few volumes.
This is a fun space adventure with very little ties to non-Deadpool canon. i wasn't familiar with any of the alien races nor the family, which reminded me of the robot farmers on the moon from Futurama, that Deadpool marries into. It's silly. It has some very Deadpool-style jokes. The plot is easy to follow. It's a solid, if uninspiring Deadpool story.
It's not so good that non-Deadpool fans need to bother with it, but if you enjoyed any of Daniel Way's run, I think this one will keep you entertained.

It combines Deadpool in with a Sci-Fi expanded universe, which I'm sure has some significance in the grander MCU.
Deadpool delivers his usual Merc with a Mouth attitude in this zany space soap opera.

I'm gonna round up my 3.5 because I actually reallyiked the art of the space stuff and I thought there was some good content in 33.1. But like, y'know. We sticking with the same mediocre stuff as the rest of this run so far tbh. I might skip forward to the 2012 run and get this over with.

Deadpool in spaaaace! Eh. The one shot with The Wrecker was a lot of fun, though!

Just when you thought a Deadpool comic couldn't get any crazier, this volume comes out...
A story that starts mostly harmful, quickly turns into an encounter with a space criminal who looks like a green Mexican who ate alot of junk food!
If you think he's the craziest thing you'll see in this volume, you're wrong.
Obese aliens, a psychotic murderous planet, a space repo company, and (do I dare to say this out loud?)... A new wife for Deadpool.
What's wrong with that, you ask? Well... I'm not a person to judge, but just look for yourself.
A fun story, with lots of craziness and plenty of action, which we are used to with Deadpool.
The most interesting fact is, that this series takes you on a complete new adventure with each volume. There's a plot you can easily follow (Deadpool who tries to be a hero), yet it takes you to a complete new place which yu wouldn't expect.

Whoa, what happened here? I found myself actually liking this trade!
The first issue is a point one (a "jumping on" point, even though it is set in the middle of a story arc), in which Deadpool is hired to make the Wrecker vacate an apartment. But things aren't what they seem, and Deadpool makes some different decisions. I really liked this issue and thought that Way captured Deadpool well (never thought that I would say that).
The next issue, which leads into the "Space Oddity" arc, involves Deadpool tangling with the "best" merc in the galaxy, Macho Gomez, who is ridiculous. But I found myself liking this issue too, mainly because Deadpool totally wipes him in the end, and in a creative way, too.
And then "Space Oddity" was good, too. I'm shocked. Deadpool's in space, and he's hired to take out a selfish moon named Id, which is going around blowing up planets. In the end, he saves the day in an unexpected way. And there's a touch of angst here, too. I like it.

Solid!
The first issue is a nice one off that involves Deadpool and some sleazy landlords, it's more entertaining than it sounds. The second issue introduces us to the best bounty hunter in the universe which sets up the next story arc, Deadpool in Space! Yay!!!!
Deadpool's humor is on point and the supporting characters are interesting. Also the villain is a giant moon! Aside from getting married, Deadpool also manages to be our beloved anti-hero, saving aliens and getting no Earthly recognition.
This is one of the best stories in the series due to a solid setup, fun setting, and classic Deadpool humor.

Génial ! Tout d'abord, Deadpool doit expulser The Wrecker de sa résidence ce qui n'est évidemment pas simple. Ensuite, il est embarqué dans une histoire intergalactique à cause d'un mercenaire extra-terrestre du nom de Macho Gomez et doit détruire une lune vivante !
Deadpool fait n'importe quoi, comme d'habitude mais agit toujours comme le doivent les vrais héros même quand ses deux voix intérieures essaient de l'en dissuader.
Un tome drôle et burlesque, EXTRÊMEMENT BIEN illustré... bref, un bon moment de détente.

I don't usually enjoy space adventures but Deadpool style was a hilarious and fun read. Deadpool's space journey starts when the top assassin in the galaxy comes after him. Afterwards, he takes his heroic pursuit (and for intergalactic recognition) to space and battles Id, the selfish moon to save entire planets from being consumed. My favorite part was the crop circle that he had created on one of the planets to taunt Id. This volume contains issues 32-35 and claims issue 33.1 but all I saw was the recap page explaining the break from storyline, not the story itself.

Deadpool in Space!
It's weird, and a nice change of pace, with people acting a bit less like he is totally insane, since they don't realize this isn't normal for humans. The aliens are suitably wacky, and it relates to some odd, old Marvel space stuff... though only for the main villain. It was enjoyable, but I'm also kind of glad it didn't overstay its welcome. The short side story was a fun diversion, as well.

Deadpool tries to go heartless rogue for hire in the latest merc with a mouth adventure, with several spankin new stories.
Deadpools comics have the exact right blend of action, comedy and heart to keep you entertained the whole way through. I need to give it another read tonight to soak up every graphic, blood splat and quip this issue has to offer.

There was just something about this volume. It had charisma and spunk and I found myself grinning and laughing through the whole thing. It was everything I expected out of a Deadpool graphic novel.
Deadpool seemed exactly like himself. In certain novels, he can get a bit out of character (I feel like). He was just the right kind of crazy.
This is problem my favorite book so far.

Eh... Space.
Although for some reason I am happy that Deadpool got some lovin'. He is so good at keeping serious situations light that I think he deserves a win now and then, even if his girl looks like a space hippo.

Would have gone with a two-star rating if not for the hilarious origin stories of Id and Ego from Deadpool's vantage point and a few super funny jokes interspersed here and there. Warning: this is even dumber than your average DP book. Easily my least favorite installment of the Way-era.
