Well ok then. I am not sure why I even picked up this volume as I am not a Deadpool fan. Well I like the movies and the character, but I truly despise the piss-poor quality of his comics. The writers turn him into a very low-brow version of Spiderman's humor. It rarely works. At least for me. I got 160 pages into this volume before giving up. It's cheesy, the humor mostly UNfunny, the art is nothing special...I could go on..but it's Deadpool.

So Deadpool takes a contract from AIM to go to the Savage Land and retrieve an object. Along the way he finds a zombified Deadpool head that has taken over a tribe of cavemen. Along with some random, overly sexy AIM Doctor and Ka-Zar, Deadpool dumbfucks his way through the savage land. Then the story really gets weird and Deadpool goes to different realities and fights different versions of himself (such as a Deadpool who is head of SHIELD) and some other heroes (Cap America makes an appearance). It's mostly dumb.

In fact..why am I writing a review of this DNF 1 star? Maybe a hard-core Deadpool fan will like this. Me? Count me out.

This is a very heavy read for a Deadpool fan. First off the book is really thick, and there is a lot going on in it. The book has deadpool going to the jungle where he meets this safari scientist. Seems simple but this is Marvel's first attempt at recreating DC's idea of having parallel earths. In this book Deadpool jumps universes meeting alternate versions of himself. Its a lot to take in but this is a funny humorous and very action packed book! Highly recommend it!

Sadly, not the best storyline. Mostly because it just drags on and on much longer than it should have. This could have been six issues and everybody would have been happier. Also, I got fed up with the fanservice in the first issue, and it just never stopped. Dr. Betty is criminally underdressed for somebody stationed in the Savage Land. I think Kazar had more square inches of fabric in his wardrobe. This kind of thing really irritates me, and if it were a regular feature of the mainline Deadpool comics, I wouldn't read them. The covers, collectively, were the best part of the collection. Possibly because they had nothing to do with the story, being parodies of iconic movie posters, book and album covers.

My wife and I went to dinner with one of her coworkers a little while back, and I guess she and her boyfriend enjoyed hanging out with us, as they invited over to their place last weekend for drinks. He had some comics on his shelf and we got to talking comics. With them being from France, I was talking about Moebius, Jason, Trondheim, etc., but it turns out he loves Marvel, and Deadpool in particular. So he loaned this one to me, saying it's the funniest comic he's ever read.

Short version: I don't look forward to telling him I disagree!

Long version: It's not really terrible. Gischler's trying to have fun with it, and Dazo's art is effective. But all the good lines are lifted from movies, which gets tiresome quickly, and the entire story is hung up on being a sequel to Marvel Zombies, which leaves me totally uninterested.

I am sorry what? The objectification and sexualization of Betty is insane. In most if not all of the pages she shows upp either her boobs or ass is completly out, and or she is in a sexual pose. I read a chapter of this book and i am already annoyed. I am not going to dnf this just because i want to see just how far the Misogyny goes. It's not a suprise that all the people who worked on this comic are man.Dr. Betty is there for the sake of attracting horny straight male dudes. She could literarly be replaced with anybody and you woudn't notice because she has no personality. The writers didn't bother giving her one, what they did instad was give her huge boobs with a tiny waist and hope for the best. I love deadpool, he is my all time favorite because he HAS a personality, he's funny too so they just really didn't bother.
these were my notes 2 chapters into this book. But i really love deadpool so i kept going. I really wish i didn't.
the art is good and i can apricciate that, but the misogyny ower shadows everything for me.

I love Deadpool, but this storyline was just ok and the female characters were so oversexualized, it was gross.

What more could you want from Deadpool...how about that zombie-fied head from the Marvel Zombies universe.
Deadpool and Headpool in the savage land and space. Teaming up with a good looking scientist from A.I.M trying to avoid Hydra both corporations want to weaponize Headpool.
Who will end up with the hungry head?
Will Deadpool get the girl?
Who can say but it's a fun ride!

Zombie Deadpool

You know what you are getting with Deadpool but when you have two of them, it’s almost too much. Overall, interesting premise, some great ink on some of the panels.

Это просто изумительная работа сценариста Виктора Гишлера, от которой должны быть в восторге все поклонники Дэдпула. Увлекательный сюжет, наполненный действом и шикарными поворотами, искрометные диалоги, просто море умопомрачительного юмора, от которого просто можно рыдать (от смеха, разумеется), ну и неплохие персонажи, все это заслуга автора этого комикса, который написал новую главу о похождениях языкастого наемника.

На этот раз Пул соглашается на небольшое путешествие на Дикую Землю, чтобы добыть некое биологическое оружие (которым оказывается его собственная зомби-голова из параллельной вселенной). Естественно, соглашается он на это задание не за бесплатно. На протяжении тринадцати выпусков Уэйду предстоит встретить агентов Гидры, зомби, Чудище, двойников из параллельных измерений и огромное множество других колоритных персонажей.

Также однозначным плюсом этого комикса является его прекрасный, яркий и красочный рисунок, в котором особенно удачно получились экшен-сцены (которых тут очень и очень много), а также различные персонажи.

Шикарный том, который позволит смеяться до слез на некоторых сценах, просто улыбаться чуть ли не на каждой странице, восхищаться рисунком, и с нетерпением прочитывать страницу за страницей, желая поскорее узнать, что же сценарист подкинет Дэдпулу дальше, какую нелепость вытворит герой после, какой проскользнет искрометный диалог и наконец, какая новая отсылка на поп-культуру появится (а их тут просто не сосчитать, взять хоть те же восхитительные обложки, каждая из которых является отсылкой к чему-нибудь прекрасному, например: отсылка к "The Silence of the Lambs", "Alien", "Dawn of the Dead", "Scarface" или "Lone Wolf and Cub").

Meh.

There was a point somewhere where I really liked Deadpool. I don't remember when it was, exactly, though I know it was when Siryn was one of his supporting cast. One of these days I'm going to find the reprints of those comics and see if I still like them, but this one... I dunno, it took all the good stuff about Deadpool and drove it into the ground. It's basically just a slapstick farce with nothing underneath. It didn't do me any harm, I don't guess, but I'm not in any hurry to read more of it.

So, Deadpool is never going to be a literature excellence but it can be very fun. Here, Victor Gischler and Bong Dazo deliver a hilarious look at Deadpool's adventure with his alternate reality version of his zombified head. Yeah, sounds insane but its very funny and is exactly what one expects from a Deadpool book. Dazo's art is clean and dynamic. Even though I haven't read any of the Marvel Zombies' books it didn't hamper any of the story elements. Overall, a very fun book.

Dr. Betty was pretty terrible in that she's entirely there for eye candy. Her outfits rarely make sense. Her underwear are far too visible. It's silly.

The story itself should have been condensed a few issues. There are some really good jokes sprinkled throughout, but if this had bee a bit tighter they could have made stronger impressions.

The multiple different Deadpools are the best part of this.

Kippus veits venima ja sain aru, et varem ei olnudki ma lugenud asju, kus daamid on joonistatud n-ö koomiksistiilis (see läks ikka kähku väsitavaks), aga mulle Deadpool meeldib. Skisofreenia tundub superkangelastele yldse omane olevat, aga kui harilikult väljendub see vihjamisi hingevaevades ja identiteedikriisides, siis Deadpoolil on see nii armsasti esiplaanil. Ta elaks nagu oma isiklikus pidevas tobekomöödias.

Zajímavá zápletka se zombí hlavou, nicméně příběh je šíleně natáhlý a má tunu hluhých míst, které vyplňuje akorát akce. Vedlejší postavy jsou neuvěřitelně otravné (profesorka, která tam je akorát proto, aby mohl kreslíř dát na každou stránku výstřih) a Gischlerova Pool-O-Vision (či jak se to jmenovalo) mi taky vůbec nesedla. Občas se vynoří nějaká fajn hláška/scéna, sešit z alternativních vesmírů byl fajn, ale jako celek mě to nebavilo.

A long read for what the story is but Deadpool makes it all worth while. There is plenty of fourth-wall breaking, crazy thought bubble fighting, and plenty of pop culture references to keep the funny bits coming. The plot gets insane fast as it involves lots of portals, zombies, and even dinosaurs. It was a fun comic.

The story often drags and feels like Gischler is thinking aloud about what to do next, but Head Trip is generally a fun read with enough Deadpool insanity to set it apart from standard comic storylines.

This was our selection for Deadpool on Arc Reactions Podcast and it is very mysoginous and the humor was average at best. The story goes around in a full circle and you feel like nothing was accomplished by the end

Purely ridiculous and indulgent. An enjoyable story and decent art (you know, except for that Liefeld segment in the middle there). Also, Zombie T-Rex. Headpool, I am glad to know of you.

And okay Deadpool comic. You still have moments where you burst out laughing, but the story dragged quite a bit, and there just wasnt enough verbal quip to make up for it. So three stars.
