Fun Fun Fun. Very good start laying things as to what's going to happen.. Wade's being... well.. himself, as always. And I gotta say Seeley writes a fun Deadpool. Read Guardians Team-Up and liked it and now this new mini-series that I think will do great.
Very nice artwork and a bunch of irony and jokes inside.
Also, not sure if this is a Deadpool VS Thanos series or.......a team-up! Either way, it reads fine and it's entertaining!

Confusing at times and perhaps not as fun as it might have been.

Deadpool vs. Thanos, alongside Mrs. Deadpool and the Howling Commandos was an attempt at holding the fans off until between Marvel Now's Deadpool and Deadpool 2015. Interestingly enough the snack, in this case, was far better than the meal if you've been following the series like me. The fact that the mini-series here was better than what was to follow in the main series is unforgivable, especially since it was hyped up so much.
Tim Seeley, the main writer of Deadpool vs. Thanos seems to be better versed with the Deadpool series than the sad state Gerry Duggan has somehow reverted to with the recent line. And all it took Seeley was to at least put an effort into his writing and not try and half-ass it all in one late night cram. It actually feels competent, which much of the 2015 series does not. You can tell he cares about what he's doing, even if some of the results are a little questionable. Sadly though this isn't the plot important one.
Just from the name alone you should have a basic idea of what the plot should focus on. As any Marvel fan knows Death is a love interest for both Thanos and Deadpool, because she's attractive or something, therefore knowing how Thanos is he's probably interested in taking Deadpool out of the equation. That's the direction the plot appears to be going as well, but I won't get into any spoilers.
At the base the plot sounds simple, but Tim Seeley somehow managed to make it feel a lot more complex than it really was. I don't know if this was intentional or not... but it makes it feel more plot important than it actually is, but at the same time it's a little overwhelming to have so much lore pelted at your face. It should have been toned down a notch, but it still works.
The artwork here isn't anything to harp on about but it does look gruff and a bit brutal. This feels perfect for both the content and context the comic.
The one thing that ultimately judges a comic is whether or not it is worth while to read, and this is where there is a little bit of an uncertainty. While the comic does have it's moments it doesn't really feel like it has a whole lot of substance to it. It isn't bad. It's notably better than the currently existent majority of Deadpool 2015, but it doesn't feel that strong.
Verdict:87/100

Are they both in love with Death? I'm not sure if they are fighting each other or teaming up? I felt I was missing a big piece of the puzzle or it did not interest me enough to figure it out. I'm not sure if I'll read more...but I might. I'm weirdly on the fence about this series.

Deadpool is hilarious and it also had good character development.

Started off pretty chill. Not too dramatic. Lacked humour a bit. Not the usual Deadpool laughs.

Awesome comic! The comedy is on point and the adventure is perfect!
