This volume collects Deadpool #13 and the Deadpool: Last Days of Magic one-shot. Just two issues? What a con! Not really; DP#13 is an 86 page long giant-sized issue, so it's not as bad as it sounds.
The stories collected here are quite funny and made a nice change from the Deadpool-angst type stories we had in the previous volume. The artwork was just OK, though, and the constant switching of creative teams every twenty pages or so makes this a somewhat choppy read.

Bleh.
I get that Deadpool is a money-making character for Marvel, but some of the gimmicks he manages to attract to his ongoing series really irk me in terms of trade collection.
This volume collects issue #13 of Deadpool, which is actually 4 issues in one as Deadpool crosses over with Daredevil and Power Man & Iron Fist in a cross-city caper that isn't particularly funny at all, and has some really janky dialogue in the latter half. I love that they're addressing Typhoid Mary's relationship with Deadpool, but it shouldn't be bogged down in this poor story that does nothing for any of the series involved. It's basically a waste of space.
The Last Days of Magic issue is a hell of a lot better; you could call it another stupid gimmick, but considering the fact that most of Deadpool's supporting cast are magical, having them deal with the fallout of Doctor Strange's battle with the Empirikul over in his own title makes sense. The story is solid, and is the perfect mix of zany and heartbreaking that is what Deadpool does best, and this issue also has some impact on the main ongoing Deadpool series too.
Skip this one and just get the Last Days of Magic one-shot; save your money.

It's either good, bad or crap when it comes to Deadpool, and the lame jokes in this stunk pretty bad.
September 3, 2021
Ha-ha, Deadpool memory bad, funny shenanigans and Avengers jokes and ain't Deadpool so funny?
No, really, he's supposed to be funny, right? Some of the jokes landed, but most didn't. Good art by a number of different artists; Luke Cage and Danny's hatred for Deadpool got to me. Daredevil also made an appearance, but not a very memorable one.
Trite premise, no stakes whatsoever.

An investment banker loses a lot of money for criminal empires. He goes to Deadpool (for some reason) for protection. Queue the zany Deadpool antics! From there they go to Matt Murdock for official assistance, then enlist Power man and Iron Fist for protection/laptop retrieval from a garbage dump. That literally is the entire plot of the book.
This seemed like an excuse to have an 80 page comic. I mean, Matt Murdock seems to be the likeliest to appear in it, but even then after the first issue, he hardly appears. Power Man and Iron fist show up for one issue, and really... they didn't even need to be there. They were basically there just to talk crap about Deadpool. Which in all honesty, you could have had anyone else do.
If anything, I thought the second story dealing with the Last Days of Magic story line told in Doctor Strange, was a lot better. It ends on a down beat, which when done correctly in a Deadpool book, works really well juxtaposed against his usual silliness. And this was no exception. This story made me give this book an extra star alone.
I would say this is for completionists only. If you are a fan of Deadpool, then check this out, you may appreciate it more than most.

While not great, still pretty good. It's a good set of team ups with a good amount of humor. Depending on the issue, good to "ehhh" artwork.

This Volume collects Deadpool #13, a four-in-one crossover story, and Deadpool: Last Days of Magic.
The crossover is superb. Deadpool takes on a wall street client who has been dealing with villains who aren't happy with him. One of those villains is Typhoid Mary who Deadpool has a whole lot of history with. To help, Deadpool gets Matt Murdock, and therefore Daredevil, and Heroes for Hire Power Man and Iron Fist.
What works well here is that the books own writers do their 'issue'. Deadpool's Duggan obviously oversaw it and wrote the first and final issues. Soule and Walker do the Daredevil and Power Man & Iron Fist issues respectively. This means that the characters feel genuine to their current status quo. It also means we get someone else writing the main Deadpool series and although Duggan is great it's interesting to see other writers take him on. Walker nails the comedy but Soule nails all of it and gives us the best section of the volume. After this and Soule's take on Deadpool in the last Thunderbolts line I would love to see him lead the Deadpool book one day.
The Last Days of Magic one-shot is loose tie-in to the Doctor Strange storyline of the same name (Strange doesn't appear though). It sees Deadpool team up with his various magical friends that threaten Shiklah's (Mrs Deadpool) Monster Monstropolis. It's a great story and we get to see some characters introduced in the Dead Presidents arc. It's fun, has some massive battles and a really sad ending. All in all, another good story.
Two unusual stories which both turn out to be really rather good. It's a fairly slim volume but I really loved it.

Čtenářská výzva na Goodreads 2018 (2/205)
Deadpoola od Gerryho Duggana z "All-New, All-Different Marvelu" mám rád a i teď mě baví číst. První kniha byla výborná, takže jsem byl zvědavý na kvalitu dalších dílů. Další dva sice byly o něco horší, ale stále to byly zábavné nadprůměrné akční komiksy. Pak tady však máme čtvrtou knihu, o které absolutně nevím, co si mám myslet. Na jednu stranu tady sice máme skvělý sešit "Deadpool: Last Days of Magic", který překonal má očekávání (ze scénáristického hlediska to bylo lepší, než jsem čekal a Scott Koblish konečně dostal pořádný prostor k vykreslení, takže na mnoha stránkách najdete výborně nakreslené panely).
Jenže co ten speciál s čtyřnásobným počtem stránek, ve kterém Deadpool spojí síly s Daredevilem, Iron Fistem a Power Manem? Duggan to sice zvládá spolu se Soulem a Walkerem nějakým způsobem ukočírovat, jenže celkově mi to přišlo hodně podivné. Navíc, příběh sám o sobě není nijak zajímavý. Když bych vám prozradil, co Deadpool po celou dobu děje řeší, tak byste si možná klepali na čelo. Mimochodem, humorně je na tom kniha nejhůř z toho všeho, co v rámci Deadpoola od Duggana vyšlo během "All-New, All-Different Marvelu". Za čtení mi přišly zajímavé pouze 3 vtipy, což je šeredně málo (naštěstí však stály za to).
Mezi pozitiva určitě řadím kresbu, na které se vystřídali dohromady čtyři různí kreslíři, jejichž styly jsou samy o sobě zajímavé. Dále stojí za zmínku finální bitva, což bylo na poměry superhrdinských komiksů něco neobvyklého, protože ne každý člověk bojuje na tom, na čem bojovali Wade s ostatními hrdiny. Samozřejmě, náš antihrdina zůstává stále stejný, takže očekávejte nejenom šílené akční scény, ale taktéž dialogy, které jsou správně šílené :-).
Celkově si tedy myslím, že se jedná o dosavadně nejslabší Deadpool z toho, co aktuálně vychází v rámci čtvrté řady série Deadpool. Není to špatné, jenomže tady mi už začíná připadat, že od první knížky šla kvalita solidně dolů. V podstatě se tedy jedná o lepší průměr.
3/5 (55%)

La serie de Deadpool de ANAD se ha identificado por tener muchos números especiales con una longitud superior a un cómic normal. Lamentablemente eso hace que algunos de los volúmenes (por ejemplo el segundo o este volumen) tengan menos números de lo normal, la misma cantidad de páginas, pero la historia prácticamente no avanza. En este caso, tenemos solo dos números, el primero es el equivalente al número 13 de la historia y como un especial de antaño, está formado por 4 números en uno: dos de deadpool, uno de daredevil y uno de power man and iron fist. Estos cuatro números forman una historia autocontenida llamada suciedad temporal. Si bien, la historia es entretenida y graciosa; la mayoría de sus bromas son tontas y no abordan ningún suceso de la trama que Duggan ha estado construyendo.
Es divertido ver a deadpool interactuar con daredevil, cage y iron fist, pero no alcanza para que me emocione de más por este volumen. La trama de suciedad temporal gira en torno a estos héroes buscando una laptop de un corredor de bolsa que manejaba el dinero de una organización criminal muy fuerte. Eso es prácticamente todo lo que sucede.
El segundo número, en cambio, aborda sucesos no sólo de la historia de Deadpool en ANAD sino de la serie anterior también escrita por Duggan. Vemos a Michael el necromancer nuevamente, mientras pelean a lado de Shiklah para proteger el inframundo de los empirikull, la amenaza come magia que Dr. Strange ha estado combatiendo en su serie de ANAD. Este número se me hizo bastante bueno, con algunas bromas, buena acción y un final muy emotivo. Recordándonos que la historia de Duggan está planeada para largo y que en su ADN es una historia oscura. Duggan logra cambiar las risas del final por un nudo en la garganta y un poco de empatía por Deadpool y lo que representa. Como tie in de "Los últimos días de la magia" es bastante sólido y mueve la trama hacia adelante.
En general creo que este volumen se podría saltar ya que no aporta gran cosa a la trama.

**Caveat**: I have not read the first three volumes of Gerry Duggan's "World's Greatest" series of Deadpool but I have read his previous run.
This is a volume purely for the continuity hungry. Lots of references to past Deadpool stories but not a lot of fun to go with those references. There's also some tonal whiplash that sometimes occurs when there are different creative teams working together on what is supposed to be one continuous story.
I'm not sure I ever really needed a Deadpool story about Wall-Street problems, nor an acknowledgement that his previous story with Typhoid Mary was technically sexual assault. Is it accurate? Yes. Is it potentially interesting to explore a mentally-ill male character assaulted by a mentally-ill female character? Maybe? Do I want it written by Gerry Duggan as the B-story to a Wall-Street bad investment tale? Definitely not.
This isn't by a longshot the worst Deadpool story but it's pretty disappointing compared to Duggan's first run.

A not-so-scrupulous accountant has crossed too many players of Manhattan's underbelly. Seeking protection and sanctuary, the money-man (and his laptop full of incriminating evidence) goes straight to the top for help- DEADPOOL! But these crooks aren't willing to blink and they've brought in a heavy hitter to take in the turncoat accountant- Typhoid Mary!! Enter the wildest team-up and the first (and probably only) single issue multi-issue crossover in comics history.
Guest-starring Daredevil, Power-Man, Iron Fist and most of the sanitation crew at Fresh Kills landfill!
Then things get supernatural when a horde of inter-dimensional beings invades Deadpool's wife Shiklah's subterranean kingdom. This Last Days of Magic tie-in will shock long-time Deadpool fans and looks to change the game for the Merc With A Mouth for some time to come.
The first storyline was classic Deadpool! It's crazy funny and a shining moment in a era of Marvel that's been sub-par at best. But why does Gerry Duggan, along with writers Charles Soule and David Walker insist on making Wade Wilson such a tragic character!? He's much better when he's funny and surreal than a homicidal version of Charlie Brown. That's why I buy the book- fun and games not going down in flames...

Silly and entertaining as usual, but I would have loved it if Deadpool had involved the entire Defenders team. I can only imagine how far Jessica Jones would throw him, after copious eye rolling, of course!
The Doctor Strange crossover was also fun but disjointed and it would’ve been nice to see the Empirikul have a bit of a stronger reaction to Deadpool, who seems like he should’ve shocked them with his healing, never-ending supply of bullets, and swords, rather than magic slinging and spells...

Deadpool teaming-up with any established heroes is always fun. Doing so with guys he has a funny history with (Luke Cage, Iron Fist, & Daredevil) makes it even better. I liked this book as I thought all the writers involved brought the funny but I feel like the book doesn't take into account of Deadpool's recent character driven arcs. It also doesn't fit in well with the Last Days Of Magic one-shot (somber tale) that was thrown in at the end. Editorially, it wasn't the best collection. Overall, a nice team-up book that might have been mis-timed.

A four-part crossover originally published in a single oversized issue (!). Deadpool gets a job from a mob money launderer to protect him from the mob. Guest starring Daredevil, Power Man and Iron Fist, and Typhoid Mary. And then a Last Days of Magic crossover where the Empirikul come after Shiklah's monster underground.
This was entertaining. Getting the writers from Daredevil and Power Man and Iron Fist was a good idea.

Funny, compelling and nicely illustrated. I really did feel for the characters in both stories. Very little to complain about. I do think that the "I hate him" joke was overused in the Volume 5 story and the art work wasn't quite as spectacularly coloured as Deadpool: Dead Presidents, which I had re-read prior to starting this one. However, that's a very high bar to reach. I'm surprised that this book didn't have a more favourable average rating, because I thought it was great.

That ending.. *sniff*
But this one was a bit lighter and also a bit more mental than Deadpool: World's Greatest, Volume 3: Deadpool vs. Sabretooth.

Hmm I'm not sure that's right word to use. Also he was just as weird in the other volume. This volume was different though. And in my opinion a bit better.

Even with mixed writers and artists (which often doesn't work for me) this is the best volume in this particular run of Deadpool to date. It's not perfect, and I've certainly got some complaints - but it's fun, it's funny, and it seems to show that this series is finally finding what it wants to be.

Again, this Deadpool comic gave me a nice mindless read. The crossovers with Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist were greatly amusing. I didn't like the final comic. I really don't care for the dark paranormal stuff, and I'm not a fan of the Deadpool story arcs that go that way. Unfortunately, several seem to do that. But, still, the first four issues were fun.
May 21, 2017
I really enjoy Deadpool and I think this may have been my favorite. His rhetoric with Daredevil makes the book. The last story ends on a sad note but something tells me it's not over.

2.5 really

I really don't understand how Duggan can make Deadpool a laugh-out loud hilarious character one second, and the most tragic figure the next. It's amazing, and this series continues to amaze me.

The first story arc was great, funny and cool art. The second was such a small slice of the larger story that even though it was good it left you kind of lost.
