Deadpool The Duck #1

Deadpool The Duck

by Stuart Moore, David Nakayama (Cover Art), Jacopo Camagni (Artist)

What do you get when you take one cynical anthropomorphic duck (named Howard) and cross it with the smelliest (and most annoying) mercenary in the Marvel Universe? DEADPOOL THE DUCK! When Deadpool is sent on a mission from S.H.I.E.L.D. to capture a high-profile E.T. that is rampaging across the high plains, the snatch-and-grab turns out to be much more complicated than the Merc with a Mouth anticipated. One unfortunate wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time accident later leaves Deadpool and Howard fighting for control of the cutest mercenary the Marvel Universe has ever seen! Brought to you with words by Stuart Moore (CLOAK & DAGGER, THANOS: DEATH SENTENCE Novel) and art by Jacopo Camagni (DEADPOOL'S SECRET SECRET WARS).

If you have read one of my handful of comic book reviews before then you will know that I know little about comics. The worlds and the characters just seem intriguing so I have tried to get into comics or graphic novels before watching these superheroes on the big screen. Apart from The Avengers which I think, even my nan has seen. To put this action into fruition I have started visiting my local comic book store once every couple of weeks to pick up a few stories. The lady at the counter recommended this one today and it is probably the most fun I have had whilst reading a comic.

Following on from the awesome comic cover which sold it to me if the recommendation by the attractive store clerk was not enough, this story follows assassin, avenger, mercenary and smelly person Deadpool, and also the elegantly titled Howard the Duck. He was hatched in Duckworld but now is a private detective for hire. If this doesn't sound kooky enough so far - well, Deadpool's inner monologue, what he calls a spirit animal, is Wolverine and they discuss furniture and decor. Also, Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy just seems "off his tits" on some drug or mind trip. The twenty-two pages here fly by. The humour is very tongue in cheek. You can see the two different art styles incorporated by Jacopo Camagni when the two stars of this five episode series are separate yet when they cross paths it is a combination of the two before the ultimate ending where we meet Deadpool the Duck after some chaotic, bizarre, scientific and nonsensical chain of events. This was a quick, immensely enjoyable narrative and I will follow the series going forwards. James x
