Rob Liefeld is an American comic book writer, illustrator, and publisher. A prominent artist in the 1990s, he has since become a controversial figure in the medium.
In the early 1990s, self-taught artist Liefeld became prominent due to his work on Marvel Comics' The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other popular Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which rode the wave of comic books owned by their creators rather than by publishers. The first book published by Image Comics was Rob Liefeld's Youngblood #1.
Amazon had a sale on graphic comics, and they had "Deadpool, the Adamantium Collection" as part of it. List price $200, usually on sale for $150, during this sale.....$5.
So I'm a sucker for a deal. I bit, just finished it, and it was fun. It showcases what people like about Deadpool, the humor, borderline insanity and violence, and the crazy plot lines. Of course, those are the same reasons why people DON'T like Deadpool.
It is over the top at times, but never boring. You get to see how he was made (literally) and what makes him tick. Apparently never serious as Deadpool, the man that is Wade Wilson is chasing his own personal demons, much as we all are, to a lesser extent (I hope...). Interesting.
I also illustrates something I find true....people mistake humorists as being flights, never serious, when they are very serious people, who use humor to cope.
So buy this, just not for $150. I mean, you'd have to be crazy......
This was the first comic book I ever bought and I was not disappointed at all. If you're a Deadpool fan this is a must and definitely a great deal for the number of comics that you get. If I had the time I probably would have finished it in one sitting.
