Deadpool, Vol. 2: Good Night
Skottie Young takes Deadpool to new heights of madness! First, Wade Wilson gets his most difficult mission yet: take out Santa Claus! But jolly old St. Nick ain't so jolly no more. He's downright deadly! Then, Deadpool finds himself in the middle of a twisted rivalry between two competing amusement parks. But it's not all fun and games — it's a carnival of carnage! Buy the ticket, take the ride! But when someone steals Wade's heart — literally — the Merc with the Mouth must hire the MU's best private eye, Jessica Jones! You'll never guess where this twisted trail leads! Plus: Say hello to Good Night! He's been taking care of Deadpool's merc jobs before DP can get to them. But Wade's got a plan to stop him, and he's definitely thought it through. For sure. No question.

More average fare from the 2018 Deadpool creative team. Writer Skottie Young fails to move Deadpool from this muddling middling monotonous ground; this could have been so much better. Anyhows- Three one-off averagely comedic tales are followed the main event 'Good Night' where things seem to be going against Deadpool and it appears that someone from his past is out for revenge. There are some cool old faces, including a nice team up. Could be better. Could be funnier. 6.5 out of 12, Three Star read.

"If he kills you, I'll still be right here to shoot him, so I'll totally avenge your death or whatever"
Young is back with slightly better stories this time. Perhaps I feel slightly overloaded with Deadpool having just read the previous instalment, but I am starting to feel that Deadpool's personality alone is no longer enough to carry a narrative. Fortunately, unlike with the first volume, most of these stories are somewhat memorable and well done. Whilst it still isn't the world's best storytelling or the most original ideas, there's a lot of fun to be had. The Good Night storyline earns particular praise as it seems to be the most thought out of the bunch with an attempt at emotional weight. Good for a quick read, especially if you're a fan of the character.

Another day, another set of jobs. This volume sees Deadpool hired to kill Santa Claus and a pig who uses a theme park as a drug operation, go on a journey to find his missing heart, and take on the mysterious Good Night who keeps stealing his kills

That's more like it.
This volume is a tale of two halves. The first three issues are some more one-and-done issues in the same vein as volume one. These are pretty fun, if a bit wrote at this point. The Christmas issue is a bit too over the top, even for Deadpool, but the thinly veiled Disney pastiche is funny, and even manages to reintroduce Deadpool's daughter for a moment. The real gem of this half of the volume is issue 9 however, which is a film noir pastiche that ropes Jessica Jones into Wade's world as they attempt to find his disembodied heart. This is probably the most Deadpool this run has ever felt, and Nic Klein's art in this issue is especially good, really giving the noir atmosphere.
Then we get the titular Good Night story, which finally seems to show that Skottie Young is plotting something bigger than we thought. Good Night himself isn't that interesting, but his ties to Deadpool and the rest of his supporting cast show that there's some potential on the horizon. There's not a lot to be mined from Batman piss-takes at this point, but I definitely want to know what's going on now, so I'd call this one a win overall. Scott Hepburn returns for these three issues and fits Wade's world perfectly - his boneless Deadpool suit flapping in the wind is equal parts disturbing and genius.
Deadpool's a hard one to get a gauge on recently, but this volume seems to be a turning point. Let's see if Skottie can pull off the big finale next time around.

Continue to surprise myself with how enjoyable these books are. Me, who normally doesn’t really go for superhero comics. Then again, this gabby Merc is about as nonconventional as superheroes get. Not even all that heroic, just superpowered. Selling skills to anyone who can afford them. Any age, any species.
Volume two collects three standalone tales: a charming holiday ditty, a noir tale featuring Jessica Jones (and tangentially Daredevil), an amusement park rivalry setup; and then a three story arc featuring a villain named Good Night (with a Dark Knight rip-off of an origin story) who has a Jupiter size grudge against the hired gun never found a wrong moment to tell a joke.
All in all, lots of fun, Especially the first three. Well drawn too. Recommended.

It was cool.. I liked it.. most of the time.
Artwork is great, coloring is awesome. Story is fun at times!
Sometimes it feels forced, like having Negasonic over there, is meh... but the fun park with Silly Seal and whatnot was fun! Also the Good Night story is great too!

Natürlich konnte ich mir den 2. Band von der roten Quasselstrippe nicht entgehen lassen. Schon das Cover versprach ein unterhaltsames Abenteuer, denn hier war Deadpool einfach mal das Cape von Good Night. Wie ihr kennt Good Night nicht? Keine Sorge, ich vorher auch nicht. Aber das machen Comics und ihre Welten eben aus. Man lernt immer etwas Neues kennen.
Dieser Band enthielt 6 Geschichten, welche noch einmal mehr offenbarten, welche Kräfte Deadpool eigentlich besitzt. Neben dem Nerven, waren dies vor allem seine Heilungskräfte, die er diesmal auch sowas von nötig hatte. Wie schon beschrieben war er auf dem Cover ein Cape und auf der Rückseite fehlte ihm schließlich sein Herz, was man natürlich auch sehr herzlich präsentieren musste. Ja, mit Blut, Organen und allem, was weh tut, sparte man hier auf keinem Fall.
Trotzdem gab es neben der vielen Spannung, auch wieder einiges zu lachen. Viele Sprüche, egal ob von Deadpool oder anderen Charakteren, trieben mir die Tränen in die Augen, weil ich einfach so heftig lachen musste. Dieser trockene, aus dem Stegreif-gezogene Humor war einfach genau meins und verlor bis zum Ende nicht seine Wirkung.
Auch optisch wurde mir natürlich einiges geboten. Da die Geschichten unterschiedlicher nicht hätten sein können, hatte ich auch die Möglichkeit verschiedene Orte zu erleben. Diese waren wieder herrlich in Szene gesetzt und natürlich schön farbenfroh. Dies galt jedoch auch für Deadpool und seine Opfer, welche in knalligen Farben niedergemetzelt wurden. Aber was hatte ich auch anderes erwartet? Ehrlich gesagt nichts. Denn dies war ein Band, der Deadpool und seine schräge Welt einfach perfekt darstellte. Ich bin begeistert und freue mich jetzt schon auf den nächsten Sammelband.
Der Söldner mit der großen Klappe, konnte mich mit seinen Erlebnissen wieder einmal fesseln, unterhalten und natürlich auch schocken. Denn selbst Deadpool ohne Herz ist schließlich schon ne Sache für sich. Trotzdem, nehmt den Comic nicht zu ernst, denn wer Deadpool kennt, der weiß, der tut nichts, der will nur spielen. Ok und seine Rechnungen bezahlen.

Ah Deadpool... I've missed reading these comics. Always great for a laugh.
This Volume has some great individual issues, but there is an overarching story that carries into the next Volume. Highlights:
- Santa doesn't deliver presents so kids hire Deadpool to kill Santa. True culprit? Tinsel the elf lead an uprising to take elves to work for Roxxon. Wade takes care of it, then plays Santa while the old man gets his health back.
- Silly Seal hires Deadpool to kill Zaggy Pig, brother of Ziggy Pig, who is using Ziggy's theme park to run drugs. This story is hilarious, but also somewhat sad as Ellie (Deadpool's daughter who he doesn't remember) plays a role in the tale.
- When someone steals Deadpool's heart right out of his chest, Wade hires Jessica Jones to help him find it. Culprit? Weasel, who apparently wants to make Wade's life a living hell.
- Someone keeps stealing Deadpool's jobs. New vigilante Good Night has a grudge against Wade... and is the perfect brute to be controlled by Weasel.
Can't wait till the next Volume! Why is Mephisto involved??
What can I say... Deadpool is usually always a good comic to read. Recommend.

The start of this was very interesting with the Skinny Santa in pee-stained underwear....then the new villain named Good Night. I was hoping for a better story from Young, but it is what it is.

January 7, 2025
Young wydaje się być odpowiednią osobą na odpowiednim miejscu (a słyszałem inaczej) i choć jego Deadpool jest bardziej nastawiony na akcję, tak kilka humorystycznych sytuacji się tu pojawi.
Najpierw przyjrzymy się nietypowemu zleceniu, jakie przyjmie Wade, bo zadanie zabicie Mikołaja(sic!) zleci mu grupka dzieci (sic!!), ale na miejscu prawda okaże się zgoła inna i zlecenie się nieco rozwinie w formę walki z wyzyskiem klasy pracującej. Jeszcze dziwnie będzie później, bo spotkamy postacie, które jak żywo mógłby wytworzyć Disney w okresie swojego powstania.
Bo nie ma to jak handel bronią przez postacie wyciągnięte rodem z kreskówki. Tylko te z radosnym uśmiechem wsadzą ci nóż w plecy. Niepokojące, ale i na swój sposób świeże. Zwłaszcza, że pojawia się tu ktoś bliski Wade'owi (a on nawet o tym nie wie). To nie koniec atrakcji, bowiem przyjdzie mu jeszcze szukać swojego skradzionego serca i zaangażuje w to Jessicę Jones.
Na koniec pojawi się nowy przeciwnik, tytułowy Dobranoc. Pamiętacie jak ostatnio w serii zrobiono sobie żarty z 'powstania' Batmana, tylko że w wersji Marvela? Ma to swoją kontynuację tutaj i wydaje się, że będzie miało dużo większą wagę niżeli można było z tego wywnioskować. Trzy zeszyty poświęcone postaci pełne są walki i ekspozycji, która nakreśla nadchodzący konflikt, jaki zakończy tą serię w kolejnym tomie.
Nieco mnie to zaskakuje, bo dwa pierwsze tomy są naprawdę solidne i mogło być dużo gorzej. Nie wiem, czy to nie kwestia sporych oczekiwać od nazwiska. Że miało być śmieszniej, a nie bardziej nastawiono na akcję. Tym bardziej, że historie tu ukazane żenujące nie były.

Skittle Young brings his manic writing skills to the Good Night volume of Deadpool. The opening three stories are stand alone tales, each one hitting nostalgic notes. The first sees Wade Wilson hired to track down Santa for not delivering presents - only to find a slave-driving elf had instead monopolized the North Pole work force. The second has classic character Silly Seal trying to get even with the drug-running Zaggy Pig and rescue his theme park. Finally, Deadpool must hire Jessica Jones to help him locate his heart - which was literally turn out of his chest. The remainder of the volume focuses on new character Good Night. This pastiche of Batman has made it his mission to get revenge on the Merc with a Mouth for killing his parents as a young boy. Turned into the ultimate fighter, Good Night nearly kills Deadpool. However, he is revealed to be but a pawn in a larger scheme designed to rip DP’s world apart. This volume is a mixture of stories and styles that make for a roller coaster of a read. The dark and moody Santa tale and Zaggy Pig fight would have held up better under Skottie Young’s pencils instead of Nic Klein’s more realistic designs. Young and Klein do their best collaboration in the noir story of heart thievery, but it still feels like Young should be handling both art and story chores himself. The more animated art from Scott Hepburn feels more in line with Young during the Good Night arc, but does not quite hit the author’s signature lunacy. Deadpool: Good Night fails to live up to the premise of sweet dreams for fans of the Marvel character.

El primer volumen, después del run de Duggan que duró casi 100 números, no me había encantado. Este segundo tomo me sorprendió gratamente, me entretuvo, me hizo reír, tuvo sus momentos oscuros, y da pistas sobre una historia más profunda. Todo lo que me gustaba del run de Duggan pero mejorado, me pareció.
Los 3 primeros números del run eran historias sueltas y las tres me gustaron mucho. Desde asesinar hasta Santa Claus contratado por unos niños, a asesinar a la mascota de un parque de diversiones (que aunque creo que esta era la más débil de las tres, el retorno de un personaje importante del run de Duggan le cambia el tono completamente a la historia) y buscar su corazón secuestrado, literalmente, acompañado por Jessica Jones y Daredevil. Interesante. Estas historias cortas son creativas y graciosas. El arte es bastante bueno.
Los otros tres números vemos a Deadpool enfrentándose a Buenas Noches, un misterioso oponente que le roba los trabajos a Deadpool. El primero de los tres números no me impresionó mucho pero algunas de sus bromas me hicieron reír. El segundo número nos muestra la historia de origen de Buenas Noches y es muy pero muy gracioso y aunque la parodia de un conocido héroe es evidente, tiene giros graciosos que lo hacen un personaje curioso del que no me molestaría seguir leyendo. El tercer número es el enfrentamiento "épico" entre los dos personajes y tiene un giro al final que da más pistas sobre la historia que Young nos quiere contar con el personaje.
En general, parece interesante lo que Young propone con su run y sin duda seguiré leyendo.

So the thing Young was building to was a fight with Frank Miller Mueller? and I guess the reveal of who is controlling him. I still do not really get the point. The send up of Frank Miller is mostly only there in art style not writing, aside from the hard push of some Batman references. I can kind of see that Young thought this was a good way to tie some of the threads from the previous 9 issues together, but to what end? He missed the moralizing point of Miller's style even though he had set up some of the building blocks for it.
Before the Miller stuff, I was convinced Young hated Deadpool and was auditioning himself for 9 other books since every issue was a pointless crossover with a different hero (is santa a hero? when does his book come out?).
I guess the Miller stuff was okay enough to say you could read this if you have nothing better to do, and you do not care if there is any real payoff. The only thing I am sticking around to see is how the eventual daughter/amnesia storyline resolves.

Wade saves Cristmas! Yay! All he has to do is fight Santa and kill his head elf. Christmas is merry again!
Silly Seal World has an issue with Zaggy the drug-running pig. The mission fails because Deadpool's daughter - whom he can't remember anything about - botches it. She doesn't want him to be an assassin.
Valentine's Day has Deadpool's heart stolen. Literally. Jessica Jones helps him recover it. This one-shot is the funniest, but that isn't saying much.
A vigilante who calls himself Good Night is stealing Wade's jobs. Wade sets up a trap for him, but it backfires. Good Night was the kid whose parents Wade killed right in front of him. So he's Batman, but on steroids. He doesn't shy away from killing or removing Wade's skeleton from his body.

Enjoyed this title very much and def like Skottie Youngs Deadpool run
Don't know why people hate on the Skottie Young runs of Deadpool. I know some people like Duggans more but I definitely think they are both very good. I like his use of Megasonic Teenage Warhead and that he points out stuff like her under utilization in Deadpool 2 the movie, or the Duggan thing. Like the art, like the stories so far and yes they are out there but that's Deadpool. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is serious when it comes to violence and when it needs to be. Overall good story, very good drawing and color and inking. Really enjoyed the dialogue with himself and others and us so I can't wait to start volume 3 of this run.

This second volume of the Skottie Young run on Deadpool continues to play on the whole supernatural angle in things, which is an interesting turn for Deadpool. Sure the odd issue or two included in this volume acts as standalone adventures such as Deadpool being hired to take out Santa Claus or the noir-style team-up with Jessica Jones as the look for Deadpool's missing heart.
The major arc ties to the unusual Batman-style anti-hero that is Good Might who was created due to Mephisto's influence for various reasons. It's all to pit Good Night against Deadpool, which feels a little out of place for the character but I can generally go with it given the inertia of the whole series.

The second volume picks up & truly makes up for what the first volume of the 2018 Skottie Young run struggled to do. The writing style has improved as the author has gotten more comfortable with the character(?) & The cliff hanger at the end of this volume isn't so off the wall (for a comic book) that it makes things seem unbelievable or uninteresting. I do plan on finishing the last few issues/volume. All in all this is a solid 4 stars. It's enjoyable for what it is.

More wackiness and violence from Deadpool as he battles Santa Claus, a beloved children's character and theme park mascot, and a new merc on the scene who's stealing all DP's jobs and wants revenge, plus he teams up with Jessica Jones to find the person whole stole his heart (literally, it was ripped from his chest and might be used for nefarious purposes). The art was also enjoyable in all the stories.
May 13, 2025
This was really fun. Skottie Young is finding his groove as Deadpool's past comes back to haunt him in multiple ways. The book has some stand alone issues that were all funny and then a very entertaining tale about revenge. Young's humor is spot on and doesn't try too hard and the callback to earlier stories is great. Again, Klein and Hepburn's art fit nicely especially the final arc. Overall, exactly what you want from a Deadpool book.
August 30, 2019
At one point Deadpool breaks the fourth wall to give a commentary on Young's vs Duggan's run, sadly I agreed.
3.5 with this getting better as Young moves forward.
I liked seeing Jessica Jones and Deadpools interactions.
And Young is pulling in all the hits so I I have hope this may turn out to be a strong run.

Probably the best Deadpool collection I've read so far.

Issue 8 is a gut punch, the kind where you just angrily stare at the author's name and quietly thing 'I hate you'. That's how you know it's good.

It was an okay graphic novel.

Not my favourite one...though I did like Jessica Jones
January 21, 2020
Love this series. Good villian in Good Night. Also, the one where he kept loosing his heart was hilarious.

Basically a clip show. Of clips you haven't seen before. Or really want to. They were fun I guess. Last issue in the trade was the only over-arching plot issue. It was good. Violent, and good.
