Deadpool #16
"Want You to Want Me," Part 2 Deadpool is convinced that, after years of gun-for-hire work, he has found his true calling: He's going to be an X-Man! One problem, though: they don't want him! And can you blame them? Wade's just as likely to fire on his friends as his enemies! But Cyclops is smart enough not to get on Deadpool's bad side. He has a plan to keep Deadpool both close enough to monitor and far enough away so that no one gets hit by the shrapnel. But Deadpool has a plan, too...

I love Deadpool, but have dropped all X-men books. I wouldn't mind if he joined the X-men, as a fringe character. He needs a supporting cast in some way. If he doesn't join it's no lose though.
I didn't like the last issue though, and I have loved every other issue of this series
Posted by Zeppo on 10/05/09 at 03:55 PMThis could have hilarious results.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 10/05/09 at 04:48 PMI do like the title for this arc.
'Want you to Want Me' is just catchy. Then again it is a Cheap Trick song. I don't know if that's what Daniel Way wants people to think when they read this. But the title of the arc makes sense for the story so we'll roll with it.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 10/06/09 at 02:15 AMI think this will be good. Reading the X-Force issues with Future DP made me miss Deadpool interacting with the X-Family.
Posted by JesTr on 10/06/09 at 08:07 AMI think it was in Cable & Deadpool where it was kind of lightly mentioned how Deadpool wanted to be an X-Men, but they always rejected him cause he was too crazy. So im glad theyre bringing this plot point to light. Deadpool was always lightly involved with the X-Family, so its cool to see him up front directly involved with them in this arc.
Posted by comicBOOKchris on 10/06/09 at 06:12 PMIf Wolverine can be in the X-Men then so can Deadpool.
If Emma Frost can be an X-Man, then so can Deadpool.
If Mystique could be trusted enough to at least be an ally at one point, so can Deadpool!
Posted by TheNextChampion on 10/06/09 at 07:08 PMThat cover reminds me of 9th grade art class.
Posted by vadamowens on 10/07/09 at 01:53 PMYes! He might become an X-Man! In your face Ron Richards! :)
Good issue as always, that pancake joke is just as random as the meat suit. Art was a bit rougher then usual for Medina though.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 10/07/09 at 06:58 PMDude. Congrats Way for a few solid issues! Keep it up
Posted by MrPopular on 10/08/09 at 03:06 PMDeadpool is exactly what the X-Men need. I'm not joking at all. Put him in the main book too! The X-Books have become humorless parodies of themselves and only a character as ridiculous as Deadpool can pull them out of that muck.
Really, I'm not joking.
Posted by blulew23 on 10/08/09 at 11:17 PMThis was my pick this week. I really loved this book.
Posted by vadamowens on 10/08/09 at 11:24 PM@blulew23: If the issues are anything from what I read; then I completely agree with you.
It's not the huge fan in my saying this either. I would totally read Uncanny X-Men more if there was more humor and less moody shit going on. So either have Deadpool in the book or I'll call Chris Claremont....it's your call X-fans.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 10/09/09 at 12:25 AMI'm happy to see more people likeing deadpool. I love the Way Deadpool. Dead On!
Posted by twooldridge on 10/09/09 at 05:31 PMThis won't end well.
Posted by theegreatone on 10/12/09 at 12:21 AMI remember when Deadpool was introduced. Man he was so badass, I thought he was going to be what Wolverine is today in comics (not the crazy scizo you see today). I guess what I'm saying is, although I sorta enjoy the meta-ness of *this* Deadpool... I *gulp* actually "like" the Rob Liefeld original Better. Now the line to beat me up starts as soon as I get a plane ticket.
Heheh, something that just caught my eye was page 4 where Dagger says: "But isn't that why we're all here, in utopia? Because no one else wants us?" Boy if she only knew Earth 1218 was full of men (and women) who wouldn't mind her company at all....
XD rereading that last panel just made me LOL for the second time.

Love that cover. Also, are they doing a fist bump there?
I so cannot wait to hear the lamenting X-Men fans seeing what could be the outcome of this arc. Their tears will keep me warm for the winter.
