Deadpool and Tasky are always a great team-up
Posted by comicBOOKchris on 04/27/09 at 07:28 PMthis has beena amazing. i love deadpool so much...
Posted by rayclark on 04/27/09 at 08:07 PMIs anything actually developing out of this? (That is an honest question) It seems like Marvel just wanted to put two of their hot properties together in a books, so--crossover! I mean, they fight, they fight, they fight and then next story arc... is something else going on here?
Posted by WoodenSpoonVersusShiv on 04/27/09 at 08:41 PMi wish this was finishing in Deadpool, those have been the strongest of the crossover
Posted by mikeandzod21 on 04/27/09 at 09:44 PMI admit I'm only buying this for deadpool. Even though I lke Diggle's other work.
Posted by Cropcirkill on 04/27/09 at 11:23 PM@WoodenSpoonVersusShiv Now this is just speculation, but I think this crossover is just to give Andy Diggle a reason to write Deadpool. He's gone on record saying how he loves the character and would have had him on the team if Marvel didn't have any other plans for him, so I think Marvel is placating him by giving him the chance to at least have some fun with him for a little bit.
Posted by comicBOOKchris on 04/27/09 at 11:56 PM@wooden: Well to be honest I have no idea what the point of this entire crossover was. I mean Wilson is suppose to be trying to get back at Osborn....but that has fallen off the face of the earth for a plot point of a romantic relationship with Black Widow.
Considering what I've seen advance solicts for Deadpool; I got some idea on where this attack on Osborn is gonna go....But I wont spoil for all of the advance solict haters :)
Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/28/09 at 12:23 AM@Wooden. Here is my guess.
Seeing as how the next Deadpool book has Bullseye in it. My Theory is that The Thunderbolts lose to DP. So Norman Decides that he'll send One of his Avengers, Bullseye, to go after the Merc with a Mouth.
Which could be intersting seeing as how Deadpool & Bullseye have a history together.
Posted by MrPopular on 04/28/09 at 10:02 AMMany thanks comicBOOKchris, TheNextChampion, and MrPopular! I appreciate the feedback... I really like both of the books (T-Bolts and Deadpool), but I've been tradewaiting on this arc.
MrPopular, your idea sounds good--I hope they DO lose. I mean, I hope somebody loses; I just don't want a non-conclusion to this match-up!
Posted by WoodenSpoonVersusShiv on 04/28/09 at 01:15 PMThis crossover has been bloody terrible. Seriously. And I'm even a fan of Deadpool.
But having barely begun his run on the title, having Andy Diggle abandon his dark and gritty tone for a new Thunderbolts team, in exchange for this fluff, what a truly Epic Fail. Such a shame.
Posted by theswordisdrawn on 04/29/09 at 09:30 AMAgreed. Haven't read my copy yet but I definitely feel that this crossover ruined the tone on Thunderbolts.
Posted by ScorpionMasada on 04/29/09 at 11:54 PMWas enjoying the book until this crossover. I'm not buying Deadpool, not planning to, and I have no idea what's going on in the parts I missed. Have dropped the book until things go back to normal. I'll probably be back when Songbird returns.
Posted by ameliadaz on 04/30/09 at 01:50 AMWow, did, the artist even know deadpool?? in a panel DP's mask get's sliced on the top of his head, and they show hair coming out... since when did DP get hair?
Posted by MrPopular on 04/30/09 at 10:10 AM@MrPopular I think some of the earlier artists give him small clumps of hair at times. Though not as much as Dazo gave him, I was a little perplexed when I first saw that too. I'm just guessing its a big patch of random hair.
Posted by comicBOOKchris on 04/30/09 at 12:16 PMThis was kinda lame but funny at times. A couple chuckles. But if this comic don't start kicking butt next issue...gonna have to drop this like a deuce on a Saturday morning.
Posted by cromulent on 04/30/09 at 01:32 PMI actually liked this issue. It was perfect, or very good, or average, or terrible.
It's a 3 for me on the rating. There was some good jokes in here and I do like Bong Dazo as an artist. It wasnt the best crossover but at least we got this storyline done and Way is still writing Deadpool
Posted by TheNextChampion on 05/02/09 at 01:39 PMEDIT: Ment to say 'wasnt perfect'
Posted by TheNextChampion on 05/02/09 at 01:39 PMI enjoyed the crossover, but definitely wanted to see Diggle keep up the gritty action he was establishing with T-Bolts. Perhaps that can happen now.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 05/02/09 at 03:21 PMI would say this comic took about 20 minutes to write, tops. It was pure ass-water.
Posted by WadeWilson on 05/04/09 at 05:32 AMI would like to say I've enjoyed Diggle so far on this title, but I haven't. Consider yourself dropped.

This crossover has been good....not great....at the end of the day I dont see what the point of this was.
But then again that describes Deadpool as a whole :)
