X-Force #1

X-Force #1

A new volume of X-Force begins here with your basic assemble-a-team tale. After boosting his powers a bit in strange and mysterious ways, which I’m sure will have no unintended side-effects, Forge gathers a new team of X-Force together whose members include Sage, Captain Britain, Askani, Surge, and Tank. Along for the first issue, as a guest-star, just in time for his popular movie tie-in, we also get Deadpool.

Deadpool & Wolverine

While the premise of Deadpool & Wolverine is clear enough, add Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to the MCU, the plot of the film (which features five different writers) feels a bit stitched together haphazardly from various other TV and movie properties without bringing much new to the table. If what you are looking for is a fun summer movie with an excess of blood, sarcasm, in-jokes, and cameos, with yet another odd-couple pairing like we got in the more satisfying Deadpool 2, then Deadpool & Wolverine delivers. Without doubt, it’s fun. However, like previous Deadpool films, Deadpool and Wolverine is more outlier than core franchise tale offering little to build on for the future.

Deadpool #1

Deadpool #1

A new volume of Deadpool begins here with murder, mayhem, and fun. I think Deadpool always works best when he has someone to play off of (other than just his banter to the reader). The new comic finds that character in Deadpool’s symbiote “daughter” Princess who has her father’s taste for bloodshed and murder. The first issue follows the pair around trying to kill their latest target, whose portal ability makes it a bit harder than normal, before teasing us with the introduction of the comic’s first new big bad who is apparently quite interested in the hero’s healing ability.
