Deadpool #3 is a weird comic. Deadpool awakes in the apartment of Valentine Vuong who apparently is sweet on both Deadpool and the little Carnage symbiote feeding on him. Red flags, anyone? She’s found a way to keep it under control and the pair go on a date. To the zoo. And the symbiote emerges to play matchmaker. Um, okay?

A new volume of Deadpool starts here with a pair of storylines. The first, involving Deadpool being contracted by an illusive assassin guild known as the Atelier to kill Doc Ock, gets pushed into the background pretty quickly (but likely will prove the longer thread for the comic). The second, which takes up most of the issue, involves Deadpool being kidnapped by the Harrower in an attempt to grow a new Carnage inside Deadpool’s body whose healing properties provide an unique setting for her experiment.

Another issue collects three more Deadpool tales in black and white, and, of course, blood (also, oddly, cherry Kool-Aid). The creators of the popular manga Deadpool Samuari offer a story in “Samurai Version” in which Deadpool squares off with the Dipsoser (who turns out to be as disposable as his character name suggests).
In the weirdest story, Doop gets some payback on Deadpool’s various pranks in “Operation Payback!” by sending Deadpool on an odd space adventure.
The best story turns out to be “Cherry,” in which Deadpool accepts a job to deal with creature loose in the one of A.I.M.‘s evil laboratories on a volcano. The monster? A cross between the Kool-Aid Man and a dinosaur which turns out to be far more articulate than you’d expect. Dammit, Karl!

Following in the footsteps of Batman, and other heroes who have gotten their own black-and-white anthology series, Deadpool gets three tales in Deadpool: Black, White, & Blood #1 which feature the wisecracking hero’s wacky adventures in three colors. In “Red All Over,” Deadpool calls Honey Badger for help in wrangling a zombie zebra (or as Wade names it a zombiebra) and have a heart-to-heart with the CEO of the company creating undead killing machines.
“Hotline to Heaven” involves Deadpool’s overreaction when discovering he can’t stream an old Bea Arthur movie and his quest to find a copy of the film. Deadpool is invited to check out Omega Red‘s new home in “Born in the USZORSUSR” only to see Ursa Major show up in an attempt to take over Omega Red’s “utopia” in the Canadian wilderness. Poor Canada.
