Deadpool
#39 Recap/Review: A friend indeed...
The
White Skull, Wanda, and Doctor Doom stand together, ready to unleash another
inversion spell on all those previously affected. The White Skull hopes those who must be
corrupted again can forgive themselves and those casting the spell. Doom then declares it is done.
Deadpool’s
head sits in a pool of blood, where it is retrieved by a now restored
Evan. Evan takes Deadpool to his body
and reattaches it to his head, while the two friends regretfully consider their
actions while inverted.
The
police arrive, but the two are able to escape to the City of Monsters, which is
ruled over by Deadpool’s wife – a demonic woman named Shiklah. She is outraged at the presence of
Apocalypse, citing an old feud between the villain, Dracula, and various
monsters Apocalypse has fought over the centuries, though she is glad that her
husband is at least back to normal.

Shiklah’s
mage has also managed to successfully use Deadpool’s organs to synthesise a
cure for some friends of Deadpool who were experimented on with the North
Korean government. With a new cure,
Deadpool’s friends are happy to stay in the city of monsters, where they feel
at home.
Deadpool
takes Evan to the Morlock tunnels. Not
welcome anywhere, Deadpool takes Evan to his own home, where he is welcome to
stay and have a home of his own. In
spite of all this, Deadpool still isn’t happy.
Imbalance has been restored to Deadpool’s life, and it seems that
happiness is destined to always elude him.

Hello
and welcome to Comic Island! My name is
Arden, and this is my recap, and review of Deadpool #39.
So,
let’s talk a bit about Deadpool. This is
a fun character who I have always liked, but I do feel is started to be overly
relied on by Marvel. After all the tie
ins, mini series, and full blown video game, I am getting a little sick of this
character.
It’s
comics like these AXIS tie-ins that help remind me why I do like this character
in the first place. He’s not just good
for some one-liners, but has a lot of depth to his suffering and how he relates
to others. This comics ending really
reminded me of that, as it has almost a tragic feel to it. Deadpool was so close to inner peace, only
for it to be snatched away. It was a sad
moment in an otherwise fun tie-in, and one that kind of hit home for me.
So
I did enjoy this comic, and it felt like a nice way to cover the fallout of the
AXIS event. Deadpool played an important
part in saving the world, and what he got in return was no recognition whatsoever
coupled with a strong sense of loss. For
an ending to a tie-in like this, I do feel it was quite strong and wrapped up
all the loose plot threads quite nicely, and it feels like a nice note to end
the AXIS coverage on.

That
being said, I think this is all I’m going to review of Deadpool for now. I don’t really want to deal with Deadpool’s
wackiness on an ongoing basis as that will probably be too much for me and is
likely to get stale fast, but maybe next time there is an interesting story arc
or something, I’ll cover Deadpool again.
Until that time I am going to just focus on giving you guys the content
you seem to enjoy the most.
Other
than that, I hope you enjoyed my review of Deadpool #39! Let me know what you think in the comments
section below. Also, be sure to check
out our website and Facebook page in the video description. Now that the AXIS event is over, our website
is the best place to get our complete reading list with my coverage of the
