A year back, the hit superhuman film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ended up being a monetary success. It had mixed responses from both fans and critics. In any case, even after 17 months it’s still giving comedic feed to DC Comics’ rivals in the space of publishing.
Deadpool, and to a degree Marvel all in all, has had a ton of fun at the climactic “Martha” scene in a year back’s Spider-Man/Deadpool #6. And after that Domino got in on the action in the Uncanny X-Men Annual #1.
Right now, the Merc With The Mouth is grinding away again in a week back’s Deadpool Versus The Punisher #5, the last issue of the shoot-them up series setting Wade Wilson against Frank Castle.
The previous Thunderbolts team partners are having it out in a money launderer’s vault, with Deadpool ready to give the slaughtering blow. The Punisher starts an exceptionally beautiful dysphemism which makes the scene begin.
Deadpool goes into a tirade that most likely would have worked admirably in the real film, considering the unreasonableness of the whole scene, before he is stopped by the Punisher who brings in some awful news: his mother’s name is Louise, not Martha.
Not “Martha?” Well, that changes the entire equation.
The series changes slightly with a hilarious end, setting out to pose the query of “what’s better: healing factor or no healing factor” to top off the miniseries.
It’s a perfect end to a fun series, one which you ought to see in stores or online now before its paperback release. Deadpool will go up against the Marvel Universe in the upcoming series which is suitably titled “Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe Again.”
