"Once again the infamous Deadpool has been granted an all-new series, and it all kicks off with Deadpool #1. This time around it’s Kelly Thompson at the helm; the mind behind the latest Captain Marvel series and the West Coast Avengers.

Since this is Deadpool we’re talking about, you just know that he’s going to get himself into some sort of trouble right off the bat. The real question is: what sort of trouble will it be this time, and how many other characters are going to get dragged into the mix?

Well, we can answer at least one of those questions. This time around, Deadpool starts off his series by taking a new contract; one that sets him up against the King of Monsters. And let the insanity and bloodshed ensue."

Deadpool! Kelly Thompson! Jeff the land shark!

I've always thought Deadpool was an interesting character, but I tend to avoid his comics because he's really gross. He can't die, so he usually gets hurt in very creative and disturbing ways. Also, there was the one time he hid on the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship, and everyone knew he was there because of how badly he smelled. He had broken himself on purpose to fit into a panel or something, and then his body odor gave him away. See? GROSS.

However, I will forever read whatever Kelly Thompson writes, and she's currently writing Deadpool. I loved both her All-New Hawkeye and West Coast Avengers series, so I'm hoping this one will be just as entertaining and creative. I really enjoyed the first issue, although the story didn't unfold how I thought it would. I started to care about one of the characters too soon, and was left feeling very angry at the end. I'm totally okay with this, because it means Thompson is a remarkable writer that makes her readers feel invested in the story and its characters, but ugh. THAT GUY.
