Cable & Deadpool, Volume 1: If Looks Could Kill by Patrick Zircher, Mark Brooks, Fabian Nicieza
2.0
2.5 stars
I just can't get into this version of Deadpool. The dialogue is like a watered down version of better Deadpool books. With a writer like Way or Dugan, this could be great but instead, this feels like I'm reading the jokes they rejected. I didn't laugh once reading this book. I was also uncomfortable with the joke about underage girls being "babes in waiting". Gross.
As for the plot, it wasn't enough to draw me in either. A blue religious guy wants to make everyone blue and unified. Okay, what's stopping anyone from taking him down? He has no powers so the conflict is that he's already taken steps to make everyone else like him. It's not super interesting.
I like Cable as a character. He's interesting and I want to know more about him. The scene where he and Deadpool save each other is the only part that grabbed me.
Anyway, I want to know more about how they work together but I don't care for Nicieza's writing style at all.
