Deadpool Volume 3: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Marvel Now)

Pooly as usual. The writers have done a phenomenal job at not only capturing the essence of Deadpool's humor, but also have made it an entertaining read while doing so. Some of the running commentary from Deadpool throughout the comic is just something not seen elsewhere in comics, hence the high

value of this Marvel NOW! gem.

Been on a real Deadpool kick lately, really enjoying this run. This time around, Deadpool realizes he's been having his organs harvested, and tracks down the cause. I won't spoil anything, but the big reveal of what's been going on is pretty awesome as an idea, it's almost a shame that whole

subplot is resolved relatively quickly.

As a downside, the story heavily involves Wolverine and Captain America. It never veers away from focusing on Deadpool, but I find the two of them somewhat grating, and Wolverine's lines are often extremely corny, without being intentionally funny.

One really neat thing is that Wade actually gets pretty serious. He spends long stretches being uninterested in talking because he's depressed, and there are actually stakes for him this time (again, won't spoil). For a guy who is basically invincible and always funny, making him vulnerable and serious was an interesting change. Lots of insight into his character.

Overall, a good run, lots of good character building.
