Deadpool #7!!!

Deadpool #7 was entertaining.  This issue was supposedly a comic that had been finished but not been published in the past for whatever reason.  In this issue Deadpool is hired to make Tony Stark aka Iron Man drink.  The story starts out simply enough in the Daily Bugle with Peter Parker admitting to everyone he was Spider-Man during a pitch meeting.  Everyone ignores Peter and sends him off to get more pictures of Spider-Man.  He meets Flash Thompson who has parked in a Handicap spot and then Deadpool steal the car. Deadpool almost runs down the Power Pack but only promises them that their comic book was already doomed.  Deadpool is then met by an agent of the devil who wants Tony Stark to take a drink; they debate contract conditions until Deadpool agrees in exchange for ownership of a Laser Disc factory.  There then were some entertaining events and Deadpool knocks out Tony Stark, takes the Iron Man armor and saves the day.  Things end badly for the demon working for Mephisto and Cable arrives asking for Deadpool’s help.  This issue was good and from some of the quips not some long lost issue but a clever and entertaining story.

Thunderbolts #5 !!!!

Thunderbolts #5 was interesting but just filled a gap in the story.  It is weird to see or should I say hear Deadpool sound so sane and thoughtful.  I do not really believe the Punisher should still be going at this point considering his wounds.  It is strange not hearing the Leader rant and rave about how smart he is, the Leader is even helping Thunderbolt Ross who has come down a step and is not the Red Hulk at the moment.   I have no idea what is up with Venom (is that Flash Thompson?).  One of my big complaints about this comic is there are too many characters to follow and some did not have their story told as well as some.  I fear this is a sign there will be a “surprise” in the story that should shock the reader unless we knew what was going on.
