Deadpool

So, I haven't read many comics lately, but I'm thinking of getting into some Deadpool. Where should I begin? Has Deadpool got his own series of comics in the Ultimate universe yet?

    No and for good reason, Ultimate Deady sucks. The Deapool series is generally fantastic in the beggining and at the end with some stand-out issues admist the less than stellar middle. I'd suggest you read some Cable and Deadpool to see if you like the character before looking for his series, it's also much easier to find.

    Yeah, what exactly is this Agent X? Is it just like Deadpool but the protagonist is in a different "skin" and name?

    Basically, although in some ways I enjoyed it even more than the regular Deadpool series.

    Agent X is both good and hilarious.

    Ultimate Deadpool is lame and possible even retarded.

    Cable and Deadpool is usually a good read.

    Ultimate Deadpool apparently sucks because he doesn't make fifty jokes a minute also fourth wall etc. I liked him, though. BUT FEAR NOT, IF IT'S GOOFY DEADPOOL YOU'RE HERE FOR YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! TAKE IT AWAY, FANBOYS!

    I hated Ultimate Deadpool for more reasons than just him not being funny. His absolute hatred for mutants was completely out of character(it was almost completely "I SMOLDER WITH GENERIC RAGE! GRRRR!!!) and horribly written(even for Bendis). I enjoyed some aspects of Ultimate Deadpool's character, like his tricks with the cloaker and the kickass costume(mostly Bagley's doing), but otherwise he's a character without any of the soul of the 616 counterpart and a failure in my eyes.

    Dunno about anyone else.

    I quite enjoyed Ultimate Deadpool, despite the smoldering generic rage. Apart from that, he seemed to be a very cool, sinister version of Wade.

    Pretty much my feelings exactly.

    And that costume is ace.

    They're reprinting the first few Cable/Deadpool trades soon, so those will be easy to get ahold of. There's also some speculation that the old Deadpool solo series, which was probably the best the character's ever been, might be getting a reprint soon, since Ed McGuinness did some of his first work on that series, and he'll soon be pumping out some more stuff for them, as he signed an exclusive contract with them some months back.

    Otherwise, just dig around online or at your local comic shop for old Joe Kelly/Gail Simone Deadpool issues or Agent X. Avoid the Deadpool stuff that Christopher Priest wrote.

    As for who Agent X is, all you need to know is that his name's Alex and he possesses a healing ability similar to Deadpool's. In the first issue he turns up on the doorstep of a young woman named Sandy, who happens to be dating the world-famous henchman trainer Taskmaster. With the greatest teacher in the world available to him, he becomes a mercenary and generally gets into assorted silly situations.

    Agent X, from what I was told, is from a brief period where Marvel didn't own the licensing for Deadpool and didn't want to pay for more.

    So they made a character that was almost exactly like him in every way.

    Something something they had to pay the creator something something they didn't have the rights.

    All of this is hearsay.

    lol Reavers. I don't think there's anythink wrong with taking a character in the main universe and completely redoing him. Who knows maybe the fan boys'll get what they want and we'll get to see Wade go from a calculating, capable merc to Deady. Or better yet we could see how he could have turned out if he never had anything to do with Weapon X and such. Taking more risks with established characters is a good thing.

    But why not just wear a normal helmet? They could've given him eyelids, at least.
