I enjoy Deadpool in theory but I'm not a regular reader of Deadpool comics. But I picked this volume up because some of my fave comedians/podcasters (Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, Scott Aukerman, Ben Acker/Blacker) wrote one-off issues that are collected here. As I suspected--I really enjoyed all of those issues, as well as the Roast of Deadpool at the end. The actual like, plot-related part of this...well, I mean, if I'm picking up volume 8 of a series without having read volumes 2-7, it's only fair that I should be a little confused, but it was fine.
