Deadpool, Vol. 1: Dead Presidents by Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan
3.0

Updated Review: So this was better upon re-read. Few more jokes landed and I really dug the art this time around, some awesome bloody fight scenes. I think the problem with Deadpool works so well Rated R that the PG-13 version in the comics doesn't work as well for me. But I did enjoy Ben Franklin being a funny dude.

But yeah reading the entire Omnibus, hope it goes deeper into Deadpool mind to get a more down to earth story.

Original Review: Man, I guess Deadpool comics just don't work for me. I can never finish a whole volume. I really tried to get through this but came back with being extremely bored. Basically it's just Deadpool going around killing dead presidents who have come back as ghost. One or two funny jokes aside, nothing really hits. The art is somewhat decent atleast. However, another snoozer for Deadpool comic. A 2 out of 5.
