Deadpool Back in Black #5
Published December 14, 2016 by
Marvel Comics. Written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Salvador Espin.
Issue #5 of Deadpool Back in
Black is the exciting conclusion of the untold story of the Merc with the Mouth
and Spider-man’s symbiote suit all taking place in the spectacularly excessive
eighties!*
As the story begins we find
Killer Thrill has her man, Spider-man that is and after a valiant fight by our
friendly neighborhood Spider-Man she begins to use him to draw the Klyntar to
her.
Has she bargained for more than
she’s ready for? As the symbiote reacts to the anguish she puts Petey through
it eventually finds her but her assistant, Guzz, delivers a sonic blast that
separates Wade from the Klyntar and allow DP time to clear his head to deliver
a KO to Guzz and rejoin the symbiote. Once reunited the symbiote sets its
sights and tongue on Killer Thrill. And taking a piece of the bounty hunter
with it.
After a devastating blow Killer
Thrill calls off her quest to capture the Klyntar yet again but not before
delivering a parting shot to Deadpool and the symbiote.
Now the symbiote sets its sights
on the wounded Spidey and its desire for revenge. However, Deadpool can’t let
that happen and forces the symbiote to separate from him once again. Free from
the symbiote Deadpool is able to save webhead from the vengeful alien.
All bounty hunters have an
employer and finally we learn who has hired Killer Thrill but they aren’t too
happy about the failure of the mission. Killer Thrill however attempts to
appease the situation by a Guzz offering.
Back on Earth we finally see the
prior events of Eddie Brock’s fateful meeting with the symbiote and the birth
of Venom…
This Deadpool blast from the past
has been pretty fun. The artwork is great and all the eighties, Spider-man –
symbiote spoofing has been a real joyride. Killer Thrill’s hijinks have been
very entertaining and her love-hate relationship for Spider-Man really pulls at
the heartstrings.

Deadpool Back in Black #4
Published December 7, 2016 by
Marvel Comics. Written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Salvador Espin.
Who likes a hearty helping of
berries and nuts? Wade keeps masquerading around New York as the black suited
Spiderman and yet again attracts another of the webslinger’s foes. A violent
and repulsive encounter with Kraven the Hunter starts the action off in this
issue but the Klyntar saves the Merc and his foul mouth yet again. More
fighting and some poison darts get the better of the two and begin a strange hallucinogenic
trip through a mix of Wilson’s memories and the symbiote’s when it was with
Spiderman.
Trippin’ on whatever Kraven puts
in those darts Deadpool finds himself in the lion’s den at the zoo. And he isn’t
greeted too warmly by his feline hosts. Ironically it’s the hunter who saves
their hide this time. But the symbiote begins to show a darker and more twisted
side of itself and fends off Kraven.
While sleeping off the last of
the drugs in the poison darts and collecting bird droppings all over himself
and his friendly suit the merc is once again being hunted by Killer Thrill but someone
else has caught the assassin’s attention. And it all concludes in the next
exciting issue!
Kraven the Hunter has always been
a prideful character and while these Deadpool issues are a great parody of some
of Marvel’s best villain the fun doesn’t stop just because the hunter shows up.
The best part is probably the lion wrestling Kraven does and the fact that he
gets the idea to change his M.O. to hunt Spiderman from the torqued alien suit
that Spiderman bailed on is pretty comical. But the cliffhanger in this issue
is great too as the final issue should be a McFarlanesque epic meeting and
Parker must be a magnet for *redheads? We’ll see how this all plays out next
issue.

Deadpool Back in Black #3
Published November 9, 2016 by
Marvel Comics. Written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Salvador Espin.
Our hero with great fashion sense
finds himself in some eighties style girl trouble in Deadpool Back in Black #3.
The Merc with a Mouth first finds himself mistaken for Parker by Black Cat who
just wants to purr up and rekindle their magic but then out of nowhere pops up
the most heinous villain of them all. A wicked bunny-girl complete with
eighties retro-goons and yes, bunnies! Maybe she should be in the Bat-universe?
But if Bunny Woman with killer rabbits wasn’t enough headache there’s still
Killer Thrill who just loves his new suit to death. Literally. But Wade manages
somehow to survive all the mayhem of this issue but unfortunately for Bunny
Woman her bunnies won’t be around for Easter. And Wade can’t take advantage of
Black Cat just getting it all wrong.
This issue will probably be my
favorite out of all five. Bunny Woman is too much! The whole Monty Python
Search of the Holy Grail killer bunny theme was great. But there was no running
away except by Bunny Girl. And the real money shot was Killer Thrill taking the
bunnies out. However, if there’s a moral to this story it’s probably don’t
underestimate a ginger with disease ridden rabbits…
