Deadpool Back in Black #2
Published October 19, 2016 by
Marvel Comics. Written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Salva Espin.
Wade is still out test driving
the symbiote suite abandoned by Peter Parker in the mid-eighties. In the next
installment of Back in Black our web-slinging merc is being tailed by a curious
cat as he crashes a kids party being entertained by a less than amusing clown
who might’ve been employed by Marvel at one time before answering his true life
calling of party clown! But wait this is about Deadpool and his new duds.
Meanwhile at the party Power Pack are being disgusted by the Obnoxio the clown
and his inability to make balloon animals. While the party is dying though a
ship full of Snarks arrive to liven the atmosphere up and attempt some
intergalactic kidnapping. Luckily the clown is able to slow them down enough
for Deadpool and his closest friend to spring into action. But the rescue is
short lived as a snark with seventies style armor is brought in and once again
the clown comes through. While Deadpool and his new Klyntar pal make a meal out
of the Snark kidnappers.
Onto Back in Black #2. Ok I’m
trying to get the title “Back in Black”. This is the first time Deadpool joined
with the suit so maybe a better title would’ve been Dead in Black? Obnoxio was
a fun part of the story and seeing the Power Pack kids in action was great even
if Deadpool kept getting their name wrong. At the end the set up for the next
featured character is going to be Blackcat so we’ll see if the suit makes the
merc or the merc makes the suit in the next issue…

DEADPOOL BACK IN BLACK #1
Published October 5, 2016 by
Marvel Comics. Written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Salva Espin.
Before Peter Parker bonded with
the symbiote alien during Secret Wars the symbiote was briefly joined with Wade
Wilson. How was this missed? While being hunted down the symbiote finds
Deadpool in a typical 80’s comic jam. His eyes gouged out and being strangled
by his A.I. partner, Machine Man. And if
that wasn’t enough he was trying to avoid looking at the dance of Dansen Macabre.
However, to his luck the symbiote alien senses he’s in trouble and quickly
joins with the Merc with a Mouth at which point he’s able to overpower Machine
Man and waste the monks of the Cult of Kali. But here’s another big reveal.
Deadpool was at Secret Wars in that epic battle against the Beyonder! He must’ve
been overlooked and pushed to the side by Jim Shooter. During a flashback he
remembers his first encounter with the symbiote but it left him for Parker
instead. Now flash forward the symbiote is back with Wilson and strangely gives
him web-slinging abilities that rival Larsen or McFarlane-like poses.
I had to jump on this series. I
love a good comic parody. I think it’s healthy to poke fun at the serious, high
drama stories everyone once and awhile. I’m still working some for my own comic
creation. But this is great fun to relive comics in the eighties. And I
remember 1980. Two Easter eggs that stick out are the editor’s side notes
scattered through the book and the MS-DOS reference. Some of the lingo in the
beginning narrative by Deadpool ring of eighties but white high-tops, jeans and
a mullet would’ve really nailed it*! I’m
hoping for some breakdancing in the remainder issues…
