Deadpool by Skottie Young Vol. 1 Mercin' Hard For The Money by Skottie Young,

​  I don’t normally read traditional superhero comics, but Deadpool was so much fun in the movies, I figured I’d check it out, see if it translated well on the page. And sure enough, he’s still fun and sassy and smart alecky, albeit not on the same level, the suit really does need that awesome Reynolds comedic timing.  Also, it really is difficult for me to enjoy the traditional guys in tights thing and there are so many superheroes in this thing, Avengers and all, the entire comic universe.
   Deadpool is great because he isn’t a traditional superhero, unbound by values and morals, he does it for money, as the title suggests.  Mercin’ it for all its worth. And frequently in various states of undress since his supersuit doesn’t appear to have the same blastproof qualities the rest of the sups do.
   This graphic novel collects 6 individual books, the first 3 are one continuous adventure of Deadpool being the only one to defeat a terrifying foe from outer space and thus the Avengers reluctantly have to ask for his assistance. The other 3 are individual standalone kind of stories that for me were much more enjoyable.
   All in all, the book was fun and showcased its smartass protagonist nicely, even for people who might be somehow (gasp)  still unfamiliar with him. If you are those people, do yourself a favor and watch the movies. Like immediately. They are the wackiest cleverest funniest meta takes on superhero genre out there. The art was good here too, traditional superhero art very well done. Great muscles and great reds. Overall, yeah, fun was had. Wouldn’t be opposed to reading more. But would really love a third movie.
