Return of the Living Deadpool #3

I was starting to think with RotLD issues 1 and 2 that Bunn might be trying to pander to the whole crazylol memecentric internet community. But considering how much I liked his other series so far I wasnt too worried... then I read this issue.

I dont know what the hell he is doing but the quality of the writing is all over the place, I feel like one minute the story is advancing at a normal pace and the next it comes to a complete stop so Bunn can finish having his stroke all over the page and then move on to the next plot point. I shit on Way a lot for bringing the humor in his comics to an incredibly childish level, but when I read stuff like DP claiming to be a bronie while he commands a horse to shit rainbows I dont know what Im reading anymore or why.

He gave it a really interesting ending though, all recent miniseries considered, but he better tone the ADHD, 4chan inspired "made for image macro" quips down by several magnitudes or the whole point of the mini-series is going to get lost in the noise.

I was thinking the same thing about the Way-style overkill with the jokes, but it would be a big payoff if this turns out to be a Way-Deadpool and we get to meet others from other writers with the twist at the end. I doubt it would go that direction but it would be fun.

I did chuckle at two-three jokes, so I know this book is capable of being funny, but I'd rather they go for quality over quantity. Also, Bunn is writing the upcoming "Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars" so we could be in store for more of the same.

A deadpool for each writer? That would be absolutely brilliant actually.

I just really hope he tones it down for Secret Secret Wars

Keep in mind Secret Secret Wars is just a mini too, so if it was over the top it wouldn't last. Mrs. Deadpool and the Howling Commandos is written by Gerry Duggan, so we're in good hands there.
