Deadpool: Evil Deadpool - Salvador Espin, Daniel Way I shouldn't be bored by Deadpool. But what we have here has too little story and too few wacky hijinks to be satisfying as a Deadpool story. Or, really, any kind of story. It picks up where the previous collection ([b:Deadpool: Institutionalized|12887129|Deadpool Institutionalized (Deadpool, #9)|Daniel Way|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1343631308s/12887129.jpg|18040616]) left off, with a dull evil twin/clone story that lasts too long and does too little.

I think this probably be described as "writing for the trade". Take a lackluster storyline, extend it two or three times longer than it has any right being, lather, rinse, repeat. The same was true of the previous two collections. Between the three, there's 14 issues of Deadpool, with only about 5 or 6 issues worth of storyline.

This isn't even getting into Deadpool: The Musical, which is almost physically painful to read. Do yourself a favor and skip it.

This is the third Deadpool-by-Way collection in a row I've given 2 stars, and for all the same reasons. I'd give it up now, but there's just one collection left! And the "Deadpool is suicidal" storyline (you know, the one intersting thing left in this series) still has my attention, and I want to see where it goes.
