This Week in Panels: Week 46
August 8th, 2010 by Gavok | Tags: avengers, captain america, deadpool, doctor doom, firestar, ghost rider, gorilla man, hawkeye, hellboy, hit-monkey, irredeemable, magog, mockingbird, nick fury, panels, punisherWelcome to a very special Too Much Goddamn Deadpool Edition of ThWiP. Why too much? Even though I didn’t even read Wade Wilson’s War this time around? Simply put, Deadpool #1000 has way too much going for it for me to choose a single panel, so I figured I’d give a spot to all eleven of its stories. Adding that to an already stacked week and we have a hefty set.

Marvel Universe vs. Punisher was a pleasant surprise. It’s a definite better horror story than the Marvel Zombies corner of Marvel, as redundant as the comic is. With S.H.I.E.L.D., just be glad that I didn’t choose that panel. People who read it know exactly what I’m talking about.
As for my thoughts on Deadpool #1000? I thought it was well worth the money. Every story was worth reading except for the last one. Not only that, but it comes with all the Deadpool variant covers from several months back.

Wow, Mr Fantastic’s been working out. Check out those guns!
I love reading your week in panels, but I just dont get all the Deadpool love. Can anyone make me understand?
I don’t read Irredeemable, but I’m guessing he doesn’t turn back time for that dude. Even JMS’s Superman wouldn’t do something that big to prove a point.
Deadpool, for a lot of comic fans, represents the 90’s heyday of collecting, trading, and basically the last great boom when comics were EVERYWHERE. Deadpool was this little corner of the Marvel Universe that was over-the-top while being genuinely funny for the most part (especially the Kelly/Mcguinnes run, and the later Simone/UDON stint), and was from what I understand the book that many “real” comic book fans sang the praises of, to hide from the woes of Ben Reily, etc. etc.
At least, that’s what the book was for me. And seeing such a huge resurgence of the character, I’m betting there’s a lot of 90’s Survivors out there checking-out Deadpool for the same reasons, coupled with a lot of new fans reading a comic about a funny ninja that shoots people and looks all deformed n’ stuff. And also hangs-out with glorious examples of cheesecake, and The X-Men. Kids love those X-Men.
@L0N: As I’ve said before, Deadpool is a perfect storm of the better parts of Spider-Man, Wolverine and Snake Eyes. He’s funny, badass at times, versatile in his adventures, a loner and occasionally noble. His powers and insanity are usually played for laughs, but in better stories are used as part of his strategies to the point that his own unique methods are a power in itself. He’s a jokey character, but he’s so inexplicably competent and talented in his profession that the rest of the Marvel Universe has to reluctantly respect his existence when he shows up to annoy them.
Though right now, the main drawback to his comics are that writers go for the easy humor-based stories that ignore his more dimensional, earlier adventures. They’re too afraid to give him any real character development these days, so he’s been in a perpetual state of not being sure if he should be a hero or not.
I read SHIELD. What panel?
(And I coulda swore one of you was reading ASM…)
Oh, and the Spidey/FF mini is really good. You, Gavin, Mr. collects every Venom appearance, should especially check it out.
@clay: I’m reading ASM, but OMIT has been a drag, writing-wise. Art’s good, but I can take or leave the story.
I agree with Clay. That Spidey/FF mini has been awesome thus far.
@clay: Newton going green in the bedroom.
I’ll give Spidey/F4 a shot. Thanks for the heads up, guys.
@Steven: You should really read Irredeemable. The Plutonian just might do something like that to prove a point.
