Wade Wilson, not to be confused with Slade, was was part of the Weapon X program and eventually became the character Deadpool. Since making his first appearance in New Mutants #98, Deadpool has developed quite a huge, passionate fan base. He started out as a villain, but ended up as a kinda hero with some off beat humor, but still a total bad ass when it comes to a throw down. His random and comical dialog earned him the nickname, “merc with a mouth” as he’s made appearances in just about every Marvel title. His journey has been a long one, but now we get to witness the wedding of Deadpool in the biggest 27th issue in comic book history…

As usual, Deadpool is ruining some criminals day when he is reminded that he is getting married. As fate would have it, he’s getting betrothed to Shiklah, Queen of the Underworld. While her demoic form is rather gruesome, her “earth form” is a bit easier on the eyes. They both couldn’t be happier with one another. It’s funny to see Deadpool try to find someone to perform the ceremony. It’s also really interesting to see the mind set of the Marvel Universe in this story. It’s a great take on humanity, friendship, and even family as they all set their personal baggage aside, kick back and have fun because hey, it’s Deadpools day. The rest of the issue is packed with several solid short stories of his past love’s, relationships, and supposed “other” marriages.

There are too many names to give credit to in this write up, so I’m just going to say that everyone who worked on this issue did a fantastic job. I’m pleasantly surprised how the main story ended up. The other side stories were a treat as well. It seems as if he’s having a drink, recanting the different relationship’s he’s had to whoever will listen. My person favorite centered around the 7th infinity stone! The issue also broke a Guinness world record with the most characters on a comic book cover (top of article) at 232. Towards the end of the issue, it has a map and key that gives you each character. There is also a kick ass Taco Time 8-bit variant (right). It’s not all fun and games, in the beginning of the issue, Deadpool ruined someones day. I”m willing to bet they are planing on some payback in the pages of Deadpool #28, due to hit shelves sometime next month! This is a GREAT issue and a MUST BUY!
