A little about the Deadpool Corps

The last few days I have been reading Deadpool related comics and I have been updating myself on the Marvel Universe. Finally, I came to the latest Deadpool issue on my pile, Deadpool Corps (yes another corps related post on my blog, but at least this one is Marvel Universe related). 
So if you read Prelude to Deadpool Corps you know the badesst merc with a mouth in the whole multiverse of comics is putting a team together of Deadpools from other dimenssions. Up until now I love what they have done with Deadpool, he now has mission given to him by the contemplator to save the multiverse with a bunch of Deadpools.
One of the new characters on the DPCorps that has had the most time dedicated to him is Zombie Deadpool, who by the way, is just a head. So one of the main characters on Deadpool Corps is not even a whole character, he is not even alive. Headpool, just as Deadpool, has a wierd way of getting out of the wors situations without being destroyed. 
Next we can see Wanda Wilson, our Lady Deadpool. She has one hot body, except by the fact that it is as scarred as Deadpool´s body. On her universe Wanda is on the rebel side of the superhuman registration act and is commonly seen battling General America. 
In every happy and multiversal familly there is a kid, this one is no exception. But this kid is no usual kid, he is great with all kinds of weapons and his signature weapons are two lightsabers.
Last but not least, we have what every superhero should have but does not have because it would be far to much to keep track of, a dog. Just like the Batman Family has Ace the bat.hound, the Superman Family has Krypto the superdog, the X-men has Lockheed Kitty's Dragon, the Avatar has Appa the flying six legged bison and Mystery Inc. has Scooby-Doo, the Deadpool family now has Dogpool a dog with a healing factor due to experimentation.
And I almost forgot our original Wade Wilson from the Main Marvel Universe. As mentioned before, Deadpool is one of my favorite characters.

Adventure Comics 07 - Review

This is my first comic review ever. Let's see if I can pull up a decent format for it.

Adventure Comics 07
Blackest Night Tie-in 
February Release

Writter: Tony Bedard
Pencilwork: Travis Moore





This is the first Adventure Comics issue I have read in a while and I decided to start my review with it for two reasons; this title has a new creative team and it's alphabetical order places it before the others.

Looking at my first reason to review it. The new team. This is more of a sync-up issue for them, they get to try this title on a story that is already focused somewhere else (namely Blackest Night) and advance a little in superboy's specific story. Much like the other tie-in titles this month; Green Arrow 30, Flash 3, Wonder Woman 03 and JSA 3; superboy´s story is changing one thing only (wait for the spoiler part for this).

Another good part of this issue is the historic recap superboy does at the beginning, we essentially get to see a resumed history of superboy on the DC world since Reign of Supermen in two pages narrated by Superboy from inside the Black Lantern. This brought back memories, seeing superboy in his old outfit, when he was yelling to everyone he was Superman not Superboy.

Now for the content.

For those not following what is happening on Blackest Night and grab this issue, I suppose it is because of the new story arc that is going to come starting next issue, so here goes a quick recap of superboy's whereabouts during this particular event.

In blackest Night we see Black rings resurrecting dead people and feeding from their emotinons and we get to know the Corps for the other colors of the visual spectrum which (you might have guessed already) are the ones with the means to defeat them.

On superboy's case, and some other resurrected heroes, a black made its way to his hand. Superboy became a Black Lantern with the reasoning being that he died once and he is meant to be dead. This is where we set of. 

This issue starts with the recap and we realize Conner is thinking all this from inside the Black Lantern Superboy while fighting Cassie. Throughout the issue Conner is trying to escape while the Black Lantern is insulting Cassie with all he's got. 

By the end of the issue Conner is able to liberate himself from the Black Ring and with both Cassie and Krypto heads to the main conflict to make a stand.

Some points worth being highlighted. During this issue Superboy is able to use the cold breathing superman does for the first time, this added to the fact that he can still use Tactile Telekinesis (learned a month or two ago) is making our Jr.S a bad-ass on the neighborhood. 

So here I leave it for this issue.
