From:

I'm just not seeing Deadpool's appeal, I guess. He just seems like the worst of the 90s excesses. Every time someone tells me how wonderful the Kelly run was or what a fun character he is...I guess he's just not to my taste, because I've never seen anything that great. This isn't bad by any sense, but it's not great either, IMHO.

I mean, yes, it shows a man being taken advantage of by a woman and that the man feels violated; I get that. And I realize that comics handling this topic in any meaningful way is a rarity...but this just rings kind of hollow. Especially as the dialogue on the last page or so is writing checks the character can't cash ("Something...PERMANENT, Al."...dude, this is comics, that word doesn't apply to anything, ever).
