You Are Deadpool #4 - "Live Free or Dead Pool"

[laughing_tree]

It's five weekly issues of a game that's also a comic - a "gamic", if you will - that you've never quite seen the like of before! Have there been Choose-Your-Own-Path comics? Many! Have there been Fighting Fantasy style gamebook comics? A few! But I don't believe there's been anything quite like this before - with a UNIQUE MINIGAME in each issue! A PAPERCRAFT DIE! FIVE ISSUES PLAYABLE IN (NEARLY) ANY ORDER! -- Al Ewing

"Ha ha! The Nineties were terrible!"

Well for comics they were at least.

Well it's either 24 or 42 based on the clues we see here. But since only one is a Hitchiker's Guide reference I'll guess 42.

This is bizarre, but fun.

Is it weird that after seeing all of these Grasshoppers I want one to become a member of Wade's supporting cast?

[thanekos]

There'd have to be a new one every issue, though, like Murphy Brown's secretaries.

What was he in Issue 2? I don't think I saw him in the scans...

[malitia]

Issue 2? If you chose to plagiarize... I mean, artify his comic he appeared to protect his likeness rights.

What I learned from this series:

- 3 inventory slots are way too few.
- Grasshopper is legion.
- People with timetravel tech shouldn't be allowed to play games with Kang.

I saved the paperclip from Issue One, hoping it'd end up being useful.

I had the exactly right item to get the good ending (without cheating) up until issue #4, when I had to drop it because the random number god hates me and didn't want to cheat. ^^;

BTW, question for anyone who bought a physical copy of the book: What's up with panel 57?

[scorntx]

It's the absolute last page of the comic.


It's 'pool on the can.

[laughing_tree]

I first read that as 'the absolute best page of the comic'...

Wait, a whole page devoted to a single panel? Or was there also an ad for the next issue or whatever, on the same page?

(The digital version gives each individual panel its own page, and included #57 in sequence between 56 and 68.)

Anyone else hear the Chaos Emerald chime in their head when Wade got the gem?

Note to self: if stranded in 90s comic book, be sure to pack anatomy textbook.
