Be sure to catch up with Deadpool #5!
*Spoilers ahead!*
Deadpool is out of commission after his fight with Death Grip, so he gets to play “guy in the chair” to his daughters Ellie and Princess, and of course as Deadpool calls him, Task-Daddy. Taskmaster will watch over Ellie and Princess on their first mission as mercenaries while Deadpool stays behind. But before that happens, Deadpool has a present for his chip off the ol’ block, her first super suit! Looking like a mini Deadpool while sporting a Taskmaster badge on her arm, Ellie is ready to take the mercenary business by storm. All she has to do is follow her father’s one rule, no killing.
Incredibly, Ellie and Princess are triumphant in their first mission and managed to follow her dad’s rule! Everything seems to be falling into place for Deadpool. His merc business is looking to do well, his daughter is following in his footsteps and they have a thriving relationship, everything is looking good. Of course, that’s not the Deadpool way. If it looks to be going good, the story isn’t over yet. While Deadpool is basking in his glow, none other than Death Grip walks into the door, ready to learn his final lesson.
The Art
I can’t say enough about how good the art is in Deadpool #6! Of course, we have to talk about Ellie’s suit. Everything about it is just fantastic; the hood, the jacket, the weaponry. It fits Elli’s personality so well and still has a great Deadpool vibe to it. Seeing it in action was the cherry on top of a Wilson family pie. Her fight sequences with Princess against Angeloff and his goons was a feast for the eyes.
The Writing
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Ellie taking on the role as Deadpool, but Cody Ziglar stuck the landing. But something else Ziglar did was play with my emotions. Everything was going too well with Ellie, so of course, Death Grip had to kill Deadpool. Deadpool #6 made you feel all the feelings while reading it. It really was an entertaining comic to read, so hats off to Ziglar and the whole creative team. I’m anxious but excited to see what comes next in Deadpool #7.
I give this a 9.2 out of 10
