Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

This was... okay.   It was a what if type story, set in the 1950s, introducing a new version of both Deadpool and Cable, as well as Outlaw who is less well known.   (I'd seen her in one other Deadpool scene so I wasn't familiar with her at all.)

That being said?   this felt a bit bland.   I wasn't into the story, mostly because Deadpool felt like a shallower, less interesting version of himself.   It was the humor, really.   He had the voices, he had the lack of morality that it takes to be a mercenary, without being flat out evil.   But he wasn't funny.   He didn't seem upbeat ever, like he does at least some - if not most/all of the time - in other graphic novels. 

Apparently, if you take the humor out of Deadpool, it's depressing shit happening to someone who is mentally ill.   Which made me want to vomit at points. 

There's an interesting story about sleeper agents buried under this all.   If I hadn't been expecting Wade Wilson to be Deadpool, I probably would have enjoyed this.   As it was?   It was a pretty big fail to me.   Three stars, because the art was quite lovely, and the storyline wasn't bad.   Knocked off two stars for lack of excitement on my part.
