IGN has posted an interview with both Deadpool writer Daniel Way and Thunderbolts writer Andy Diggle. In the interview they discuss what it was like working together, and some of the details of the upcoming crossover. Way also at one point mentions that he would like to have a Deadpool story featuring Bullseye and that it "ooks like it's going to happen sooner rather than later.". Thanks to ThisGuy for the great tip. [SOURCE]
This issue contained everything a kick-ass Deadpool book needs: comedy, explosions and moments of insanity that border on brilliance. Way gets into the character so well I'm beginning to question his sanity. But if craziness allows such fun comics, then sanity is certainly over-rated.
What's making this depiction of the character so compelling, and a buy-on-sight title is the mixture of lunacy and cunning that makes everything work out in interesting and often funny ways. There's not much that can be said without spoiling the fun, but the zombies manage to be funnier and less cliche than many depictions. Great stuff.
Standard DEADPOOL takes on a contract and things don't go the way he figures. Nothing deep, no multi-title crossovers, just fun Deadpool lunacy like you'd expect.
So for all of you naysayers of Daniel Way (like Ron) and those who arent huge fans of Deadpool....Please, please give this title a try. I will swear by my own life that this title is just as fun as Incredible Herc, Captain Britain, Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, and any other Marvel title that is out right now.
A bit wonky, what with the back and forth time-jumpiness, but Way still exceeds all expectations with Deadpool. The jokes are funny and Medina’s art looks all energetic and snazzy. And come on, Deadpool versus zombies…What’s not to love?
The biggest problem is that with all the jumps forward and backwards into time, it was hard concentrating on the plot and figuring where what situation went where. The book helps the reader out by giving convenient timetables, but it's still hard to accurately follow the story from one plot point to the next.
What else can I say? The latest issue of Deadpool worked for me in every way. I highly recommend it.
It isn't a bad comic by any stretch of the imagination... just an unsatisfying one. Way really set up a strong storytelling formula in the first arc, one that I think he could perfect in time. But because he chose to riff on somewhat tired territory -- as well as crafting a solution that wasn't nearly as clever as the Deadpool vs. Skrulls arc -- it just felt a little light.

Among the competitors, a certain "Merc with a Mouth," who's been hired to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a millionaire's son. The trail ended here for Junior, but will it for Deadpool?

"And then Deadpool. I have to be very careful how I talk about Deadpool, because it’s something I’m really excited about in the movie, where it plays and how it plays. I just can’t think right now how I can tell you about it without giving away some really cool ideas!
That’s where David Benioff was really smart, how coolly he brought that character in.
The things I’m thinking about now I don’t want to tell you because the fans will go “Awwww, that’s cool”… Actually some fans might be pissed off but that’s ok. I think they’ll understand why we did it. We took some creative licenses with him."
