2015 Review Round-Up: Graphic Novel: Deadpool's Art of War, Peter David & Scott Koblish

Deadpool's Art of War
Peter David & Scott Koblish
ISBN: 9780785190974
Gleefully irreverent take on the Art of War, featuring the best 4th-wall-shattering disfigured merc.
Read July 2015


Deadpool is bored, and he's broke.  He wants to make some money, so he needs to write a book.  What better book could there be for this violent modern world than a guide to the best warfare manual ever written, the epic and detailed Art of War?  In the process of writing, of course he has to see if the tips actually WORK, so he's drafted Loki (old-school Loki, thank you very much) to be the guinea pig who follows Deadpool's directions.  That goes about as well as any plan involving Deadpool and Loki, and the world is summarily engulfed in mayhem and violence, with Deadpool floundering along trying to take back the reins of his headstrong manuscript before it puts someone's eye out.
