Nick Klein and Scotty Young join forces to retell the canonical Carnage adventures in a volume published by Panini Comics in the Marvel Deluxe line for the character’s first presentation in a stunning way.
Massacre was born as a successful character in the early nineties by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nizza, and after a significant decline in popularity, it has returned to its peak, thanks mainly to Ryan Reynolds and bringing in this mercenary. to the big screen. With the upcoming release of Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s safe to assume that many readers outside of it will want to meet him in his natural environment, and although the logical thing to do would be to go back to his first adventures, now Panini Comics has published a volume he can publish. Titles Marvel Deluxe serve this purpose well. Scotty Young and Nick Klein Massacre.
Who is the principle with the mouth?
Wade Winston Wilson, better known as Deadpool or Massacre, is the result of a failed scientific experiment. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, he undergoes experiments with the Weapon X program (yes, the same one that Wolverine, Fantomex, and others went through). This way he had an accelerated healing factor that was more powerful than Logan’s, but with a horribly damaged body and an extremely unstable mind.
His military background makes him an expert in many types of hand-to-hand combat and the use of weapons, but this character is undermined by the madness that drives his every move, presented to the reader in the form of a series of breakdowns. The fourth wall, the moments where he speaks directly or makes metatextual references (something that has been very successfully transferred to cinema).
Over the years, Deadpool has teamed up with heroes such as Spider-Man or Cable, as well as various groups such as X-Men and Avengers, but his nature has always prevented him from being in serious stories or going beyond the past. . Despite everything, this has never been a problem for the character’s success at the highest level today.
Adventures through the Marvel Universe
Deadpool is more than just an established character when Scotty Young, best known for his work on superhero baby bobblehead covers or his successful series I Hate Fairyland, takes over this series. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone to see Guardians of the Galaxy (Young directed the Rocket Raccoon series in the recent past) and Negasonic accompany Teenage Warhead. Also, if we consider that the memory has been erased recently, this is as good a starting point as any.
After opening a rental beach bar in a small residential mall on the outskirts of New York, he must face his first big threat in this volume: Grof, a planet-destroying space god. Success in a mission that no one is above Wade’s level gives him many new tasks. Among them, it’s worth highlighting the one that faces none other than the f%&o Santa Claus, without missing the part where he faces a bunch of talking stuffed animals…
The detective with a mouth will also have time to get out of his comfort zone and enter the atmosphere of sophistication and sophistication that surrounds the stories of Jessica Jones, who goes to find out who stole Wade’s heart. Literally. And we see him participating in the famous Asgardian Battle of the Realms event.
But perhaps the most notable point of this volume is the Goodnight story, an undisguised version of Batman that Wade weighs in on. As a child, he witnessed his parents being killed by criminals, which left a deep impression on him and motivated him to seek revenge and prevent others from suffering the same fate. Ironically, Wade himself is indirectly responsible for the death of his parents…
A perfect voice to approach Deadpool
In the graphic department, Nick Klein and Scott Hepburn do a very good job with the tone of Young’s stories, we bring out the bad temper and dirty hooliganism that suits them. This is the icing on the cake that works wonderfully as a first introduction to the character.
And the voice is an ideal choice for those who want to approach Deadpool for the first time. It retains all the qualities that made Young Mer infamous: its irreverent humor, its constant breaking of the fourth wall, and its tendency to mix the absurd with its hero, delivered in an approachable and effortless manner. In-depth knowledge of the character’s past, making it the perfect entry point. Another great advantage of this tome is that it doesn’t require prior knowledge of the character’s extensive and sometimes complicated backstory. In short, a perfect comic for those who only know Reynolds’ version of the character…
Published by Panini Comics in hardcover, the volume contains 384 color pages measuring 17 x 26 cm. And the American edition includes a translation of the 15 issues of the regular Deadpool series, in addition to the covers of all the issues included, an introduction by Bruno Orive, and a section at the end with additional material and alternate covers. The recommended retail price is €44 and it goes on sale in June 2024.
