My Thoughts:
So this is a going to be a quick review. I just saw this was when I was browsing at the library and went: Ah, why not?
So Deadpool the Duck follows Deadpool and Howard the Duck and they accidentally get fused into the same body… and of course hijinks and shenanigans happen because of course it is! It’s Deadpool related! Oh and they also have to save Rocket the Raccoon from space rabies.
There are a few things I liked about this. Most of the jokes did land and I bursted out laughing a few times while reading this. It was also very witty. And both characters being able to break the fourth wall just added to the humor.
Also Doctor Bong was hilarious in this graphic novel, and was an entertaining villain for our heroes to face.
If I have one major flaw with this short graphic novel is that Mary and her mother subplot wasn’t that interesting. It just kind of made me yawn.
And most of the time Rocket was just kind of there.
Overall, I’d recommend it if you want to have something you want to finish reading in an hour and have a few good laughs from it. If you are looking for something deeper… it’s best to look elsewhere.
