Could someone be targeting all of Marvel’s funniest characters for death?

My Thoughts:
So Deadpool gathers the most comedic characters in the Marvel Universe together to a secluded mansion just to get a photo for christmas… even though it was summer. And while has all these characters together one gets murdered and the rest of the book is our merc with a mouth figuring out who killed Forbush Man.
First thing I did like about this is that it did gather the comedic characters in the Marvel Universe: Squirrel Girl, Groot and Rocket Racoon (my favourite Guardians of the Galaxy pairing), Spider-Ham. And they were a few good jokes that went on the book. I actually enjoyed the Squirrel Girl and Deadpool dynamic. I also liked the interactions between Dr. Strange and Deadpool in this graphic novel.
Also Squirrelpool? I can’t believe they did this in this graphic novel!
However I have issues that drag this graphic novel down for me. The first is for two of the characters: Forbush Man and Shiklah (Deadpool’s “Wife”). I had no idea who these two characters are. So when Forbush Man gets killed off, I didn’t feel anything because I didn’t know anything about this character.
Lastly the Christmas issue at the end felt like it should have been part of another book and not this book. It felt out of place compared to the rest of the story.
Overall, Deadpool: Too Soon? is a nice short read. But I would only recommend it if you are a die-hard Deadpool fan.
