Ross (3284 KP) rated Cable & Deadpool Vol. 1: If Looks Could Kill in Books

Good Cable book, not so much Deadpool

Note that this is "Cable & Deadpool", NOT the other way round. This is first and foremost a Cable book, with Deadpool along for the ride. Deadpool is hired to help a strange French religious sect steal a virus that changes how people look - they want everyone in the world to look the same - blue. It starts off as a decent irreverent Deadpool story but once Cable gets embroiled it all gets more serious. There are fun moments, such as when the stars have to share their DNA in order to recover from the virus (which all gets a bit pseudo-science mumbo jumboey) with quite amusing results.
This is far from Deadpool at his best, but it is still enjoyable.

So, I started this book around Christmas and am just now finishing it. I think that was a result not so much of the book itself - it wasn't poorly written or anything, I just kept picking up other books instead. Overall, it was a nice, fluffy, cozy mystery that I probably would have enjoyed more if I had read the whole thing at Christmastime. Yes, there were a lot of religious undertones, but I sort of expected that with a Christmas book. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a book to get into the Chistmas mood.

*Although I did receive this book for free through Goodreads First Reads, all of my thoughts and opinions are my own.
