#Deadpool vs madcap full#

All of Madcap's friends and family who were on the bus with him were killed, and yet he somehow miraculously survived when the strange AIM chemicals were absorbed into his body. As young man (Madcap's real name remains unknown) was in a bus accident where the vehicle collided with a truck carrying some kind of mysterious liquids created by AIM called Compound X07. The story of Madcap's origin is a fairly typical comic book based one. The character was created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary, and in large part was a character very much like Deadpool before there was an actual Deadpool. He first appeared back in 1985 in issue number 307 of Captain America. It’s fun, it’s well drawn and it’s unpredictable.Well Madcap is one of those fairly obscure Marvel characters that has actually been around quit a long time, but flown mostly under the radar. Both he and Deadpool’s pasts have provided personal experience of the opposite, so it’s prioritising the convenience of the plot above the characters.

While he makes a good case for the dangers of uncontrolled teleportation, the one piece of Shalvey’s story that doesn’t ring true is that somehow it’s a power that’s best left to be exploited by commercial concerns, as decided by Logan. He’s just fine, though, drawing a suitably grizzled Logan and a madcap Deadpool. The script calls for some concealment and deception, which makes it seem as if Henderson’s not the best of artists over the opening chapter when objects appear out of thin air. He also has the courage to be seen as not the artist he might be, which is rare. It sometimes needs a sense of scale and sometimes needs some intimacy, and Henderson’s fine with both.

Henderson’s not an artist afraid of the view from a distance where he has to produce full figures and backgrounds, which is good as the story wouldn’t work without that. In the scheme of things that’s a relatively minor super power, yet time and again Shalvey finds an interesting use. That doesn’t matter as Logan and Deadpool are just the necessary commercial priorities Shalvey uses to investigate the possibilities of someone able to teleport objects. The taciturn and considered Logan can’t put up with Deadpool’s stream of consciousness random nature and attention deficit disorder, so while they’re reluctant partners they’re in conflict, although it’s largely set to bickering level. Starting with a prolonged chase sequence, he evolves the story into something else, and until the final chapter, the ‘vs.’ element of the title comes out in small moments between two naturally opposite characters. Shalvey straddles the fine line between humour and adventure so successfully exploited by Marvel films, as Logan plays the ideal straight man to Deadpool’s unhinged ramblings. Logan suspects their intention is to weaponise her teleporting abilities, and he’s not usually wrong about these things.

A group of heavily armed and armoured corporate mercenaries are on her tail. Logan’s already tracking newly manifested mutant, Maddie, never given a last name, and he’s not the only one. Review by Frank Plowright Spoilers in reviewĭeclan Shalvey has a novel method of beginning the hundred pages of mayhem he and Mike Henderson put together, by having Deadpool and Old Man Logan meet on a New York subway station.
