Usual Suspect

This is a mini-series in four episodes created in 2010 by writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Jason Pearson. It is supposed to reveal, through an ultra-violent spy story, the origins of Deadpool ...

This reading is ideal for anyone wanting to know "the anti superhero" most caustic of the Marvel Universe. Beyond the story of its origins, which can not be taken at face value since we are told by the character himself, one finds here everything that its mythological integrity: his pathological liar and schizophrenic madness, his clown attitude uninhibited, his habit to speak directly to the reader (Deadpool is the only figure in his world to be aware that she is in a comic strip) and a sense of total mockery by systematically switching events in the most absurd burlesque .

The scenario is particularly well built. We think very quickly to the movie "Usual suspects" because of the way the unfolding of the narrative is complex and anti-linear: it is punctuated by flashbacks, culminates in a stunning twist and leaves the reader in doubt as to everything which was told her! The character of Deadpool becomes unbridled version of that of Kevin Spacey in the film, and interrogation takes surreal ways soaring!
The design fits perfectly with the subject: A rough line, sometimes realistic, sometimes caricatured, we think the line Vertigo and adult creations, all sprinkled with humor and second degree.

Best of all, this burlesque and corrosive fable is an opportunity for its creators to reinvent the story of the origins of a superhero. This genre of its own, which is among the great classics of the medium, then has a new light and becomes an opportunity to take down the boundary between the work of the reader. Deadpool conscious of being in a cartoon, it mocks the very mechanisms of superhero comics, not without punctuate his version of humorous references to American popular culture.
The result is a particularly successful mixture of comic both funny and reflective, both ultra-violent and harmless, referential and original.
And cherry on the icing, unleashed see Deadpool teaming with "Bullseye" coasting, it can not refuse!
