If you haven’t noticed as yet Cable #25 is actually Deadpool and Cable #25. The title isn’t the only thing that they’ve changed, we see a new story writer as well as an arter, wait… artist! Duane Swierczynski being the story writer and Paco Medina being the artist. They bring together something really special in this issue, making it a really fun to read comic.
Story: Duane Swierczynski does a good job with this one, a really good job I must say. Surprised? Absolutely! This issue is an absolutely hysterical issue and can it not be with Deadpool around? This is probably one of the funniest comics I’ve read in a long, long time. Swierczynski has done what many people fail to do, bring humour to Deadpool’s character and do it well. Cable is his stern old self which brings some sanity to this issue. The only qualm I have with this issue is that there is no concrete story line in this whole issue and humour takes center stage with the issue ending on a bit of a serious note.
Art: In short, I would love to see more of Paco Medina. You’ll probably remember him from the “New X-men” issues. He not only does fine job in this issue, he nails it. He goes with the flow of the story line and keeps up the tempo. He’s very vibrant with his work if you’ve noticed. He gives the whole issue a very vivacious and spirited feel making the comic an enjoyable one to read.
Overall: You wouldn’t want to miss out on one of the very few comics that I actually found funny. Duane Swierczynski and Paco Medina do a fine job as a pair and brought out the best in themselves. As I said, Duane Swierczynski surprised me and it was a pleasant one at that. This book is wonderful if you want to get de-stressed. Go grab yourself a copy of this issue, sit back and enjoy yourself. If you’re a Cable fan, this is one book you’ll want to keep in your collection.
