Review: "Deadpool & The Mercs For Money" #4

You have to give the creative team behind Deadpool & The Mercs For Money a lot of credit for the work they've been doing over these four issues so far. A big part of it is their ability to make the comic flow smoothly and effortlessly on the surface when it's really their attention to small details that lays the groundwork here.

Writer Cullen Bunn's dialogues are spot-on, with humor that hardly ever feels forced or artificial, while artist Salva Espin's inks and Guru-eFX's colors are tremendously meticulous while never giving up their bright playfulness. The series' abundantly large cast of (sometimes too) similar characters has grown even more in this one, but we're at a point now where it's the abundance itself that forms a big part of the joke.

Deadpool & The Mercs For Money continues to play to its strengths while offering a lot more if you just look hard enough. And yes, some Spanish would definitely help as well.

8/10
