How to Start Reading DEADPOOL COMICS

[@rishonathan.9439]

Xavier says "Deadpool" 73 times and "DP" once.

I'd really like to see this "How to start Reading" thing become a series where Xavier just talks about certain books/characters and why he likes them.

[@TheGojiShay]

I very strongly second this.

[@Airlesscanvass28]

If the video got more popular he'd probably do more.

[@rosepinkink3138]

Heads up y’all Next video is another one of these 🤫

[@DeadpoolX20]

I Would love for him to do one of these with Moon Knight and Punisher

[@camgrealis7041]

Please do more videos like this!! I’ve been getting into comics for the past year and I’d love more guides for characters like Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, etc…

[@Anarchomancer]

Hell, I'd like him to make one for Spider-Man. He's had so many runs and characterisations throughout the years and l would like to see Xavier's take on some.

[@equinox6690]

For moon knight, bad moon rising is a good start, then I’d check out the Micheal bendis run on the character

[@equinox6690]

For strange if you’re interested in origins check out doctor strange master of the mystic arts, if you’re looking for good and interesting characterization ; look for doctor strange damnation

[@buhnana6117]

@@Anarchomancer you should start out with Ultimate Spider-Man by Mark Bagley and Brian Michael Bendis. Classic run.

[@Anarchomancer]

@@buhnana6117 Oh, I've read it. Back when Bendis' writing used to be intelligible. But no, I was referring to 616 Spidey.

[@bullymaguire7693]

i have to say, while the “blind al being a hostage” thing seems interesting, i can’t help but also like the constant budding heads with blind al and dp from the movies

[@simoneidson21]

The original Kelly run has a Deadpool that’s just a little too evil for me to really like

[@lili_yaps]

Don’t worry, they still butt heads when she’s a hostage. She even says she regularly doses his food with laxatives!

[@comixproviderftw_02]

I got into him thanks to the Hulk vs Wolverine movie, where he immediately stole the show and hearts of fans. Also his appearance in Marvel VS Capcom 3. I was REEEEALLY into the Deadpool hype of the early 2010’s and his presence in internet culture and the many, many, memes and cosplays that came with it. Also, I read the Daniel Way run, which doesn’t best represents him to some people. Nice to finally see a structure guide on his history. 9:46 Man, forget Tom Cruise being Superior Iron Man in Doctor Strange 2, I wanna see this variant!

[@nibbanibba5064]

Same

[@Comicbroe405]

Dude.. Same here. H vs W was how I discovered the character too.

[@gumundureyorarnfinnsson4212]

Same here tho i first thought he was a evil spider man when i first saw the film as a kid

[@Flungz_99]

Ultimate Alliance was mine. John Kassir is criminally underrated.

[@Flungz_99]

Too bad his hype and popularity was synonymous with his bastardization. Worst part of the 2010s tbh. The casuals thought he was a memey quagmire with no substance.

[@alirwec]

here's that list in the beginning, just in case: Deadpool Vol. 1 (BEST): #1-7 Deadpool/Death '98 special issue: #8-33 & #46-69 Agent X (spin off, but important): #1-15 Cable & Deadpool (Pretty awesome): #1-50 Deadpool Vol. 3: Annual #1 Wolverine Origins: #20-25 Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth (super awesome short story, reading Marvel zombies 3 recommended first): #1-13 Deadpool Vol. 2 (skirts the line of "Memepool" a few times, but generally okay): #1-63 Deadpool Vol. 3 (Character redefining, very solid): #1-45

[@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley]

It is criminal not to mention Remender's run X-Force, which featured Deadpool as one of the memebers. While not central, Deadpool serves as the emotinal tie in the group, solidifying one of the greatest runs on the team.

[@tomjames9681]

I just like it whenever Xavier talks about characters he’s followed for a while. He always comes across as knowing a lot about them. That Lizard vid is one of my favourites. Looking forward to a video on the recent part of the spider man run.

[@cowboy7597]

My favorite story is Gerry Duggan’s run because I just love the concept of it. I love the take on making him a “sad clown”, and stripping away everything he’s built for himself seems oddly poetic

[@jaytheartman610]

A video like this on Venom would be great. Seeing how he evolved since his first appearance all the way until now

[@scarletspider5850]

THANK YOU! I knew a bit of Deadpool's meta history, and the stuff you get from superhero encyclopedias, but I've never had the confidence to actually read the books, so thank you for giving me that.

[@alimowla3204]

these kind of videos of yours are some of my favorites, like the moon knight (how to make a tv show) and punisher (how how the show got him wrong) videos, just you spending a lot of time talking about the source material, with all the neat information and trivia, it's cool, so yea, i'd absolutely like to see more of these videos.

[@muttjones222]

I got into Deadpool back in middle school thanks to my best friend. It was around the Daniel Way run and we were also the kind of guys who wore those Hot Topic Deadpool T-shirts. I’m not the biggest fan of that run anymore but it still has some nostalgic value to me. Plus, the lead up to the Deadpool movie coming out was one of the most hype my friends and I ever got for a movie and it lived up to it. One of my favorite theater-going experiences I’ve ever had. Great video! Make more of these!

[@blingiman]

Love this video template. I feel moon knight would be a great one to cover as there's so many different runs and reinventions that it can get a little overwhelming for newcomers to know where to start

[@darkknightszy4674]

PLEASE do more vids like this, with whatever character/team/etc. you’d like to talk about. This is very enjoyable!

[@morganweinstock167]

I’d definitely love to see your recommendations for other character runs, this video was really insightful and helpful!

[@shinyocelot04archive]

I just wanted to leave this here to thank people like you who helped me truly understand Deadpool thanks to these stories. My introduction to the character were trailers for the movie and memepool slop at my local Hot Topic, so my expectations weren't very high when trying to read up about the character. Joe Kelly's run has been surprisingly fun so far, and I hope more Deadpool stuff goes back to the sincerity that made him so appealing, rather than memes and one liners.

[@345optimusprime]

Now he needs to make a Spider-man and Venom reading guide or possibly Moon Knight.

[@marshallhorton7154]

But there's a problem, I can't read

[@fearvlaire5399]

I think you should do a lot of these? I like hearing your reading order and recommendations

[@matthewgee1030]

0:13 I got that same list when I asked you on Twitter where to start. It was a big help!

[@dnaofthesoul1420]

Seeing as you were the youtube channel that made me start reading comics It would be awesome to see you make more guides like this one. Comics are confusing as hell but you always make them appealing for some reason.

[@kamix2.093]

So since Xavier kinda asked I ran the numbers, and counted all of the times he said Deadpool. The total number, considering all the times he said "deadpool", is 61, if you consider the time he said "memepool" the number goes to 62, and if you consider the times that ryan reynolds said "deadpool" the number goes to 63. So total number is 61.

[@erik4099]

I counted 68

[@kamix2.093]

@@erik4099 ok

[@contrabandresearch8409]

When I was a kid, I had a subscription to Deadpool. It ended around issue 20. And a while later, I looked up what was going on with Deadpool and found out it was ending! So I had my dad take me to the comic shop to get that final issue. I was completely blown away the manga style art. 11:49 And then, blast from the past, Agent X!

[@AsianSpycrab]

I got into his comics about two weeks ago, currently reading the 2008 run by Daniel Way, so this video came out at the perfect time for me!

[@AlexHolmes.]

11:03 first deadpool comic I ever read! I remember seeing it in a bookstore when I was like 14 & it meant everything to me for like 2 weeks for some reason

[@TinTester3911]

Please do more videos like this. It'd be nice to get some good reading recommendations for characters, especially characters on the obscure end that are now getting more mainstream attention like Moon Knight.

[@TylerAStinson]

Dude do a reading guide for Blade. He’s my favorite marvel character

[@Ben10man2]

There's like five Blade books period lol, you can't make a guide from that

[@kadegetslaid634]

Hes an obscure ass comic character, not many comics, and they're not amazing

[@Fryfly111]

Deadpool that kinda guy who snores like this "wee wee wee" ☠️☠️

[@johndogscorner9631]

Ngl, I think this is a really neat subgenre of videos you could focus on and if that is your intention I eagerly await whatever characters you focus on next. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Couch_Banana]

Great video! As for other characters, I'd personally like to see a video on Ghost Rider done in this style.

[@jakobthedragonboy]

Deadpool Art of War, it features my ALLTIME favorite 2 pages featuring/about DP in which DP goes from passive observer to full force of nature with Captain America himself saying *"but I almost feel sorry for the other side."*

[@kadegetslaid634]

I just read it in the minibus vol 2, my first deadpool comic lol, it was amazing

[@MJ-zl3vo]

Deadpool was said by Xavier 78 times Deadpool was said by Ryan Renolds 3 times Deadpool's nicknames like DP, Wade and Memepool were said three times by Xavier

[@handoffate7262]

You should do more videos like this. Not only does it help out the viewers who are looking to get into comics but for those of us who already love them it would offer us a chance to see what some of your favorite stories for certain titles are. It would be neat to hear what Spider-Man stories are your favorite, specifically ultimate. This could also offer you an opportunity to bring to light some of the titles you don’t often get to talk about. I feel like most of the stuff I read/watch is older very familiar content for me and most of the newer stuff check out is cause it gets recommended to me on this channel.

[@someonewhocommentsonyoutub3779]

I don't even like Deadpool and this was an engaging and enjoyable time, you should definitely do more of these with your other favorite characters.

[@SharpestSniper99]

This was a super cool video Xavier! If you made another video like this one I would be absolutely stoked to watch it! (Maybe a video like this for moon knight…and maybe Venom if only because his solo movies are largely pretty mixed with the public reception)

[@constructivecriticism2568]

This was pretty fun. I’d absolutely watch more of these for characters like The Punisher, Venom, or Wolverine.

[@nibbanibba5064]

If it’s Punisher then here’s my order that I’d suggest Punisher born Welcome back Frank Punisher max 1-60 Punisher max complete collection 5 (very fun and good but optional) PunisherMax 1-22 or the complete collection volume 7 I have not read complete collection 6 but I heard it’s alright, cost is a bitch though as some volumes are out of print If you want to have it be shorter then here Punisher born Punisher max vol.1 complete collection Punisher max vol.2 complete collection Punisher max vol. 3 complete collection Punisher max vol.4 complete collection

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

Got into him around 2013 or 2014. I remember when I saw the test footage for the movie and was so hyped since I'd been loving the comics. Deadpool has so many great comic runs. I started with the marvel now era deadpool dead presidents and then the run where he has the evil clone. After that i read a bunch more marvel now and then got into the original deadpool run. I've loved every bit of ive read other runs but it's been a long time so i form remember the names and such

[@Punk-Mask]

This is a great segment and something that is sorely missed on KZbin. Hope you keep doing these!

[@user-uj8ty6hj2f]

[@alexanderdixson9956]

I want to see a new Deadpool story where his face and tumors permanently healed, his cancer gone, and his mind healed and the memories of his true origins and purpose restored, and he still retains his healing factor and his personal life and mercenary career as wade wilson before the weapon X program

[@globesnow6377]

“his backstory is multiple choice” that’s actually funny asf

[@RammaSten]

Maybe not an essential read, since it's not super focused on Deadpool (he's just a member of the team)... But Uncanny X-Force is a really great read as well. One of my favorite comic book runs, that feature Deadpool in it

[@prowlasage]

More videos like these please it really helps and I know it probably won’t get the most views but it’s always a helpful guide. Keep up the great work

the last run w/ kelly thompson had so much potential, it honestly sucks deadpool's book got canceled just before his 30th anniversary in favor of a really mid one shot.

[@dockingtwo3403]

I think it would be cool to see a video like this on Moon Knight. I just started reading his original run and would love to know what you consider to be essential reading for that character

[@Deadpool3E]

Actually, hold on! During his time with the Mercs for Hire, Wade met NTW after she was revived for unknown reasons. He was hired to take her to an evil company's facility before freeing her after realizing the scheme. She was pivotal in saving the mutants from a war against them and the Inhumans. She returned for a brief stint as a secretary shortly after Deadpool had his memories wiped, but it was only for a handful of issues. As for the Mephisto thing, that was actually part of his crossover between him and Spider-Man. It started as more of a side story to Deadpool's main series before it's popularity became a hyped focus from 2018-2020.
