But to be fair - I haven't read many. However, that may just speak volumes for Cable & Deadpool, because even as a non-comic-fan I have been captivated by this series. It manages to integrate the incredulity of Marvel superheroes with the everyday world in a way that is both fun and thought-provoking. Through Deadpool, who is infamous for breaking the fourth wall, the writer takes pot-shots at many different aspects of society and culture - from the Olsen Twins to Fox News. It also raises a number of philosophical questions, such as whether or not human nature can ever be reconciled with the concept of world peace. The writing is brilliant, the artwork is excellent, and both the individual story arcs as well as the general dynamic between these two opposites makes for a fantastic read.

This book was amazing; an excellent combination of sarcasm, action, suspense, and drama. The storyline can be a bit confusing if you haven't already read the very first book, "If Looks Could Kill", so I recommend reading that first. The artwork is superb, bringing the plot and dialogue to life. Deadpool is his usual sarcastic-insane-doesn't-know-when-to-shut-up mercenary self while Cable provides a more serious side to the story. With guest appearances from the X-men and the Silver Surfer, you just have to know that it doesn't get any better than this.
