You gotta hand it to a writer who can formulate a story of the main character (Deadpool), who talks to his own brain and his brain (as a separate entity) talks back . It's a crazy set up, but the Deadpool arc is blast! Funny, bizarre dialogue mixing up with some action. It's a class act. The art is good because it caricatures the story, so it's not uber realistic art, but I mean lets face it it is a comic...with some completely unreal situations. So Paco Medina's art suits the story very well.
I always thought a good story would be having two psychopaths duke it out. From my memory not many books/comics/movies have done this but Daniel Way is topping it all by having a somewhat unstable goodguy (kinda) like Deadpool match up against a unstable bad guy (very much so) Bullseye. It's a psychotic, psychodrama with some of the most unique out there dialogue you'll see in a comic.
Memorable sequences? There are so many. But watch for Deadpool with an arrow in his head picking up a 'Dr Feelgood' radio talk back help line and Deadpool tries to talk back, as he hears the radio host attempt to help a caller (obviously not Deadpool). Funny stuff.
Way's Deadpool is one of the best reads of 2009.
