The Mind, The Loss, The Inevitable
Absolute Carnage vs Deadpool #1 honestly got me at loss for words. I literally clung onto my head-wrap yelling: “Wade, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” In which I realized, yeah you can love someone and absolutely be taken aback by their actions. The Tieri-Ferreira-Poggi team really knows how to capture a DP fan. If I wanted to put someone onto Deadpool comics, this would be one of my introductory choices. In Carnage vs Deadpool #1 we get the chaotic side of Wade where it’s so funny it’s absolutely nuts.
We get the Spidey and Deadpool duo swinging throughout the city and of course something goes wrong. This time it is purely Wade’s fault. You would think as partners in look-a-like super-suits that they would have an emotional connection so strong where your partner wouldn’t summon all of your enemies all at once and have them chase you down the city. Honestly this sends Spider man off edge (and rightfully so, because you can’t be out here running from ALL of your enemies). Spidey pushes Deadpool to get himself checked out and honestly this is where hell begins to reveal itself panel by panel.
This is where I realized that our Merc with a Mouth had much to lose…with a risk of nothing to gain
Deadpool walks into a mental hospital looking for recovery but instead he is runs into his destructive past. When poison taints your body, a layer of protection is created to keep it from taking over again. In some cases, it lingers, and much like what he did to Spiderman in the earliest part of the comic, it often comes flooding. In Absolute Carnage vs Deadpool #1 I learned that karma never fails and that the only way to protect yourself from poison, is to allow it to run its course and take it head on. The creative team gave this comic a cinematic feel with deep sharp cuts and even wittier clap-backs. With this, unfortunately it can be easy for readers to get lost towards the middle. The scenes reveal like a horror film. Releasing surprise after surprise, so it will be a fun read if you pay close attention.
What I hope to see in future issues is a better handle on the cuts as well as bumping up Deadpool’s intention. This would be a perfect time for the creative team to take advantage of the ideologies behind mental health, Deadpool’s instability and carefully construct a metaphorical representation of what it feels like to be consistently at war with something that made a home inside of you. (This plus avoiding the stereotypes of mental instabilities to not come across as insensitive, because mental health has so many more layers than just pain and hurting people you love, but I digress).

Former President Obama has blessed us with the music playlist that he and Michelle have been grooving to all summer.
The eclectic list of 44 songs includes “some new, some old, some fast, some slow,” Obama said in a tweet announcing the list.
The playlist release has become somewhat of an annual tradition from the former president.
The list included the likes of John Legend, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, Maggie Rogers, H.E.R, Daniel Caeser, Beyonce, Childish Gambino and many more.
And it was the response of some of the artists on the list that had us rolling. Many couldn’t believe they were even in the purview of the former first couple.
I’M NOT OKAY,” Lizzo responded to news that her song “Juice” had made the list.
“Wow!!! Gratitude really is a must,” Jamaican star Koffee said in response to her hit “Toast”.

There’s no shortage of news coming out of the D23 Expo, but we’re pretty excited about the first image from Disney’s upcoming Cruella. Emma Stone will play a young version of the villainous fur enthusiast from 101 Dalmatians in the upcoming origin story. Stone takes over for Glenn Close, who previously played the role in the 1996 live action film.
Here’s your first look at Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil in Disney's Cruella. The film, also starring Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Joel Fry, comes to theaters May 28, 2021. #D23Expo pic.twitter.com/KqxJ0yMYQ3

The film follows young Cruella as she makes her way through London during the punk scene of the 1970s. The film also stars Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry, and is directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya). A shameless cash grab from Disney? Surely. But Stone is rocking that wig.

MOVIE NIGHT FAIL: A movie night under the stars took a turn in Denver, Colorado on Saturday. Air mattresses laid out for ticket holders blew away in a strong wind. According to Robb Manes, who shot the video, the blow-up beds were on the loose for about 30 minutes. 😂 pic.twitter.com/MpQKa7yob6
