Luis Mercado recommends Deadpool's Art of War

This is a very nice 4-issues-story-arc from Marvel! If you’ve read “The Art of War” you’ll find it very amusing. If you’ve never read the book, suffice it to say that it’s basically an abridged version with graphic examples using, in my opinion, the best possible Marvel characters for it. Loki and Thor (before our new Thor, that is who continue their rivalry on a new battle sparked by Deadpool.

Throughout the series Deadpool teaches you the “Art of War” while causing havoc and mayhem, first in Asgard and then in Midgard (Earth), all because he wants to get a book deal for his edition of “The Art of War”.

We get a fun reference to the scene from “Avengers” involving Loki and Hulk (in general if you like to see Hulk smash avengers you can always check these out), which adds really good comic relief.

Even if you’re not a fan of Deadpool, you should still give this comic a try. It’s a short arc, it tells you a lot about the character and you essentially read “The Art of War” along the way. What could be better than that?
