Deadpool#17: Daniel Way's hilarious insanity continues it's streak of comedic gold on the newest arc in which our resident Merc with a Mouth joins the X-Men. Yes, that's right, he joins the X-Men. Deadpool, along with Spider-Man, and the Bendis tales, is one of the few titles to greatly benefit from Dark Reign. Now, personally, I've enjoyed the events and Dark Reign has been one of the more interesting events of the last few years, yet even I have to say that there has been an over saturation of tie-ins. Deadpool's run in with Hawkeye (formally Bullseye) was easily the funniest thing I'd read in months. While the current arc is still quite funny, unfortunately it pales in comparison to the past arc. Still, it's worth reading for the exasperation Deadpool is always able inflict on the X-Men.
