Mixed Feelings
Before I read the first volume, I was excited to check it out, a Marvel x Jump manga with All might as a cameo? That sounds good.. but unfortunately, when I finished it, I was left feeling underwhelmed.

So one of Deadpool: Samurai's characteristics is obviously its comedy. Breaking the fourth wall, meta and unconventional jokes, deconstructing tropes, etc. But that's it. There's no other thing going for it: no interesting story or characters and anti-climatic action sequences. I get that it's making fun of tropes and that the story is pratically non-existant, because it's a comedy, but when your shtick is making fun of something and doing cameos althroughout the story, 1. the story falls flat without any balance and becomes one-dimensional and 2. it becomes its own trope, so in other words: making fun of tropes becomes the trope of the story and when it repeats it all the time. it becomes boring and predictable. So basically, it's on the same level as a generic fantasy/isekai story except that Deadpool is self-aware of tropes, but isn't aware of its self-awareness if that makes any sense. Also, I'm pretty sure Thanos, the Avengers and All Might were just thrown in there just to say that they were in the story.

To finish it off, don't take this review too seriously, Deadpool Samurai is meant to be stupid and funny, it's just that I don't think it's that good of a story.

So that's why I think Deadpool Samurai is a You're not going to die if you don't read it/10
