Deadpool & Wolverine: Finally got to see this one and I really enjoyed it. As did I think everyone. It did $1.3 billion worldwide, $636 million in the US alone. You know what you are getting in a Deadpool movie - sarcasm, profanity, LOTS of profanity, the breaking of the third wall and over the top violence. And somehow it really works. I've never read his comics, but I've enjoyed these movies. Add in Wolverine and it feels like these two characters were made to play off each other even though they are opposites. Lots of timeline stuff, Deadpool variants, heroes from the Marvel universe and a ton of great Marvel and Fox superhero references. Felt like 90% of the other characters that show up were leaked or shown on social media within two weeks of the movie's release. I was ready to be "meh" about this movie, but it is funny and it works. They did a great job of making this new and fun. There are many breakdowns of films, but I enjoy New Rockstars and you can find their look at all the details you missed in the film here. And there is so much you'll miss, so it's fun to go back and see the goodies we didn't catch with your first watch.

Deadpool Sport Ball! Set (2019 Upper Deck)
2019 UD Deadpool: I've always liked these cards and picked them up as part of my COMC purchase this year. These are great Deadpool takes on "famous" cards across different sports. '89 UD Nolan Ryan starts us off.
This is an insert set in the 2019 Deadpool set. Here you have the '89 UD Dale Murphy, '92 Upper Deck Shaq and '89 Fleer Billy Ripken.
The backs are simple but the stats and writeup are fun.
'87 Fleer Barry Bonds, 90-91 UD Jaromir Jagr, and 91-92 UD Hockey Pavel Bure.
More fun backs.
'89 UD Mark McGwire, '94 Collector's Choice Jose Canseco and '86 Fleer Mickey Hatcher.
'88 Fleer Tim Flannery and '84 Fleer Jay Johnstone. Just some fun cards. Really glad I picked these up. Luckily, I'd selected these on COMC before pandemic prices made them more expensive.

Deadpool The Movie
Wow June was busy. Here's hoping to getting more posts out in July. I'm two years behind but I finally saw Deadpool. I was never a big fan of the character but Ryan Reynolds' great pub for this film and what he has done since has won me over. This really was a fun movie. The language is a bit overdone but it didn't affect my enjoyment. Ryan Reynolds does an awesome job with this character. While the movie obviously makes fun of itself it really has plenty of laugh out loud moments. This is definitely a different take on the super hero genre and I think it does really well and what they set out to do. I'm looking forward to Deadpool 2 which I've heard from friends is better than this one.
