I've seen a lot of bitching about it but I'll give you my fact free opinion.
It's okay, not corps I haven't read that so I won't comment. Way has a knack for Deadpool Crazy Awesome moments but is spotty with the rest of the writing. So you get these great "OH SHIT!" moments of cool and then a lot of the character stuff and writing isn't that great.
He also tends to write Deadpool as a loser/idiot where as the fun with Kelly was that he wrote him as just insane but fairly competent at killin' folks.

Deadpool Corps is often very funny... but has Rob Liefeld artwork.
I do recommand the Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth series which ended a few months ago and is basically a prequel of it : it's a lot of fun and has great artwork by Bong Dazo. It reminds me of late Cable & Deadpool, when Cable had left the book due to deadness.
Deadpool Team-Up is very hit and miss.
The Wade Wilson's War mini was kinda baffling (it can't possibly be in continuity, even with the Unreliable Narrator shtick), but it had great artwork and was batshit insane.

Which Deadpool title was it where he had to go on a mission to save someone's wife from a town full of zombies? I picked up one issue planning on coming back later to get the next when it came out, but was unable to and lost track of it... it's why I don't buy issues usually...

Maybe Merc with a Mouth ? He spends the latter half of that series in the Zombie Universe "helping" survivors.
Did he carry a zombie Deadpool head with himself ?

^^ I wouldn't know, I only got the first part of the story, where the guy comes up to him and gives him the mission, and then he goes to the town, gets arrested, gets rescued, kills his Psycho for Hire rescuers, and then gets drugged.
It's where I got the quote for Never Hurt an Innocent.

I loved both Joe Kelly and Gail Simone's runs on the 1997 series. And I really liked Cable & Deadpool, too.
Anyway, seeing as how the Merc is trendy now, I've heard there's a bunch of titles starring him at the moment. My question is: are they any good?
The premise of Deadpool Corps interests me the most. But I haven't heard much good about it.
What do you guys recommend, or not recommend?
