No where online has 2025's Energon Universe Special (none I could find at least), so I apologize if these aren't the best I took them via my phone.

I had to post this, I mean look at the art! I love Jazz and is part of the reason I got the cover I did, I mean look! I will be reposting with better quality when I find this online for free, however I'll be sticking with this for now. Anyways enjoy skybound Jazz playing in a band and getting the look from Bluestreak.

Reading Skybounds darker Transformer story with all the G1 designs feels like this:

🛰️ Lore!!!! Here, Satellite Soundwave, was not forged nor constructed cold (not elaborating on that part yet), so he does not have a spark, and he does not naturally have paint like other bots; he was deployed in battle for an experiment (possibly), and he became incredibly good at fighting. So much so, he earned the nickname The Blue Screen of Death (yes I’m taking inspiration from malware stuff for him, this is also relevant for his lore. Yes that’s why the background is blue) because he always came out of battles coated in energon… later on, he’d be given his signature blue paint as sort of a symbol of bloodshed/energonshed 😌 (like how human warriors would wear red)

It is common knowledge the decepticons would fall apart without Soundwave, I wager something funnier, the decepticons would be destroyed completely if Soundwave lost his filter for one day.

It would be like that one Gumball episode where Darwin starts being honest.

Funnily enough Starscream would be fine because that's how their regular conversations go.

i'm a bit behind on the comics, but why did deadpool get his memories wiped?

He killed Coulson on Captain America’s orders. Turned out it wasn’t Steve but his evil doppelganger then Wade had to pretend to work for Hydra in order to protect his daughter. 

Also Wade had made a deal with Stryfe to save Ellie’s life and Stryfe made him kill a bunch of people in return.

Also Madcap was fucking with him.

And after Hydra was beaten, all the other heroes treated Wade like shit and tried to arrest him (even though Thor worked with Hydra to protect Jane just like Wade was protecting Ellie but nobody gave Thor any shit afterwards…).

So, deep in exhaustion and depression, Wade used the drugs Butler had made for him to wipe out the last few years from his memory.

Another thing that has really held up about Duggan’s Deadpool run on a second read is the treatment of continuity, and god, does it hold up. The first time I read it, the only other thing I’d read was (a third of) the Joe Kelly run. Now that I’ve read pretty much every single appearance or mention of Deadpool- including guidebooks and shit, and yeah, that got exhausting- I can confirm that the Duggan run is both extremely accessible to new readers, and extremely rewarding for old/dedicated readers. This is one of those series where you can feel that the creative team actually values and understands the character (as well as the fans).

This run takes the messy pieces of Deadpool’s past and puts them all together in a deeply fulfilling way, both lording over them as the new defining canon and honoring them all as important parts of his life, legacy, and puzzle. It takes previously contradictory elements and respectfully builds bridges, allows for ambiguity where ambiguity is appropriate, while simultaneously leaving us with some long-overdue definitive answers. Duggan takes every other Deadpool series and earnestly builds on them, in many cases improving on their work, but never tearing them down. It links together all of the character traits that were highlighted in different runs, showcasing the bitter wistfulness, danger, and pain of the early 90s, the thoughtfulness of Gail Simone’s Deadpool, the “playful but actually sincere” outcast dynamic, pathos, and humor of Cable & Deadpool, some of the zaniness and desperate self-hatred from the Way era, and the compassion, isolation, and yearning for a family of Uncanny X-Force. The dark and quiet periods, the insecure rambling, the protectiveness toward children and friends, the jokes, the other jokes, the anger, the love, the foolish impulses, the clever solutions, the themes of self-esteem, loneliness, responsibility, and consent: it’s all represented, and it all makes sense. Furthermore, Deadpool is allowed to go new places, to build on himself. He starts defending himself to others more often. Reassesses his priorities. Gets to speak to “god.” Gets to a point where he’s able to start putting a family and life together.

It makes some fairly obscure references to past events, hearkening back to events even outside of his own series such as old Heroes for Hire issues (where he first met Madcap and teamed up with Luke and Danny!), it jokes about old alternate universes like Heroes Reborn, it references important figures like Blind Al and T-Ray where appropriate, it touches on his history as a sexual assault survivor, it pulls his long-lived adoration of Captain America into a solid (and breathtakingly painful) narrative, it follows up the goofy Rhino arc of yesteryear, it mirrors the original “I don’t give up” scene, the throwaway “Remember that thing with zombie Nixon?” line from Uncanny X-Force’s future scene becomes an entire arc to provide said “thing with zombie Nixon,” and so much more, all while introducing these past elements in a totally newcomer-friendly way. It was a full ride the first time, yet everything has taken on new meaning now that I’m reading it again.

"Best” run? I don’t know. That’s hard and also an apples/oranges question in a lot of ways. A fair portion of Deadpool readers I know have a different favorite- there’s always that one character approach that’s a little more in your niche, that one older arc that meant a little more to you, that one dialogue style you prefer. I’m not even entirely positive it’s my own favorite. So much to consider. So many phenomenal scenes from the past.

That being said, this is exactly the sort of series I want to read when I love a character, and exactly the sort of series I want to read, period. It’s also arguably the most complete Deadpool experience, the most “Deadpool” Deadpool series of them all, since it’s such a great intersection of everything else. It’s so defining, explanatory, and emotionally rounded that it serves as a full and satisfying package.

In short, the Deadpool (2012) -> Deadpool (2015) + Uncanny Avengers -> Despicable Deadpool saga was the bomb and if you haven’t read it (which… you probably have if you’re on my blog at this point/bothered reading this post), please do.

Oooooh I think this is actually canonically the first time Deadpool and Madcap meet

Who is the character in orange that you seem to really love ? :3

Oh? Little old me? Lil ol banana trash man?

It’s Madcap, from Marvel comics. A lil bastard who first appeared in the old Captain America comic (for two chapters lol) before hopscotching from series to series, showing up for only a chapter or so at a time until being receiving more attention in the Deadpool comics. Would absolutely recommend checking out the ol Captain America comic (Captain America #307) and the Daredevil one (Daredevil #234), but ignore the Hellrider one, it was garbage ooc~~

Ah, rant over! I’m always so down to chat hmu if anyone’s curious!- Mod Madcap
