Deadpool Classic volume 2 includes arguably some of the best issues of Deadpool. A great read and a nice place to start for new readers. Joe Kelly is considered by many fans as the best Deadpool writer. During his run (Issues 1-33) he gave the character greater depth pushing Deadpool to question his place in the world. Plus he nails the pop culture references and black comedy. This book collects Deadpool 2-8 (Issue 1 was collected in Deadpool Classic volume 1) , Deadpool -1, and the Deadpool/Daredevil 1997 Annual.
Simply put, Deadpool 2-8 is excellent. During these issues Wade Wilson faces his Weapon X burdens, rival T-Ray, and his failing healing factor. On the advice of Siryn, LL&L, and Blind Al he begins to question his actions and adopts a more heroic nature which he must truly confront when Typhoid Mary enters his life. Memorable fights with the Hulk and Taskmaster also occur in this collection.
Deadpool minus 1 gives us an insight into the life of Wade Wilson before he became Deadpool, despite the man himself not featuring much in the issue at all. Instead the story focus' around Vanessa Carlysle/Copycat and Zoe Culloden from LL&L (the latter feauturing prominently in later Deadpool issues.) An enjoyable story which allows you to sympathise with what Deadpool has endured.
Along with issue 4, the Deadpool/Daredevil Annual is the highlight of this collection. And in my opinion the book is worth buying for the annual alone. Exceptional writing, faultless art, and the unlikely team-up of Matt Murdock and Wade Wilson is hilarious.
The only fault is that Issue 2 is printed quite dark and the text is a little blurry in some places. It is still very readable but is noticeable compared to the rest of the book.
