Black and Blue is a bit of a patched up trade, collecting #27-28 and #35-36 of Jaime’s solo series alongside most of the back-up strip which ran in Booster Gold. Understandably this could lead to the stories contained feeling disjointed, but instead a decent little trade is made which wraps up Jaime’s solo story from his series. Is this one for Jaime fans only though, or is it accessible to anyone?

Collecting the five issue mini by Benson, Suicide Kings sees Deadpool framed for a crime he didn’t commit, which lands him in a whole world of trouble. It’s up to the Merc with the Mouth to try and clear his name – whilst the likes of Daredevil, the Punisher and Spider-Man are out to apprehend or brandish their own forms of justice against him. Wrapping this up is the one shot issue Games of Death, which sees Deadpool go undercover on a reality TV game show that has been banned all around the world.

Is this a worthwhile trade to pick up, or is it another pointless Deadpool spin-off book?
