I Killed Deadpool.

What's up everyone, it's time for my quarterly post on Fandads! Seriously though, I've got to get on here more often.

So does anyone remember the Choose Your Own Adventure series? I loved those books, even though more than a couple of them gave me nightmares. Some of them were seriously messed up, but don't worry this isn't another article about the top 9 craziest CYOA stories or 12 CYOA books that ruined my childhood.

The Cave of Time

No this post is more of a confession. Apologies to Marvel Fans everywhere, and Ryan Reynolds for messing up his sweet gig, but yeah I messed up and got Deadpool killed. Let me explain. Recently Marvel published a short five issue mini-series called You Are Deadpool. 

Wait, I thought I was Groot?

I usually have anything Deadpool related in my pullbox so I ended up getting this series as well. As can be expected there's the usual Deadpool humor and violence but with a fun twist. Just like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books, these comics allow you to choose what happens next. They also include RPG elements such as stats, acquiring weapons and/or items, and dice rolling. It would probably help to have a notebook and some dice handy but I managed to do without. I played pretty fairly, and honestly gave myself some bad outcomes.

Which brings me to my confession...I managed to get Deadpool killed. Dead. Done. Finito.

SPOILER ALERT!!

In issue 4 (which I got to jump to straight from issue 1) I made a series of decisions which led me to getting killed by Bullseye. (in a very familiar way) According to Deadpool it's canon and thus I'm not allowed to read anything with Deadpool anymore. I believe Wade said there were no take backs so yeah. Sorry everyone.

END OF SPOILER

Well, I always try to look at the bright side of things so at the very least I'll have more time and money to spend on the real deal Choose Your Own Adventure books. As I bounced around the web thinking about what I was going to write I came across their website. (Chooseco LLC btw, they used to be Bantam Books right?) I took a look and ended up ordering a set of the classics to read with my kids, and some Unicorn one that my kids will go nuts for. I think they're old enough to have their minds warped enjoy them as I did as a child, so many moons ago.

So there you have it, the TL;DR version is Deadpool's loss is my family's gain!

Until next time...if you choose to leave the UFO turn to page 23, if you try to fly it turn to page 45.

(Joke's on you, you crash and burn either way)

We saw DEADPOOL and here is our review!

So it is no surprise that DEADPOOL is coming to the theaters in a week. I mean if you have not seen the posters, commercials, or online videos then you obviously have not been paying attention and I would be on the look out that DEADPOOL doesn't get you for not noticing his ads.

Thanks to the fine folks at Fox, the Fandads were able to attend an early screening of the movie and instead of telling you about how fantastic it was, we have decided to give you a list of why you will enjoy watching the movie. So sit back, grab your loved one and read our 10 reasons why you'll love DEADPOOL.

This month's subscription boxes.

Out of the few "Geek" subscription boxes that are out there, we here at Fandads have subscribed to LootCrate and NerdBlock.  In today's post we will share with you the latest boxes that came in. Take a peek, enjoy and maybe sign up for one or both of them.

(This is not a paid post.  The Fandads have paid subscriptions and we just want to share some awesomeness with our friends.)

T-Shirt Thursday!

Todays shirt actually came in the mail from our friends at LootCrate. Lately they have been having some cool shirts in their crates (Deadpool Kool-Aid) and this one goes great with out recent "Brew Over Ice" posts and giveaway.  Being fathers and gamers we need all the energy we can get to get us through the day and you know that sleep is something that we can only dream of.  This shirt was included in this month's crate thanks to ShirtWoot! and can be purchased on their site for $18.

T-Shirt Thursday!

How do you start a new segment and miss it the following week?  Well, we here at Fandads are guilty of doing that, so to make up for our error we have two shirts to share with you today.  The first shirt we got through LootCrate and it was part of the June crate. Don't know what LootCrate is?  Just click the link to go to their site and sign up to get a box of awesome sent to you every month.  Every now and then they have a surplus sale and maybe this shirt will be available again soon.

The second shirt we are sharing is from ShirtPunch and it combines two of our favorite things: Star Wars and The Walking Dead. This shirt is a great ode to Michonne and her pets which are here in robot form.  Unfortunately this shirt is not available anymore, but sign up for their daily e-mails to see the awesome shirts they have available that day and at $10 each, it's a steal!

Comics!

It's Wednesday and you know what that means! Comic book day! I've been really bad about updating, there are a lot of things I'd like to touch on and ideally there are features I'd like to see updated at least on a weekly basis. One of those being a comic book feature. I know that "The Pull Box" is already taken as I'm sure countless other sites and blogs talk about their "Pull Box", so at some point I'll have to come up with something. For the time being, I'll be happy if I can just get on here every week or so to talk (comic) shop.
