The characters and action feel very true to what one would expect from the Marvel comics, and it's tons of fun to play through. That aside the book works pretty well – despite you being rammed onto a certain track it definitely doesn't read as if you're being forced down a set chain of set events, but are 'playing' in a wider world. As in the Choose Your Own Adventure novels you will read along, constantly needing to make decisions on what to do next, but unlike with those books you will have stats that will fluctuate depending on your actions, be able to acquire items to help along the way, be forced to do puzzles, and even fight battles, the outcomes of which will be dependent by dice rolls and stat modifications.

After all, the Arkham Horror and Zombicide novels are direct expansions from board games, and therefore generate an appeal not too distant from the ‘choose your own adventure’ tropes found in the Multiverse Missions books. Then suddenly a masked man with double sword and guns appears in front of you with an offer to help him save the city by uncovering a secret mission of alien guns flooding the city.Perhaps it's because I have only seen the junior examples of this genre over the last few years, but perhaps it's because a helluva lot of work has been put into this, but I found this really quite exemplary for its kind, and a very, very engaging gamebook.

Niche Marvel knowledge is needed at one point; here's a numbered entry where it's clearly you doing the fighting; here's a great paucity of death scenes (only seven and a chance of an eighth before I'd mapped my way to the Big Boss's introduction! While a physical copy may be easier to navigate, I found jumping around pages on my kindle seamless enough that it did not affect my enjoyment one bit. At one point I had 8 Merc Points and my goal was to get 9 Merc Points with the help of two dice rolls.The anarchic and tongue-in-cheek tone of You are (not) Deadpool definitely distinguishes it from other books of the same format and helps create a unique relationship between reader, protagonist and author. Myself and my husband both had a few goes through to see how well we could do and what different things we could do.
