Honestly the similarities between Slade and Wade are only superficial. Yes Deadpool was clearly made with Deathstroke's image and line of work copied over but their backgrounds and more importantly personalities are vastly different. I think it's just easier to get into reading Deathstroke because he is a serious character with a more traditional basis.

Side note not directed at anyone in specific: it amuses me that I've seen and heard people say they don't like or "don't get" Deadpool but then admit to liking the movie which pretty much captures the essence of the character. The movie didn't reinvent the character, if anything it is one of the more faithful comic movie character adaptations.
