OK, it's Sunday and still no thread for this issue, so here goes from memory...
Plot: We're in the middle of a fight between Wolverine and DP. (Deadpool has been hired by a shadowy government type figure to kill Wolverine.) Wolverine starts off the issue by slicing off most of Deadpool's fingers, leading to Deadpool making several "stupid flipper hands" comments. We get a full page spread that alludes to DP having a Captain America costume ready, presumably for him to wear to drive Wolverine absolutely berkerker. There's some more fighting, and during the fight a woman cries out for help for her baby. Wolverine goes to help, and it's revealed to be a set-up -- the "baby" is a bomb which blows up in Wolverine's face. Things seem to be going according to Deadpool's plan... Wolverine attacks Deadpool, and while Deadpool is taking on some serious damage, his fingers have grown back enough to be useful. He shoots Wolverine in the head at point blank range. The last image: Wolverine and DP had seemingly died in each others arms.
Review: Not much in the way of character development, other than to say that Deadpool may be insane, but at least he's got a plan. There were a couple of gags that made me laugh. There was a cliffhanger, but this really seems like a textbook example of decompression. Couldn't this issue and the last one have been combined?
Rating: 2/5 (Fair)
OK your turn,
