The minor characters become the stars of this issue, oddly enough. Unfortnately, Moore just doesn't seem to be finding much chemistry between Deadpool and Howard, hopefully the character revealed at the end of this issues gives a shot in the arm to the fifth and final issue.

Howard gets control of the DeadDuck body just in time to get stuck in a SHIELD/Roxxon crossfire. Some decent plot twists, added focus on Howard, and the still-great art all collude to drag this title up into respectable entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't recommend the title as a whole, but this is probably the high water mark.
