Deadpool's dumped into a stand-up fight with the Guild of Assassins in New Orleans. The rigor of a nice one-issue premise gives this comic the spine its predecessor was lacking. Brutal combat, outstanding art, and a much firmer grasp on its philosophy (Wade's a killer, but with standards) are all assets here. The continued uncertainty of flashback limbo, though, is still an anchor. The longer it takes the creators to get around to explaining how this series connects to contemporary Deadpool, the less satisfying the explanation is likely to be.
