Many bloody/severed thumbs up go to buying this comic and taking it home right away. Read Full Review

Sharpen That PencilPhew, if there was anything that heightened the excitement in this comic, it was the artwork. Bagley made it swish this time. Because the colors were bright and hyperactive, I felt my heart-rate pickup. The gore was still present, but the focus went on vibrant colors and action scenes. I knew what was at stake, and it felt like there was a timer associated with Deadpool's death and his relationships. What lacked in immediate humor, provided itself in the coloring. I never felt separated from the page, and this is one of the rare moments where I found the art played an even stronger role in determining the protagonist's personality when the words weren't always available.

Deadpool collects his supporting cast and tries to recruit the Hellhouse into fighting the Assassins' Guild with him. Finally, the purpose of this series becomes clear: to merge some OG 90s Deadpool threads into his current continuity. That's a mighty modest goal for so many pages, and this issue gives a perfect demonstration of the indulgent way the creators go about it. Wade does an action montage of merc jobs with Threnody. It takes 7 pages to show 12 gigs - very stylish, but also very definitely filler. For other readers, this might easily be a good comic. It fails a subjective but vital test for me, though: I have absolutely zero interest in ever re-reading this.
