Gerry Duggan's Deadpool is usually at its best when the humor makes takes a backseat to pathos, so it's good to see the first arc of this relaunched series ending on such a downer. Deadpool has discovered that one of his new "Mercs for Money" has secretly been the architect of his recent misery. The ensuing showdown not only gives the arc more dramatic weight, it sets the stage for more darkness to come in Wade Wilson's life.
Deadpool doesn't have much in the way of a sizable rogues gallery, if only because most of his enemies tend to wind up dead. This issue suggests that Madcap could very easily earn a place among the great Deadpool foes. Duggan has employed their shared history to great effect, showing that Madcap isn't a remorseless killer so much as a crazed immortal driven to over the edge by being exposed to Wade's mind. Their final battle showcases the revolting man underneath the faux-Deadpool costume, one who can't be killed by gun or blade or explosion. What follows is an extended, disgusting battle scene that seems to draw inspiration from the shape-shifting monster from John Carpenter's The Thing.
