Gerry Duggan's long Deadpool saga is a strong testament to what's possible when a writer remains on board a series for years at a stretch. Duggan has spent years building up Wade Wilson, giving him a defined family unit, helping him win the respect of his fellow heroes and generally making him a more dynamic and critical presence in the Marvel Universe. And now Duggan gets to pay off on all that buildup as he pulls the rug out from under Wade and brings it all crashing down. This darker direction for Deadpool works precisely because it builds on the last five years' worth of stories.
Granted, those hoping for a comedy-driven Deadpool comic may feel a bit left out by this new direction. But it's not as if fans are starved for alternatives these days. And more to the point, Duggan's run has always been at its best when it focuses on the darker, more emotionally raw side of Wade's existence. There's plenty of absurdity at work in this issue. Wade wearing Cable's cybernetic arm and interacting with his own AI assistant adds a nice bit of comedic punch to the conflict, but ultimately it's mere garnish for a very dark tale of two former allies becoming bitter enemies.
