With the previous volume of Deadpool, writers Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn often broke up longer story arcs with standalone issues that thrust Wade Wilson into bygone eras of the Marvel Universe. That's more or less the thinking with Deadpool #6. This issue has the distinction of introducing a new version of Deadpool into the world of Marvel 2099. But whereas past interlude issues were mostly goofy little side-stories, this issue looks to have a far more profound and dramatic effect on the franchise.
This issue is immediately distinguished by the fact that it's not all that funny. Sure, it's satirical in its examination of late 21st Century life, culture and politics. It even boasts one amusing gag in the form of a team of Hydra Agent Bobs. This issue pays more than a little homage to The Dark Knight returns in its general presentation and its use of talking media heads. But in general, the tone is pretty grim, reflecting a general shift in Duggan's run. The mystery of just who this new female Deadpool is, what their connection to Wade Wilson is and how certain dark events in the past paved the way for this unhappy future are very much at the center of the story. This makes for a bleak, tragic read that adds an extra sense of foreboding to the rest of the series. Are these events in Wade's life inevitable, or merely one possible eventuality?
