Still possessed by the spirit of slain SHIELD agent Preston, Deadpool seeks to find the answers behind her death and the discovery that someone's been harvesting Wade Wilson's organs for decades. Their search will take them to some of the furthest reaches of planet earth, including North Korea, a duplicate helicarrier made by an evil spy organization, and Wolverine's bedroom! Plus, go back to Deadpool's early days as he team's up with the Heroes for Hire in the 1970s and takes a much-needed vacation in 1960s Wakanda.
The team of Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan continue to take the Merc with a Mouth to new levels- of insanity, action, and lots and lots of gore. I see lots of critics of modern day Deadpool on social media with fans saying he's too goofy, too weird, and too over-the-top. Yet, Deadpool continues to be a fan favorite, so Posehn, Duggan, and the editors at the House of Ideas are obviously doing something right.
Along with the outstanding writing, Scott Koblish does a fantastic job on the art adding lots of great Easter eggs throughout. Added to the mix are the awesome regular covers by Mark Brooks (issues 21-25.) I just loved this whole thing- especially the epic parody of Aliens! Game Over, Man!!!
