The Mercs For Money are tired of Deadpool screwing around. They love being heroes, but the very definition of a mercenary means you get paid. And nobody can remember the last time Deadpool has paid them. Has he ever paid them? Determined to do something about it, the guys decide to pull a heist that will result in some cold hard cash flowing their way.
Along with dealing with a work place revolt on his hands, Deadpool is struggling at home as well. His wife Shiklah, Queen of the Undead, is unhappy with how mellow the Merc with a Mouth has gotten. His daughter is forbidden from seeing him. Good friends are dying left and right. And it looks like his role as Avengers leader is also in serious jeopardy.
Plus, in the Deadpool 2099 storyline, Wade's two warring daughters finally come to a head. One only wants to protect her father. The other is looking for the body of her late mother, Shiklah! The winner not only gets everything they ever wanted, they'll also earn the moniker of Deadpool 2099!
This was a good story arc written by Gerry Duggan. But it wasn't great. Some may like it when things go rough for Deadpool. I am not one of those people. I like my Deadpool to be more upbeat. Yes, I like him to be nutty and odd- and he's plenty of that here. But I hate to see Deadpool in the dumps. When Deadpool is supposed to be a pick-me-up, that just doesn't happen here to see a beloved characters world fall apart at the seams.
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
