There have been multiple Death of Deadpool stories over the years.
Then they built up towards his death in the secondDeadpoolongoing, which turned out to be a giant fakeout.
This one is the bigger punch to the gut.
Even the situation around his death leaves some stuff open-ended.
I for one am going to mourn it.
This book definitely has theactionpart down pat.
And where it gets going is to town.
Hawthorne goes to town, is what Im saying.
What Im badly saying.
Its probably the highlight of the six stories, although the others have their moments.
Scott Aukerman and Mirko Colak do an okay tale of Agent Adsit fighting werewolves alongside Spider-Man.
The final story in the gigantic issue is just as important as the first one.
Now in terms ofhumor?
Its not as strong as it should have been.
There are a lot of jokes in this sequence and only a handful of them actually land.
But the real story here is thepathos.
We really get into Deadpools head for a second and the whole experience is just heartbreaking.
At the same time, it complements the first story without outright referencing it in any way.
Deadpool wont be gone for too long, Im sure, but this chapter is over.
It was a great finale to a great book and Im sad to see it go.
