This book is a fun ride, and worth picking up if you're a fan of Captain America or Panther (or the Howling Commandos, for that matter.) It's certainly not essential, and you won't miss anything earth-shattering by not reading it, but you will be entertained if you do.

Cable brings the brains, Deadpool brings the funny, and they both bring the action in this very well done issue.

Although this book has its moments (and the moments it has are quite funny), it's an unnecessary addition to an already Deadpool-saturated comic rack. And the fact that there are four unnecessary Deadpool-wannabes cluttering up the issue and distracting from its star only adds insult to injury. Unless you're a Deadpool collector, stay away. And even if you are, at $3.99, it's just not worth your time.
