It's a marvel of pacing, humor and world-building beyond your typical superhero story. It's the promise of the Silver Age made modern. Read Full Review

Deadpool's return to the dark side has been a slow burn but Duggan and Co. have made it a fun ride. It is an interesting story with some great artwork and I am anxious to see where it ends up next. Read Full Review

Deadppol and Cable take their on again off again friendship to the end of the universe and its a fun to see how they get there. Read Full Review

As promised by the giant stone cover-letters, Cable dies. That makes this a Cable-centric issue, and rightly so. Gerry Duggan unloads a lot of wild ideas on the time-traveling mutant here, and their exciting-but-derivative nature is perfect for the highly absurd tone this story arc is aiming for. It's a very good issue but it's too feather-light to be a great one. Scott Koblish's art, which veers into Ed "Big Daddy" Roth madness at some points, also fits the "good fun but not epic greatness" quality level.

I was having a lot of trouble getting into the story presented in this arc. After reading this issue I am starting to come around. It still has a feeling like Deadpool is a supporting player in his own book as Cable takes the lead. Some of Deadpool's humor feels a little forced. Those moments are far less distracting this time around. The time travel tale takes the book in a science fiction direction that felt a more risky story to tell for Deadpool. There are also moments of humor that help mask the forced moments. I was most surprised by the emotional moment as Cable reflects on his hopes and fears of his future. It may not be an issue I would call a must read, but the issue is strong enough to make me think it is a series worth hanging with. more

Rick and Morty much?

You're right, I hadn't even thought of that.
