I really have to hand it to Charles Soule here. Exactly how much he has turned this book around since taking over the writing duties has never been more evident than it is in this issue. Whenever a story goes from being just entertaining to eliciting an actual emotional response, clearly somebody is doing something right. I also have to give Paco Diaz and Israel Silva some praise here. For a long time I had serious issues with the art in this series (outside of Julian Totino Tedescos beautiful covers), but between possibly the saddest looking Wade Wilson you will ever see and the page-six shocker, Diaz and Silva have this book at its visual high point so far. This may not be the best start point for new readers, what with the teams current mission starting last issue, but this arc is looking like a nice payoff for long time readers such as myself as at least one plot thread has been building since all the way back in the series first arc.

This book gets brutally violent in a way that even previous issues had barely scratched the surface. We get at least one on-panel death of a squadmate that is horrific and the implied deaths of two more (though this being comics that is, of course, very up in the air), but theres still plenty of room for a chuckle here and there, even if its a dark chuckle. At someone elses expense. Someone named Deadpool. This is a great character-development issue, and I hope these changes stick around. Read Full Review

Still think that Frank is too much a soldier boy. He questions Ross in some options but in the end he always do what he wants, he is limited to following orders. This is one of my major critic that i have to make in Soule take on Frank. In some sort, this limits the character into a one dimensional depth. The other characters in my view are well developed.
