- This arc opens with another flashback issue, telling the lost story of the time Deadpool joined the Heroes for Hire to fight the White Man.
- It spills over into the present, when the White Man seeks revenge upon Deadpool.
- The meat of this arc, however, involves the Merc with the Mouth taking on the shadowy group that has been harvesting his organs and messing with his memory.
- This leads turns into an emotional crucible for Wade; although while I enjoy the arc, there is a fridginess to it that I wish weren’t there.
- Duggan and Posehn’s Deadpool continues to be some of my favorite.
- Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire handle art duties for this arc, and their style is perfect for its more personal, serious tone.
