Hey, set aside some time in your day for this monster issue from Gerry Duggan and Mike Hawthorne.
This is 80 pages (I didn't count them for myself but I think I read that it was 80 pages) of Deadpool goodness. And not like a double sized main story with some smaller vignettes to fill out an oversized issue, this is one giant story from the creative team. It's practically a graphic novel unto itself.
I'm not even going to attempt to summarize this beast but it's Deadpool going into space in search of a weapon that can deal with Madcap once and for all. Much hilarity ensues, with appearances from several familiar Marvel universe faces. We also see S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Scott Adsit begin a new chapter in his life.
I absolutely loved this issue. This comic has borne the famous FF header of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" for awhile and while it's there in an ironic way because it's Deadpool and all, I think this title consistently works hard to actually sincerely live up to that appellation. The creative team regularly goes the extra mile to put out something special every month and this is one of the most notable examples of that.
And while I frequently find myself laughing out loud at this book, I have to say that this particular issue really killed it in that department. God is it funny.
The end of this issue cues things up for Secret Empire. Not sure where it fits exactly in regards to the ending of Uncanny Avengers #23 (I'm guessing it takes place beforehand) but as Duggan wrote 'em both, I'm sure they fit together just fine.
Anyhow, great issue. Highly recommended.
