Deadpool breaks into the jail but is caught red handed. He punches the responding officer in the nuts, escapes after being inconventiely shot and sets out on his business. Walking down the cellblock, he sees his target and blows the old Hydra commander away. Somebody had to die although the real object of his affection is Steve Rogers. He vows revenge soon enough.

Lamenting that his life is over, the merc with a mouth takes his rental police car and digs up a bag at the cemetary. He stops by the Preston household and after a brief discussion with Terry, gives him a hundred thousand dollars cash. He sees Ellie and she flips him off for one last time and the family leaves him standing there. The phone rings and Wade heads in to raid the fridge. Stryfe has caught up with him. The deal was four lives for four lives and he's come to collect. First on the list is Cable. Wade initially refuses before the clone reminds him he's inside Ellie and Terry's house.

Deadpool begrudgingly agrees and pulls the gas line out of the stove. He puts their mail in the toaster, lets the place go up in flames and later steals a fire truck. On the way, he's primed and ready for a flashback.
Sabretooth once told him that he should stop for a second and think. All the people stuck with him will die and leave him living. Isn't it best to walk away. First stop, Avengers theater. Photos of him and the Unity Squad are soaked in gasoline. Photos of the Mercs for Money are doused. Lastly a pic of the Prestons is soaked before the Zippo strike. The theater goes up in flames and Deadpool walks away.

The issue ends with him breaking into a gun store. He fills a duffle bag, steals a motorcycle and hops on a bike - leaving it all behind and moving on. With that, this issue comes to a big end... and the Despicable Deadpool is once again reborn.
This concludes the Marvel Now arc, with Deadpool returning to it's original numbering of issue 287 up next. I'm not sure what the plans are with the writing staff, but I can only hope Gerry Duggan gets to lead the revolution. He's earned it. I've never seen a writer who seemingly holds onto a character quite like he does and at this point, I don't know if I could follow him with another writer at the helm. Guess there's only one way to find out. For this issue, I give it a 9/10.
