   Cable lies in a pool of blood while his arm's AI injects pure adrenaline into him. Swiping at him from the darkness is the REAL Deadpool he knows. Not the Avenger. He calls for Trista and Belle hits Wade with a massive burst of energy. He keeps the former member of the Unity Squad enveloped in a pain stasis while he hobbles away to recharge. Once he's out of range, Deadpool falls to the ground and follows the trail of blood.

The old and improved Deadpool!

   Shooting up a newspaper stand on the way, he walks into the hospital blasting. While injuring scores of people on the way, Cable hits him with an air tank, scaring patients and doctors alike. Cable wants to know why he's trying to kill him again, and after a quick Marvel Legacy joke, the fight goes on. He tells Wade that he'd warned Captain America but according to Deadpool, it's all Cap's fault. He hits an MRI machine and disable's Cable's body jump.

I still don't get what the constant tak-tak-tak thing was...

   Deadpool pulls out a carbon free katana blade, and swipes down on Cable's arm, severing it. With a blow ready that would certainly decapitate him, he's frozen. Time officers have popped in thinking Cable is actually his evil clone Stryfe. They arrest him, and as they teleport away, Deadpool whiff's the sword hard into the air.

Thanks, Citizen.

   Suddenly the hospital phone rings and it's the real Stryfe - the time jumping gangster who's goaded Deadpool into this kill list in the first place, who tells him he still has all the tools. Wade picks up Cable's bionic arm and stabs his sword through a door. He uses it to sever his own arm and orders his own little demonic AI to incapacitate Belle.He attaches the arm to his own socket and prepares to timejump. Deadpool's coming for Cable but we're gonna have to wait, as this issue is left to be continued.

That's yo' ass.

   Say whaaaaaaaaat?! Was that the best issue of Deadpool I've ever read? Is it just me or has Marvel Legacy just pulled Wade back to where he's supposed to be. If the merc with a mouth rides the fence of good vs evil, I prefer him to be a little on the evil side. Face it - it was never a good idea to make Deadpool a good guy for this long. Props to Gerry Duggan for taking the training wheels off again. I'm pretty stoked for the future here. I give this one a 10/10.
