THE MARVEL UNIVERSE KILLS DEADPOOL pt I
Written by Gerry Duggan

Published March 28, 2018
Eerie similar to Daredevil #600, scores of supervillains sail on a gambling boat when the lights go out. Deadpool explains to the patrons that he intends to rob them. When confronted, he murders naysayers and once accidentally triggering the PA system, makes a run for it.
With Lady Stilt Man in pursuit, he lobs a grenade and makes it to one of the upper decks. Once taking out random boat personnel, the last thing between escape with the loot is Jack O'Lantern and some goons he is easily able to dispose of. Deadpool fires a grappling hook and later returns the mangled stilt people back to the deck.
Atop the bridge, Wade is shot in the knees by the police. He's able to disarm one of them and uses a pistol to incapacitate the other. When a police copter hovers nearby, he uses his grappling hook again to board the craft, later sending the pilot into the pee-pool below.
He finally escapes to a church, and entering the confession booth, talks to the nun behind the screen. With the 20 million from the boat, he gives Sister Danielle a kill list with only one name on it... his own. She sends the request out and he gives her the money.
The issue wraps with the bounty being published, popping up from cell phone to cell phone. As an assortment of villains see the message, Taskmaster utters "May The Best If Us Win...". With that, this issue is left to be continued.
And thus begins the final arc of Gerry Duggan's illustrious Deadpool career, at least for now anyway. As he's been at the helm for so many major points of the character's development, it's only fitting he send the merc out with a bang, and it's clear he intends to do just that. I'm lookg forward to this one. I give this issue a 9/10.
