   Deadpool battles against a myriad of criminals trying to claim the twenty million dollar bounty on him, including both Juggernaut and the Taskmaster, until eventually being run over by Bullseye in a New York Taxi. 

Yes! The Tathmather!

   Finally knocked out, Taskie and Bullseyet bring the merc to their secret lair where he explains to them that he's the one that levied the bounty on himself in the first place. After finding out the truth, they realize killing him only gives him what he wants, so they decline.

Meh, it ain't worth it...

   Meanwhile, Maria Hill consults with her Deadpool taskforce when a heavily bandaged Hawkeye walks in. Problem is the real Hawkeyes are right behind him. They corner him on a rooftop, and after trading a few blows, he reveals a few of the good deeds he did during Secret Empire amid the awful ones he did at the behest of Evil Cap.  

I did some nice things too...

   Elsewhere, former Avengers accountant turned Nova commander Scott Adsit learns about Coulson and Preston's death - and heads back to earth to avenge them.

Bad news when even the nerds want in.

   The issue wraps with the non-evil Captain America greeting an old, recently re-animated friend. Under the sheet recovering, Agent Emily Preston rises from the dead. With plans to seek out Deadpool for one final time, it looks like Wade may finally be out of time. We'll have to wait to find out though, as this series coasts to an amazing conclusion.

Well, Shiklah is DEFINITELY hotter at this point...

   On the twilight of Gerry Duggan's legendary Deadpool run, there's not a lot for me to say other than how much this book will miss him. I picked up this book with low expectations so long ago, and though it's rarely irritated me, it usually left me wanting more. I can't wait to see how they wrap this one up... I give these a 10/10.
