After killing Cable in the pages of X-men 200 and Wolverine chopping Deadpool's head off last issue, I wondered what this issue would be about. Leave it to Nicieza to keep pulling stories out of his great ingenious head. To top the greatness of this issue we also throw in the fantastic Ron Lim, who doesn't get enough work in my opinion.
After taking Wade's noggin off Wolverine turns his attention to Penetrator. Even thought the whole time Weasel is trying to clue him in that he is a Pene-traitor! Bob: Agent of Hydra manages to reattach Wade's head back to his body and presto! Deadpool is back. And of course there is the must Wolverine Vs. Hydra agents fight! Not only is this book action packed, but damn it's one of the funniest comics in recent time. It really takes a great writer to have that great balance in a book. Everything is set up for the next issue at the end with Deadpool and Bob teleporting somewhere or somewhen. Only small gripe is that Wolverine seems to be wearing his old costume and not his Astonishing one. But still, I can't wait for the next issue. A
I really liked this ish too. But I didn't know Deadpool was some kinda righty (sending people to Guantanamo?). I didn't know there was a difference between Wolvie's regular and Astonishing costumes.
