heartbreaking....

Since the first issue, LL&L has been on Deadpool about how he is capable of being a great hero. At first he disregarded it. Then he embraced it. Then he lost faith in himself. Then he regained that faith and embraced the idea of being a hero again. Then he found out that they were messing with him and that by being a “hero”, they just want him to kill a guy. Then he got depressed until yet again embracing that, yes, it’s his destiny to be a hero.

His job is to slay Tiamat, the alien creature out to stop the Messiah from reaching Earth. After all this lead-up, it’s time for Deadpool to show what he’s made of and save the world!

…It doesn’t go so well. Tiamat beats the utter crap out of him and Deadpool barely teleports away with his life. It’s a complete disaster. Usually, when a hero hits his ordeal like this, they’d feel bummed about it. They’d feel depressed and maybe a bit angry.

The thing about Deadpool is that he is an immature man. It shows with his joking at inopportune times, his ways of ignoring the seriousness of things and his unfortunate temper. As you can see, there’s more to immaturity:



Damn, he still has Tiamat’s spear lodged in his leg.

The image of Wade Wilson unmasked, crying and huddled up in fetal position on Blind Al’s lap as she acts like a motherly figure is just so heartbreaking! And even with all the stuff he’s done to her, the fact that Blind Al is there to comfort him is just such an emotional touch.
