Cable & Deadpool Vol 4: Bosom Buddies

After all of the seriousness of the last collection, Deadpool takes the young Cable to Intercourse, PA, which is not exactly what Deadpool thought it would be. While sharing a beer, they sort-of share their pasts in a series of flashbacks (the readers see more than the characters do, since both men are rather tight-lipped during the exchange). Deadpool is hired by some mysterious person who wants him to steal the Dominus Objective, but he runs into a ton of people standing in his way. He's also hired to steal "the Cone of Silence" (not to be confused with the Cone of Shame, haha), which brings him into the path of Spider-Man.

Altogether, this is another fun romp in comics. One of the characters has the ability to make people visualize their deepest, darkest desires. This happens twice; the first time, Deadpool is on a beach with Cable rubbing oil on him (that will NEVER not be funny!), and the second time, although we don't see what exactly everyone thinks, it ends with Weasel on Deadpool's shoulders and Deadpool leaning over Cable. Epic.

Unfortunately, this also marks when Patrick Zircher left C&D to draw for Iron Man. I love love LOVE Zircher's Cable; no one draws him as well as Zircher does. ( )

A needlessly complicated plot device towards the end mars an otherwise fun (and occasionally sobering, especially the first chapter) book. ( )
