A great mixture of humor and pathos in this one. We start off with a fantastic stand alone issue where Deadpool helps a girl contemplating suicide in his own way. The way this ends is perfect. It surprised the hell out of me.
Then Madcap is back, or at least half of him is, Kuato style. Madcap goes after Wade's family and Wade makes a deal with the devil to save them.
Last up is a culmination of the Deadpool 2099 storyline. It's not bad but has been going on and off for two years. I wish they had just held off and collected the whole story all at once. But I'm sure that's coming. Marvel likes to milk that Deadpool cash cow for all she's got.

This is a good example of why superheroes are fun. Maybe not the best thing in comics but fun.
What’s it about?
I don’t want to spoil too much but... so earlier in this run of Deadpool we saw some crazy shit happen involving a character named Madcap. Now Madcap is back and wants to ruin Wade’s life.
Pros:
The first issue in this collection is fantastic! It’s a standalone issue that shows why I love this character. I don’t want to give away anything but it is so damn good!
The story is interesting. Maybe not the most deep thing in the world but it’s something that interested me for a fun little Marvel adventure.
The artwork is fantastic in most of this book.
The characters are fairly interesting. Deadpool is one of my favorite Marvel characters in fact (probably tied with Punisher for favorite Marvel character).
The action scenes are fantastic and frequent. I tend to like stabby and shooty stuff when it comes to action scenes so that’s probably part of why I often read this character, you don’t get as much of that (or at least not as graphically) in MOST other Marvel comics (I put emphasis on most because of Punisher).
The humor is frequent and often hilarious! There are lots of lines in this volume that got me laughing like hell!
Cons:
This book is a bit predictable. There was the occasional twist that I didn’t expect but for the most part what I expected to happen happened.
So one thing in the story annoyed me.
The censored swearing. At first I didn’t mind it because I expected it and I understood what was being said but in this volume there’s a few lines that even I, someone who commonly reads and uses profanity, didn’t get because of the censorship. It also doesn’t make much sense to do it in this book because we’re most likely going to see people get shot, stabbed and chopped up. Why would they censor dialogue, especially since the reputation this character has from his film is well... R-rated, I doubt many people younger than high school age would read this (with parental permission I mean).
The Deadpool 2099 issue is stupid. I didn’t mind the whole Deadpool 2099 thing before but this (I think) finale to it is so bad, especially that cheesy ending.
Overall:
This book sort of shows what I mean when I say I like superhero comics.
Sometimes you find some that are exceptionally amazing and it ain’t hard to find some bad ones but an example like this isn’t either. Sure, it has some problems and may not be a masterpiece in my opinion but it’s a fun, kind of light story that can be enjoyed and that’s what you should expect and it gives readers what most of them want: a fun adventure involving superpowers, action and humor, even if this one is bloodier than usual.
4/5

[Read as single issues]
The best volume of the previous Deadpool series was The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly - the one that balanced humour and pathos perfectly. Patience: Zero attempts to echo that success here, and for the most part succeeds, if not to the same levels. Deadpool is on Madcap's trail once again, but the cancerous little git has targeted his family so all bets are off. There's one very clever twist that I totally thought was going one way and swerved off into another direction, which was a nice surprise. Add in the usual Deadpool-level of mayhem and emotional gut punches, and this is another solid arc. I do wonder how long we can deal with Madcap however - I enjoy him as a recurring antagonist, but Wade's been after him unsuccessfully for a while now so a little closure would be nice.
Also included in this volume are a one-off about Deadpool helping someone attempting suicide in an obvious-if-effective All-Star Superman riff, and the conclusion to the Deadpool 2099 story which I can't remember because it's been so interesting. I did like it to start with, but it's gone on a bit too long.
Matteo Lolli handles the artwork in this one, rotating out with Mike Hawthorne again in a tag-team that remains as successful as usual, with Scott Koblish drawing the 2099 issue. I do wonder what Koblish's art usually looks like, since every issue he draws is intended to match the style of the era the issue is set. I wonder if Koblish even knows any more.
Good stuff, but a little repetitive now. Definitely sets up some dangerous new stuff for further down the road though with the cliffhangers.

This was tolerable.
First, in thematic symmetry, Wade, who's close to rock bottom, convinces a girl who's about to commit suicide to join him in his shenanigans instead. Then a longer story in which Madcap, who is growing on a host like the mutant from Total Recall, comes up with a way to attack Wade through his family. And finally, the continuation (finale?) of the adventures of Deadpool 2099.
The story and the characters and the art were all solid in this volume.

This volume opens with a story of Deadpool meeting a woman who is about to commit suicide by jumping off a building. He decides to show her what makes him feel better, which is basically beating people up. There's real heart in it as Deadpool knows what it's like to feel truly depressed. I really got the point of the story but for me it didn't quite come off as well as it might have.
The bulk of the volume sees the return of Madcap, i.e. the voice that used to be in Deadpool's head. There's a lot to like in this volume. Madcap is now living off someone's chest as a gross gremlin-creature which gives us some body horror and a mystery- whose body is it? We see Madcap's origin story, which is nothing too special but still nice to have. And things get very personal as Madcap attacks Deadpool's daughter Ellie and the rest of Preston's family. It's a decent story but we still don't get a finale to the Deadpool Vs. Madcap thing which has been going on for a while now.
Finally, there's the conclusion to Deadpool 2099. I sort of feel this fun idea was stretched too far and didn't to take up so many issues. Here Deadpool's daughters fight it out, Warda, his daughter with Shiklah, and Ellie. I liked the use of Ellie here and there's a secret about her we haven't learnt in our timeline yet. Indeed several things are teased, including future battles between Deadpool and his wife Shiklah.
Not my favorite Deadpool volume of the run but solid enough. It doesn't really do anything special but it's more of the same Deadpool awesomeness that Duggan keeps dishing out.

Deadpool is back! This is far and away the best volume of the new run of this title. And while it's not 100% perfect I'm willing to mark it as such because from first page 'til last this felt very much in vein with the previous run. Deadpool finally feels like Deadpool again.

i think that was the first volume in this series that’s been actually good. even the 2099 issue was decent

Pretty much everything you'd expect from a Deadpool graphic. Except for the first issue... where Deadpool actually helps a woman about to commit suicide. He takes her to see "Hamilton," and then lets her tag along to beat up criminals. The graphic ends with him taking her to a hospital (he'd been texting the staff the whole night), because he realizes that, as much as he would like to help, he knows that her problems go far deeper than he's capable of addressing. She walks into the hospital, and the story ends with Deadpool saying that life is hard, but you just have to keep finding corners to turn. That was... oddly intense and insightful for Deadpool, and, honestly, one of the better Deadpool reads I've come across in a while. Because, despite all of that, it still had some humor. That's a difficult balance, but Gerry Duggan found it, so... *slow clap* The rest of the comic went back to the main story: Deadpool fighting with Shiklah, Madcap coming after him, Deadpool's financial woes, etc. There was both humor and suspense, as Madcap makes Deadpool a carrier for a virus without a cure. Deadpool passes that on to his family, and then it's a race against the clock to find Madcap and get the cure. (Question though: Deadpool also comes in contact with a TON of people at the race track and with some construction workers, too... why don't they get sick when this virus seems INSANELY easy to catch? Yeah... I think that's a bit of a plot hole--unless I missed something--which would have been fine if Deadpool actually broke the fourth wall and addressed it, but....) The good new: They all live. The bad news: They only live because Deadpool makes a deal with some future guy (I don't read as much Marvel, so I actually don't know him), but the deal seems like Deadpool's going to have kill some people in exchange for the lives he was able to save with the cure. And the Deadpool we have now is actually on the road to being a better person, so... Yeah, the stakes are real. The final comic took place in the future, and finally tied up that whole Warda storyline (I hope). It's not a badly written story, it's just been kind of annoying me. I can't place my finger on why, but... I dunno, current Deadpool is interesting enough. I kinda feel disappointed when I turn the page and I find out I have to read the future stuff. Still, this is a solid enough graphic (giant plot hole aside) that any Deadpool fan can enjoy.

Bit of a mixed bag, this collection. Has a very dark humor-filled issue on suicide that is oddly uplifting, the sort-of return of Madcap, and the conclusion to the Deadpool 2099 story that’s been popping up every five or so issues. I wished the Madcap arc had a bit more of a conclusion to it than it did. As it stands, all it really did was set up future arcs with that whole Stryfe deal. Enjoyable overall.

Another good volume of Deadpoool. The best issue was the one with the suicidal girl, and I am glad ghe Deadpool 2099 is over, I did not like that whole series very much. The Madcap story on the other hand is progressing well.

superhero talks a girl off a roof is almost a subgenre for the medium.
Deadpool doing it is a fucking joy and incredibly on point for the character.

Madcap has returned! And he's mad as hell!
Things seem to not be going Deadpool's way right now. His marriage is falling apart. His Avengers team has been disbanded. And the Mercs for Money are making money, just without Deadpool.
Now with the return of Madcap, things have gone from bad to worse. The former resident of Wade Wilson's head seeks revenge on the hero. The fiend has unleashed an incurable plague upon his daughter and members of Agent Preston's family. In order to save them, Deadpool just may have to make a deal with the devil...
Then jump ahead to the year 2099. The Deadpool 2099 saga comes to an close. Which of his daughter winds up with the mantle of Deadpool? Where is Deadpool's bride Shiklah? And what does the Immortal Iron Fist have to do with any of this?
This volume was not as good than the last. Things aren't great for Deadpool and I like my Deadpool to be a little more upbeat. If I wasn't used to a funny Deadpool, then this would be great as it's quite gritty and dark.
I know things aren't supposed to be great for Wade Wilson. He's like Charlie Brown in a self-deprecating manner in which everyone thinks he's a real blockhead. He never can get ahead and if Deadpool does, he's quickly snapped back to reality. But I read books with the Merc With a Mouth when I need a pick me up and this did not do the job.
It's not the worst thing I've ever read by Gerry Duggan. It's just not my favorite either. The artwork by Scott Koblish on the on the hand was pretty awesome and that cover of Madcap bursting through some dude's chest is pretty wicked.

Mam problem z nową serią o Deadpoolu, ponieważ prawie z każdą dotychczasową odsłoną mam wrażenie, że w jakiś sposób marnowany jest tu potencjał na naprawdę dobre historie, które gdzieś toną w swojej byle jakości. Początek tego tomu był nawet obiecujący, kiedy to Wade stara się pomóc pewnej młodej dziewczynie, która chce zakończyć swoje życie.
Zabiera więc ją w podróż i przeżywają różne pogięte sytuacje, po to tylko aby niedoszła nieboszczka zmieniła zdanie. Deadpool już w serii z Marvel Now! udowodnił, że dobrze czuje się w poważniejszych tonach i potrafią one mocno wybrzmieć. Tu czegoś takiego aż tak daleko posuniętego nie ma. Niemniej Duggan po mocnym wejściu skupia się na powrocie Madcapa, który planuje uderzyć Deadpoola, tam gdzie najmocniej zaboli.
Szkopuł w tym, że wróg się nadal regeneruje i występuje tu w formie przylepca, jak to można zauważyć na okładce. Wprowadza to niepewności i uczucie zagrożenia, bowiem nie wiadomo, komu się taki pasożyt podczepił. Mogło to być ciekawie rozwiązane, ale koniec końców wyszło bardzo przeciętnie. Końcówka zaś to finalizacja wątku Deadpoola z 2099, który Duggan prowadził na przestrzeni ostatnich tomów.
I muszę przyznać, że się cieszę. Ten wątek całkowicie mnie nie interesował i mam nadzieję, że się tu zakończy, choć nadal ma otwartą furtkę do ewentualnego przedłużenia intrygi. Zbiór wygląda też nieźle, choć nie jest to coś o czym bym pamiętał za te x tygodni. Seria coraz mocniej skręca w takie rejony, że można ją polecić tylko fanom marki, a i oni pewnie zaczną kręcić na coś nosem.

Si algo ha caracterizado esta serie de Deadpool son los altibajos, hay volúmenes interesantes y volúmenes que no llevan a ninguna parte pero al menos son graciosos. La estructura que escogió Duggan, con muchos números especiales y tomos que solo tienen dos o tres números, hace que haya mucho contenido desaprovechado.
El tomo seis es la excepción, es realmente bueno y me recordó mucho a las cosas que me gustaron de la serie de Marvel NOW que también escribió Duggan. En este volumen tenemos momentos muy graciosos, especialmente el primer número de esta colección, y momentos muy oscuros, los últimos dos por ejemplo.
Finalmente regresa Madcap. Algo que se nos había estado provocando desde el primer tomo, sucede aquí, y regresa como una especie de parásito en un huésped misterioso y trae un plan maestro que promete romper a Deadpool para siempre. Esta trama permite a Duggan mostrar un poco de su maestría planeando historias ya que nuevamente hila lo que está sucediendo con lo que hemos visto en los números sueltos de Deadpool 2099. Este tomo trae uno de esos números el cual remite fuertemente a justo lo que vimos en este tomo, y podemos estar seguros que las decisiones de Deadpool traerán fuertes consecuencias en los siguientes tomos.
Este tomo concentra las mejores cualidades del Deadpool de Duggan, un perfecto balance entre un bastardo gracioso y uno deprimente. Duggan es capaz de hacerte reír en una página, y romperte el corazón en la otra.

After Deadpool helps a suicidal girl from herself, he has to battle Madcap, who infects him with a virus that not only almost nearly takes him down, but begins to infect everyone around him. And this is especially bad when he goes to his daughters house for a holiday dinner.
Gerry Duggan has a way of sneaking in some serious drama in between all the zaniness that Deadpool is known for in his book. And it actually makes you really feel for Deadpool, as he realizes, for example in this volume, that he has infected his daughter and her family. You really get a sense of his rage, his sense of confusion, and his sadness at finding out that he is basically killing (albeit accidentally) the only family he has. Great stuff by Duggan.
The last story has to do with the 2099 story that has been going on for some time, and to be honest, I kind of forget the thread of that story because its so sparsely sprinkled in. I think they should collect them as one whole issue/volume, because right now I kinda just skimmed past it.
This is a good volume of Deadpool, and if you are a fan of the character you will surely like this volume.

3.5 Stars.
Bookended by unrelated stories, the majority of this Volume deals with the return of Madcap. After
he infects Wade with a virus that will hurt others, Agent Preston teams up with 'Pool to find the cure and the villain dispensing it. Where is Madcap? DP and Preston, after taking down quite a few teams find him growing inside Bob the Hydra Agent (I still chuckle everytime I hear this name!). The cure? Wade makes a deal with Stryfe, who brings the cure from the future... the price of which to be settled later. Has Deadpool made a deal with the devil?
The other two stories are heartwarming and just as good. 1) Deadpool talks a jumper out of suicide and the two of them go around beating up criminals to help her feel better. and 2) The conclusion of Deadpool 2099, where his daughters ultimately make peace and we find Shiklah's final resting spot.
This Volume is a step in the right direction for the series. Recommend.

Madcap's revenge gets ramped up to eleven as he targets Wade's family. Gerry Duggan does a phenomnal job this volume with making things matter. First, there's a touching chapter with Wade helping a young girl in his special way deal with suicidal thoughts. Then the main story hits and its very good. We get to see how much love he has for his family and the lengths he'll go to save them. This was pretty epic in scope. The ending was a little too easy or too quickly resolved though. The 2099 tale also ended here and it really drug on. The art, mostly by Matteo Lolli was very good. Overall, one of the best volumes of the series. Duggan continues to impress.

This is easily the best volume in the current Deadpool run. While still not quite up to par of some other Deadpool comics, this volume finally brings back a balance of manic fun and classic Deadpool humor mixed with the high emotional stakes he's been facing in this comic. It also shows some of the real heart that can shine through Deadpool's character - particularly in the first issue here. A truly enjoyable read overall.
January 5, 2018
Another solid addition to the Gerry Duggan run on Deadpool - been reading this story since "Dead Presidents" and it's still amazing! His take on the character is the perfect blend of heart vs humour.
This issue also has the conclusion to the Deadpool 2099 storyline, which as others have mentioned, would have been better served as it's own collected book.

I loved the first story in this, and for a change the 2099 arc story was pretty good, but Madcap was almost too gross looking to read. The story was intriguing though, especially the introduction of Stryfe into the arc.

This was most excellent from start to finish! I love Madcap as an arch nemesis. This Volume was full of drama, humor, and mixed emotions. I even liked the 2099 story at the end. Those have annoyed me, but they've been getting better and better. Overall a really good read.

Honestly, caring for others is probably Deadpool's greatest weakness and fear and Madcap really plays up on this.
Duggan got Deadpool and really worked him better than most authors.

Good story arc here. I like Madcap even though he's being a really bad guy in this one. Boop!

The first story really resonated with me. Also, some of the best lines I've heard from Deadpool in a while.

I don't know. I thought this was fine. The Deadpool 2099 stuff has been a strange thread in that it shows up pretty infrequently.
It's not 100% clear to me where any of this is going.

Have never liked Deadpool 2099, but the issue in this TPB is amazing. I want to cry at that ending.
