📖 Brief Plot Summary:

In the midst of Civil War II, tensions rise not just among Earth’s mightiest heroes, but within Deadpool’s own camp. The Mercs for Money—tired of Wade’s erratic leadership, dangerous decisions, and misplaced priorities—finally reach their breaking point. As the world fractures over the ethics of predictive justice, Deadpool must deal with internal betrayal, shifting alliances, and the uncomfortable realization that not even his closest allies want him around anymore. đŸ˜ŹđŸ’„

🌌 Notable Arcs or Storylines:

  • Civil War II Tie-In: This issue directly ties into Marvel’s Civil War II event, where the moral question of using future knowledge to prevent crimes splits the hero community.

  • Breakup of the Mercs for Money: A major turning point where Deadpool’s hired team walks out, setting up the launch of their own spin-off series.

🔼 Fan Theories or Interpretations:

  • Deadpool’s Unreliable Heroism: Some fans view this issue as a critique of Deadpool’s self-perception. Though he believes he’s evolved into a genuine hero, his inability to lead or maintain relationships proves otherwise.

  • Mercs for Money as Mirrors: Each mercenary reflects aspects of Deadpool's fragmented personality—greedy, violent, loyal, unstable—making their rebellion a symbolic rejection of Wade’s own inner conflict. đŸ€Ż

🌟 Review Summary:

Deadpool #15 is a fun, explosive entry that juggles multiple tones masterfully. Duggan’s writing delivers biting humor and tragic self-awareness, while Hawthorne’s dynamic art perfectly complements the emotional chaos. The breakdown of the Mercs for Money adds a rare dose of realism to Deadpool’s world, highlighting his flaws not just as a hero, but as a person. A must-read for fans of unpredictable team dynamics and sharp satire. đŸ”„đŸ§
