Want to see more of Deadpool teaming up? Well this isn’t quite the same scale as X-Force, but Deadpool: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly brings together the merc with a mouth, Wolverine, and Captain America for their own adventure. Like Uncanny X-Force, this book is a more serious take on the character and it digs heavily into what makes Deadpool tick.
The story revolves around the Weapon-X program, which ties together the three main characters in the book, and how it has affected all three of them in unique ways. Captain America as the original Super Soldier has to deal with how the world turned to gruesome scientific experiments to recreate him, while Wolverine and Deadpool have to sift through the trauma that the program inflicted upon them directly.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly uses each character to hold up a mirror to the others in the cast. What makes this work is how multi-dimensional it allows that introspection to be. There are still quips and fights to enjoy, but this arc packs some surprising emotional punch
