Another Deadpool 3 trailer. Or is it Deadpool and Wolverine now? I may, actually, go to a movie theater to see it. The first two didn't let me down, they earned my goodwill. Not much going on comics-wise, but there's at least one book this week to discuss.
Dwayne surveys the complete cock-up his fight with Rage last issue produced and decides to try and fix things. Without accepting any help from Sil, of course. He tries speaking with the head cop about making talking to Rage, but when he mentions he's a friend, the cop gets very aggressive and accusatory. Dwayne does not break several of his bones like he thinks about doing. Boooooo.
Next he tries the local councilman, Ikolo, who has rallied the community for a peaceful march/protest towards the police station. Dwayne advises against this, but Ikolo argues the community needs a rallying point since one of their major pillars of support is gone. *looks significantly at the shuttered Taylor Foundation*
Throughout the entire first half of the issue, Daniel draws Dwayne as separate from everyone. When we see shuttered businesses or people being frisked, Dwayne's always off to one side, just observing. He's separated from Armez's officers by a barricade, and he stays at the edge of Ikolo's rally. Touching nothing, only touched when Sil reaches for his hand, which he doesn't reciprocate, or when Armez pokes him in the chest, and Dwayne's leaning away from that. Trying to avoid involvement even when he says he's trying to fix things.
Having failed to sway either side Dwayne. . .gives up. This is unwelcome news to Sil, who found Rage's little army and promised to help them in exchange for help. But that means getting Dwayne out of his ennui over a life he feels he wasted and was only granted a reprieve out of stupid luck. The breakthrough comes via Dramatic Graveyard Combat, the #1 therapeutic technique for all head-shrinkers! So it's 2 New Warriors and a bunch of, kids?, pre-teens? early adolescents? Daniel draws the lead kid with a scruffy goatee, but also half the size of Sil or Dwayne, which makes him look about 8, so I don't know. Anyway, it's 2 New Warriors and the Hoodie Infestation to deal with some abuse of police authority.
