Really enjoyed this one! Deadpool was as sassy as ever and I enjoyed getting to know more about Cable who I'm fairly new to but love!

I was worried, after I bought this, that I may not enjoy it. Deadpool is known for lots of senseless violence. But I was hoping that Cable would even that out. I was right. I love Cable (after reading his standalone graphic novels that dealt with protecting Hope) and he is great in this. Even Deadpool is starting to grow on me. He sense of humor and candor to the audience, explaining the story, making popculture references, and joking that, with Cable, his glowing eye always seems to change sides. (A reference to the fact that depending on the comic artist, it can become very inconsistent)
Overall great. Looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.

This volume includes issues 1-6.
In the first issue of the volume, Deadpool goes to France to meet Anton Kruch, Prime Minister of One World Church (where everyone looks the same). Anton gives Deadpool a job- to go to Germany and retrieve a toxin (the Facade Virus) from the Sunic lab. Anton believes that the toxin can be used for good rather than evil. Next, we see Cable calling Irene Merryweather to get info about Sunic. While Deadpool is causing a huge scene at Sunic, Cable shows up.
In the second issue, we pick up with Cable and Deapool. Deadpool says, "blow my mind," so Cable shoots him right in the head and says that he will be long gone by the time Deadpool's healing factor kicks in. Next, we see a group of college kids (two boys and a girl) who call themselves the Spammers, who have taken the "virus." Then Deadpool and Cable meet up and discuss the virus. Cable says it needs to be destroyed and Deadpool says his employer says it can be used for good. Then Cable shoots Deadpool in the head again and head to a hotel where a man who has used the virus is melting. Cable takes him out, then takes out the other two that took the virus. Then Deadpool goes back to the blue colony.
In the third issue, we pick up with Cable testing his telekinetic powers to talk to Irene Merryweather. Then he has a discussion with Charles Xavier to ask him what good he can do with his powers before he can no longer control them. Later, Deadpool is being used as Anton Kruch's guinea pig and Cable is there watching without being seen to figure out what they're doing. They transform Deadpool into one of them. When they let Cable know that they knew he was snooping around the whole time, he then check the place out in the open. When Anton Kruch shows Cable "the Deliverance" he also says that they found a way to transmit the facade through the optic nerve, and Cable has been infected. When Cables goes to wreck the machine, Kruch lets Cable know that the facade also blocked his mutant abilities. Then Deadpool begins to fight with Cable.
In issue four, Deadpool and Cable fight quite a bit. Meanwhile, Irene Merryweather is trying to get information out of Sunic, but they aren't giving her much. Next, the readers find out that the batch that was stolen was flawed and that the good one is protected. Deadpool and Cable only stop fighting when Deadpool realizes that Cable isn't looking so good. Then Cable tells Deadpool that he's infected and will start to melt, Deadpool doesn't believe him until it starts happening.
In issue five, Deadpool and Cable are in quite the pickle. Deadpool is crawling over to Cable, but he melts before he gets there. Cable uses the last of his ability to move some of Deadpool's blood to him, which heals him. When Cable throws up, Deadpool grows out of the mess...Deadpool isn't pleased, but at least their both alive again and back on the same team. Then the head to Singapore to take out the real virus. When Cable gets there, their security (the Lightmaster) steps in. The Lightmaster is on One World Church's side, but Cable already knew that. So the plan that the Lightmaster and Anton had blows up, literally.
In issue six, we pick up after the explosion..which had turned everyone but Deadpool and Cable pink. Turns out Cable is behind this trick. The explosion infected everyone with a biological agent that Cable can control. Next we see Hammer and Irene Merryweather planning to save Cable from himself. Meanwhile, Cable is pulling up remnants of a space station that he used to own in order to restore his teleport matrix. What Cable doesn't know is that since he and Deadpool are now genetically bonded, when he goes to teleport, he merges with Deadpool and they have to split. Of course they begin fighting, and then Cable ends up "curing" the population of the virus and is called a savior. However, Deadpool walks away from the situation with the power to teleport just like Cable. In the very end, we see the X-Men approach SHEILD and tell them that they are ready to punish Cable for this stunt.
