In this issue, Deadpool appears at the door of Ilaney Brukner (who has seemingly had a very rough life, which is why she is a hermit now) with Doctor Killebrew over his shoulder. Ilaney brings out a shotgun and tells Deadpool to leave. Unfortunately, the shot gun blasts have lead Ajax right to them. Deadpool comes up with a scheme that results in Ilaney's home being wrecked by an avalanche... The three (Deadpool, Ilaney, and Killebrew) take off on a snowmobile, but their combined weight is too much and it breaks down. They find a place to build a fire and Ilaney starts asking Deadpool questions. We find out why Ajax is trying to kill Deadpool- because Deadpool shot him point blank with automatic assault rifles and blew away his torso. Instead of dying, Doctor Killebrew worked on him and now he is the only one that knows how to kill him. Except that's not true...Killebrew lied. He has no idea how to kill Ajax. Three spirits appear and tell Deadpool that he needs to kill Ajax so they will finally be free. Later on, Killebrew tells Deadpool that he doesn't know how to kill Ajax after all, and it doesn't go well. Then Ajax shows up...

Favorite lines:
"...that would hurt my feewings."-Deadpool

"You speak German?"-Ilaney "Yeah, you should see me in Lederhosen..."-Deadpool

"Hey Ajax? Time out, okay? Uh...I got snow in my waistband and it's chafing..."-Deadpool

"Shove a sock in it, Woodsy...or I'll rearrange yer beak for eatin' that kids Tootsie Pop when all he wanted was a little advice."-Deadpool to an owl in the woods

Favorite scene:
All of page 15- Deadpool breaks the 4th wall and talks to the reader, mocks ghosts, and sings.
