Foolkiller: Psycho Therapy by
2.0
Greg Salinger (the second individual in the Marvel Universe to take on the Foolkiller sobriquet) has settled down from a life of vigilantism and mercenary action, returned to his work as a psychiatrist, and treats low level super-criminals in an effort to turn them around.
And then he starts killing them, first as an accident, and then when he thinks they can't be redeemed. It's a compelling concept that sadly fails under the weight of additional plot elements (a girlfriend with a past, the surprising return of [supervillain name redacted], and a Deadpool appearance). If this was a twelve issue series with time for a more introspective look, I would have been more entranced. As it is, I reread this to see if I'm keeping it in my collection and I'm not.
