Deadpool V. Gambit #5

 Deadpool V Gabit: The "V" Is for "Vs.", Issue #5 concludes the mini-series. Deadpool, Gambit, and a con man named Chalmers are all after the Dragon's Tongue, a mystical artifact that gives its bearer unheard of powers. The journey to find the Dragon's Tongue takes them all over, even to Asgard, where they meet with Odin. This comic involves a host of recurring characters, like the mutant Kin Il Sung from the previous issue and Fat Cobra from earlier on.  

This series is good enough to read, but I don't know how strongly I'd recommend it. It does start to make more sense near the end, but it's confusing at points. Maybe I just don't read Marvel comics as closely as I read Marcel Proust or Umberto Eco, but I have the feeling I missed a lot. They joke about this at the end, in true Deadpool fashion.
