It turns out that Wade wants the egg, and tries to convince Rogue that he laid it or pooped it. (I believe it's the underrated female writer component.) Deadpool is already regrowing his vital organs. Rogue's invulnerability sees her through the crash without a scratch, while the spacesuit is fancy enough to avoid strategic shredding. (Presumably, it works on all species in the empire, rather than just the feathery kind.) Cerise breaks out a teleporter that she attunes to the Shi'ar's bio-signatures and uses to take them far away. Unfortunately, at that point, the guard shoot down the ship with Rogue, Deadpool, and the egg. Gambit springs her cuffs, but tells Cerise to wait until he is free before making a move. The book opens on the former honeymoon ship where Gambit and Cerise have been taken captive by the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. I enjoyed his presence, I laughed a lot, he works well to bring in some fun tension, but it felt very Deadpool-centric at times. Like, he exists to steal the scene and get the best line, and he ends up doing that some of the time. They really do make a great team on the field. You see their respective skills, and see how they compliment each other. Gambit and Rogue both have moments to shine. Rogue gives him no reason to experience greater jealousy. He does call her 'my bride' a lot, which seems deliberate. Gambit is mildly jealous, but in the 'it's not my business I'm married to you now' way. There is not even the slightest hint of a love triangle, unless you count the threesome that seems to be permanently happening in Deadpool's mind.

It's funny, fast-paced, and just generally delightful. To steal a line from the issue, this book is *chef kiss* perfection. Let's get the obvious out of the way first.
