Love is in the air as Deadpool takes his new romance, Valentine Vuong, out on the town! Unfortunately, bullets, blades and explosive devices are also in the air – since both of them have enemies who want them dead! What do trained killers do when trained killers try to kill them? Naturally, they try to kill those trained killers first! After all of this, Wade Wilson will need a break. All he wants to do is retire, have a nice time with his daughter and be completely cured of his cancer – is that too much to ask? Maybe not? But when he’s captured by the mysterious Horned Emperor, can even Deadpool’s new paramour – or his giant symbiote dog – save the Merc with a Mouth? Or is he heading for heartbreak?!
