Deadpool (1997-2002) #24 by Joe Kelly, Matt Hicks, Walter McDaniel, Whitney McFarland
3.0

In this issue, we pick up with Dixon showing Captain America a recording of how the Tiamat taking out a whole group of men in under a minute. While Dixon is "filling" Captain America in, Captain keeps repeating "Monster." But he isn't talking about the Tiamat, he's talking about Dixon because he can see right through him. Captain calls him out for having technology that is able to see the future and still sending a hundred men to their deaths. Captain America asks to see the proof of the Messiah before he goes off to fight for Dixon and he's having a hard time buying what Dixon is telling him. When Dixon shows him Monty, Captain is very angry that it 1) looks like Monty is in severe pain, and 2) that Dixon keeps calling Monty an "it." Monty reaches out and called Captain by his real name, Steve, and tells him that Nightmare wasn't his fault and that he must stop the Tiamat "in the sand." Soon, Captain is teleported to Egypt.

When Captain decides that he will fight, he and Dixon leave Monty. This is when Gerry the Bum shows himself to Monty and tells him that Zoe is alive. Later, we see Culloden and Al sitting on a bench in San Francisco Golden Gate Park. They areguing about whether or not Deadpool is still alive when Gerry Lequarre (Gerry the bum, the fourth L of LL&L) appears. He tells Culloden that while she thought he was dead, he was really in hiding, getting Deadpool and the second stringer (Captain America) ready for this fight. One problem though, he's lost Deadpool...
