Somehow that pales in comparison to what happens to the AoA version of the Blob later in the Dark Angel Saga. Remender really sells  very literal expressions of Apocalypse's horsemen.
Remender really sold me on Deadpool at the beginning of the second arc with his reaction to Fantomex's actions in the first. That was…

It shouldn't be too hard to follow. While he references a lot of X-men history, Remender plays pretty fast and loose with it. He basically takes the general concepts of things like the age of apocalypse and takes or leaves what happened previously depending on how it suits his story.
