Rating:
Deadpool died at the end of #60.
In #61 he watched his own funeral before being welcomed with open arms (literally) by Death, but then was resurrected in his buried coffin with amnesia.
In #62 he was taken in by 3 homeless people (Duke, Popeye and Scuzzy). Then 4 nameless members of Team Deadpool individually appeared. And Weasel ran across the real 1.
In #63 Weasel and the homeless squad got DP's memory back. T-Ray hired the 'Punisher' DP to kill the celebrity DP. 'Superman' DP saved him and 'No Pickles' DP was in the audience and joined in. Real DP, Weasel and the homeless arrived. The 5 DP's all banded together. But then T-Ray showed up ...

... and 'Punisher' DP is really still working for T-Ray so he blows big holes in the other 3 with a gun T gave him. He does the same to the original DP, which doesn't kill him. T-Ray reveals that *he* too is working for someone, and they carry the 4 'bodies' away.
Weasel and the homeless 3 go to get some big guns. They stop a school bus and as expected the kids are all heavily-armed.
T-Ray and co go up a big hill to some monolithic ruins surrounding a tomb labelled 'Deadpool cursed with life'. The tombstone then shows scenes from Wade Wilson's life. Kissing Siryn, the girl who got away, and kissing Death. Team Deadpool, and the Weapon X Program turning him into the being he is now. And his nemesis T-Ray.
T-Ray produces a glowing Gemini Star which he says his boss gave him to bring DP back to life. He says he also used it to extract 4 aspects of DP's personality to create the Team Deadpool. And now he uses it again to bring forth the nerd Wade used to be. But DP grabs it off him and manifests his feminine side (in a DP-ish costume). But she gets sucked back in to be replaced by baby-DP and an older man (grown-up Wilson?).
Then Weasel and the homeless 3 arrive with the kid army who've been promised games consoles. T-Ray grabs the crystal back but it's been broken by Scuzzy barfing on it. Which makes all the personality shards get sucked back into *him*. He collapses and for some reason DP thinks this answers the long-standing question of which of them was the real Wade Wilson, and it's him not T-Ray. And the Gemini Star crumbles to dust. But the armed kids still want the games consoles.
Ignoring that we move on to DP and Weasel bonding on a footbridge. They're joined by the cleaned-up homeless 3. Duke is in a suit and is running for mayor and Scuzzy is his campaign spokesman. Female Popeye is taking T-Ray on a date, who's brain has been addled by the absorbed personalities. Weasel wonders which of Wade's enemies has the cosmic power to create the Gemini Star. DP shrugs it off.
But we see that it's Thanos who's jealous of the affection Death shows to DP. So he's cursed Wilson with life, ie never being able to die and join Death.
