Basilisk

Hatched from the wild, irreverent corner of Marvel that Joe Kelly and Yancey Labat built around one of comics' most unpredictable anti-heroes, Basilisk made their debut in Deadpool #0 in 1998 — a Modern Age birth right in the thick of that book's gloriously chaotic heyday. With only a handful of catalog appearances spanning an impressive 25 years of reprints and collections, this is a character whose footprint is small but whose address is impeccable, sharing pages with the likes of Blind Al, Bucky, and Porcupine in some of Deadpool's most celebrated storylines. If you're diving into Deadpool by Joe Kelly: The Complete Collection — widely regarded as the definitive run — Basilisk is one of those intriguing pieces of that larger, wonderfully strange puzzle worth keeping an eye out for.
