Cable / Deadpool #13

The cover of this 2005 Marvel issue leans into classic film-noir style, presenting Deadpool — dressed in a fedora and trenchcoat, pistol raised — alongside a glamorous red-haired woman in a black dress and long gloves identified as Irene Merryweather, the two of them styled like characters straight out of a hardboiled detective picture. Penciled by Patrick Zircher and inked by Crystal Reid, it's a genuinely striking image that sets a moody, genre-bending tone for "A Murder in Paradise, Part One." Fabian Nicieza and Patrick Zircher deliver what promises to be a fun, stylish departure for the Cable & Deadpool series.
