Cable & Deadpool #39

Skottie Young's cover for this May 2007 issue says it all with playful menace: a looming, glowing-eyed figure with wild red dreadlocks and a bandaged nose towers over two voodoo dolls styled as Cable and Deadpool — both stitched, pinned, and thoroughly at the mercy of whatever's lurking above them. Fabian Nicieza scripts "Mistaken Identities," and that cover image makes a convincing case that our duo may be in way over their heads. Tied into the World War Hulk event, this issue promises the kind of chaotic, self-aware fun that made Cable & Deadpool one of Marvel's most entertaining team-up books of the era.
