Cable / Deadpool #9

Deadpool charges straight at the viewer on Patrick Zircher's cover for this third chapter of "The Burnt Offering" — pistol leveled, katanas strapped to his back, and a crowd of recognizable figures scrambling in the background, including what appears to be Wolverine and a dark-armored opponent amid bursts of gunfire and chaos. Fabian Nicieza's 2005 run on this unlikely team-up continues to deliver the perfect blend of mayhem and mercenary attitude. If you've been following Cable and Deadpool's turbulent partnership, this issue promises the action-packed momentum the arc has been building toward.
