“Hey, It's Deadpool! or... Deadpool #1”
★ 1st appearance — Blind Al

Deadpool #1 kicks off with the Merc with a Mouth back from a Bolivia mission—armed with revolutionary cash and a sharp tongue—before jetting to Antarctica to take on Sasquatch and a dangerous gamma research station. When the situation spirals into a continent-wide meltdown, Deadpool’s usual chaos takes a surprising turn as he steps in to prevent disaster. Writer Joe Kelly and artist Ed McGuinness launch the series with a high-octane, irreverent tone, while the cover by Ed McGuinness and Jim Lee captures Deadpool’s signature flair.

After assisting a revolution in Bolivia (and getting paid in revolutionary bucks), Deadpool heads back to merc central to have words with Patch. Deadpool’s next mission takes him to Antarctica to tangle with Sasquatch and blow up a gamma research station in the process. Finding out that the melting gamma core will irradiate the entire southern hemisphere, Deadpool fixes the problem and saves the day. Deadpool is approached by Zoe and Noah and offered a position with Landau, Luckman and Lake but he quickly turns them down as being a good guy isn't exactly his style.
