Deadpool #12

Deadpool seated on a throne surrounded by demon-adorned armrests, casually clutching a golden orb while a small pink creature bristling with katanas perches beside him — all with a towering horned demon looming overhead amid swirling hellfire — sets a wonderfully absurd tone for this 2013 Marvel NOW! installment. Writers Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan lean into the infernal chaos, and Tradd Moore's cover art frames it all with vivid, fiery energy that perfectly suits a story titled "Damned If You Win, Damned If You Lose." Mike Hawthorne and colorist Val Staples carry that energy inside, making issue #12 a genuinely fun entry in this run.
