Deadpool #15

Part one of "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" arrives in fine style, with Declan Shalvey's cover depicting Deadpool, Captain America, and Wolverine leaping together through a storm of gunfire and flames — a trio of heavy hitters silhouetted against a smoldering golden haze while shadowy armed figures open fire below. Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, and Shalvey (with Jordie Bellaire's rich colors) made this five-part arc one of 2013's most anticipated Deadpool runs, and that cover alone telegraphs the chaotic, high-stakes energy waiting inside. If you've ever wanted to see the Merc with a Mouth fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with two of Marvel's most tenacious heroes, this is where that story begins.
