Deadpool #16

In "Want You to Want Me Part Two: No Man Is an Island," Deadpool’s chaotic bid to join the X-Men on Utopia hits a wall when Cyclops refuses—until Dagger steps in. With Wolverine’s wary approval, Domino is assigned to monitor the Merc with a Mouth, leading to a brutal beatdown, a pancake breakfast, and a surprising probationary spot on the team. Donning his makeshift uniform, Deadpool vows to prove himself by taking down Mercury’s father, a move that sets off a tense chain of events on Utopia. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Paco Medina, with inks by Juan Vlasco, colors by Marte Gracia, and letters by Virtual Calligraphy and Joe Sabino, the cover by Jason Pearson captures the issue’s sharp, irreverent edge.
