Deadpool #18

Deadpool and the heavily armored Ajax clash in a brutal mid-air collision on Walter McDaniel and John Livesay's kinetic cover, with Deadpool driving a sword straight at his opponent while Ajax meets him with matching ferocity. The cover copy promises a showdown rooted in Deadpool's "tortured past," setting up what looks to be a deeply personal confrontation. Joe Kelly's "Payback Part One: Karmic Relief" arrives in July 1998 with the kind of cover energy that makes it hard to put back on the shelf.
