Deadpool #2

Part of Marvel's 2023 "Destiny of X" era, this issue pairs the Merc with a Mouth against one of Spider-Man's most notorious foes — and the cover makes the confrontation immediately clear. A snarling Doctor Octopus, his glowing orange goggles blazing and a mechanical tentacle looming overhead, grabs what appears to be Deadpool's katana-wielding arm, while a speech bubble cheekily taunts, "What's up, Ock?" Alyssa Wong writes and Martin Coccolo delivers a cover full of kinetic menace, with the story title "Comrades at Arms (and Arms and Arms)" hinting that this unlikely pairing might be more complicated than a simple brawl.
