Deadpool #21

In "Dead Reckoning Minus Two Months & Counting: Smells Like Prologue," Deadpool’s chaotic path toward becoming the Mithras takes a sharp turn when Zoe attempts to arm him with battle armor—only for him to reject it in favor of his trademark brand of mayhem. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Noah and Dixon over Monty’s erased memories, and Gerry seeks counsel from Doc Strange as the looming clash with Tiamat draws nearer. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Walter McDaniel, with inks by John Livesay and colors by Matt Hicks, this issue blends dark intrigue with Deadpool’s signature irreverence. The cover, also by McDaniel and Livesay, captures the uneasy energy of a world on the brink.
