In "Wave of Mutilation Part 1: Profiteerin' L.A.M.F.", Deadpool navigates a bizarre day in California, starting with a surreal chat with a dead shark before boarding a cruise ship after a chaotic pirate ship mishap. After escaping detection in San Francisco, he tries to blend in—rollerblading, drinking in a bar, and watching TV—only to see Cyclops announce Utopia as a sanctuary for mutants, which Deadpool takes as a personal invitation to join the X-Men. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Paco Medina, with inks by Juan Vlasco and colors by Marte Gracia and Antonio Fabela, the issue features a cover by Jason Pearson.
