Deadpool #30

Part of Marvel's 2014 "Original Sin" crossover event, this issue pairs Deadpool with a blonde, blue-faced rock star in a scene that crackles with unexpected showbiz energy. Mark Brooks's cover places a mic-swinging, studded-belt-wearing singer front and center while a guitar-strapped Deadpool — decked out in a red bandana and glowing yellow eyes — looms behind a wall of speaker stacks. Writers Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn, with art by John Lucas and colors by Val Staples, deliver what the title "The Brave and the Blonde" promises: an offbeat team-up with genuine personality to spare.
