Deadpool #37

Deadpool as a multi-armed deity — seated lotus-style on a blooming pink flower, cradling a sitar while simultaneously brandishing twin pistols, swords, and round bombs against a radiant mandala of weapons — makes for one of the more delightfully absurd cover images of 2015. Mark Brooks's cover art leans into the irreverence with real craft, the warm golden halo of firearms and blades framing Wade's hooded, robed figure with surprising elegance. Tied into the AXIS event, this issue from writers Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn promises the kind of chaotic, off-kilter energy that title suggests.
