Deadpool #52
The cover of Deadpool #52 — "Dead Part Three" — delivers the series' signature dark comedy in one perfectly deadpan image: a robed, scythe-wielding Grim Reaper cradles a tiny Deadpool in one arm while sipping a cocktail, letting out a weary "Sigh" as Wade cheerfully holds up a sign reading "Well… It's About Time!" The skull-covered background and the Death figure's exasperated body language say everything about what it's like to finally have the Merc with a Mouth in your grasp. Dave Johnson's cover art is sharp, funny, and genuinely hard to walk past on a shelf, making this April 2012 installment from the creative team of Daniel Way and Alé Garza one to seek out.

X-Force finally figures out that Deadpool has duped them into a meaningless conflict with the Kingpin (mostly when Deadpool does his level best to allow the Kingpin to escape during an all out brawl). See, Deadpool is trying to get somebody, anybody, to inject him with a serum that will negate his healing factor and allow him to die. He tries to get Kingpin to do it. He tries to get Tombstone to do it. He tries to get Daken to do it. But it is finally his good buddy Bob that actually does it.
