Deadpool #54

In "End of the Road [Part 1]," Deadpool takes on a high-stakes contract from the last surviving member of Ma Gnucci's crime family, who offers him a cool $3 million to eliminate the Punisher—though the actual terms are less about the money and more about how far Deadpool will go to stretch a joke. Written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Buddy Scalera, with Georges Jeanty's sharp art and Jon Holdredge's inks bringing the chaos to life, this issue kicks off a brutal, darkly comedic showdown that pushes Deadpool’s limits—both in skill and sanity. The cover by Steve Dillon captures the grim absurdity perfectly.
