Deadpool #56

Hearts fill the background as Deadpool — dressed in a tuxedo but still masked — leans in close to a red-haired woman in a tender, romantic moment, while two cherubs (one armed, naturally) flank the couple with speech bubbles teasing "This is it, lovers!" and "The moment you've been waiting for!" Karl Kerschl's cover for this 2001 Marvel issue perfectly captures Deadpool's signature blend of absurdity and unexpected sincerity. With a story titled "Going Out with a Bang," this issue promises that whatever Wade Wilson has planned for Valentine's Day, it won't be entirely conventional.
