Deadpool #58

Deadpool in a tutu — yes, really — leaps center-stage on Dave Johnson's cover for this 2012 Marvel issue, arms raised as ghostly silhouettes of the Merc with a Mouth crowd the background behind him. The cover text promises "Deadpool vs. Black Swan *Uh…no, the Super Villain," which tells you everything you need to know about the tone Daniel Way and Salva Espín are going for in "Blacklisted Part 1." It's the perfect blend of absurdity and action that makes Deadpool such a consistently entertaining corner of the Marvel universe.
