Deadpool #69

Deadpool goes full-throttle in this 2002 finale of the "Healing Factor" arc, with Gail Simone and the Udon art team closing out the story in style. The cover by Alvin Lee and Rob Ross puts Wade Wilson right in the thick of a chaotic indoor firefight — guns blazing, a fierce flying kick connecting, and a crowd of armed adversaries converging from every direction. It's a kinetic, confidently composed image that captures exactly why Deadpool's particular brand of mayhem is so hard to look away from.
