Deadpool: Assassin #1

Deadpool strikes a self-satisfied pose front and center on this 2018 Marvel series opener, dual pistols raised and twin katanas crossed behind his shoulders — all while sporting a cheeky "Make Mine Marvel" Spider-Man pin on his chest. Mark Bagley's pencils and John Dell's inks give Wade Wilson a hulking, confident presence against a teal background dotted with blood spatter, setting the tone for a series that leans hard into the merc-for-hire premise. Writer Cullen Bunn teams with this art crew for what promises to be a sharp, irreverent assassin-focused chapter in Deadpool's history.
