The volume includes the complete Joe Kelly run that defined the character's irreverent voice and fourth-wall-breaking humor.
In "The Beginning of the End, Part One," Sunspot grapples with the shocking news of his father’s death, while Deadpool—working for Mr. Tolliver—launches a brutal assault on Cable. Domino intercepts the attack, forcing a tense alliance between Cable and Domino as they devise a counterstrategy.

In "Friendly Reminders," Deadpool crashes the X-Force base with a mix of chaos and personal stakes, tracking down a traitor he believes is the mercenary Domino—only to discover the real threat is far more intimate.

In "If Looks Could Kill!", Black Tom's desperate struggle against his wooden infection brings him to a prison medical trial led by Dr. Killebrew, but when Juggernaut storms the facility to steal the doctor, chaos erupts.

In "Deadpool Sandwich," chaos reigns as Deadpool finds himself caught between a brutal brawl with Juggernaut and a high-stakes showdown with Interpol agent Daniel Peyer—whose true motives are far from what they seem.
