Deadpool by Joe Kelly: The Complete Collection #2
In "The Drowning Man Part 1 or Things to Do in Iowa When You're Deadpool," Joe Kelly and artist Shannon Denton kick off a wild, offbeat journey as Deadpool, teetering on the edge of madness, teams up with Weasel in search of Siryn—only to run headfirst into T-Ray, who sets a grim appointment for their final clash. Along the way, he’s warned by Zoe, dodges Warpath at a surreal Iowa baseball field, and finds himself tangled in a storm of romance and recklessness, where Teresa’s patience wears thin—until a late-night reunion under the stars changes everything. The cover by Walter McDaniel and Anibal Rodriguez captures the issue’s chaotic charm, while the full creative team delivers a story that’s equal parts absurd, heartfelt, and utterly unpredictable.

With his sanity slipping, Deadpool hits the road with Weasel in search of Siryn. Instead, he finds T-Ray who sets a time and a date for their final showdown. He also encounters Zoe who warns him to stay away from T-Ray and certain death. When he finally catches up with Siryn in Iowa (at the "Field of Dreams" baseball field, no less), he has to punch his way through Warpath to get to her. Teresa gets mad at the violence and the jokes and ditches him. But later that night, after Deadpool has drowned his sorrows in scads of beer, she returns to the baseball diamond and the two get it on.
