☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the final chapters of Daniel Way's lengthy Deadpool run, wrapping up the Merc with a Mouth's ongoing conflict with the villainous Headcanon organization. The story pits Deadpool against Bullseye and Silver Sable while also featuring significant moments for Domino, as Wade Wilson's chaotic past catches up with him in a climactic showdown. It's the 17th entry in the Deadpool Classic line, reprinting issues from the tail end of Way's tenure on the series.
In "Wade Wilson's War Part 1," Deadpool spins a wild tale for a skeptical Senate, claiming his team, Team X, are delusional experiments turned heroes—only to twist the narrative when he and Domino reveal themselves as super-powered assassins sent to eliminate corrupt senators. Written by Duane Swierczynski and illustrated by Jason Pearson, with inks by Dexter Vines and colors by Paul Mounts, this issue blurs reality and fiction in a razor-sharp, meta-driven thriller. The cover by Jason Pearson captures the chaos perfectly.
In "Wade Wilson's War Part 2," Deadpool spins his own gloriously chaotic version of his past to a skeptical Senate, recounting his time with Team X in his trademark irreverent style. Meanwhile, the real architects of Team X scramble to reconcile their own secret history with the wildly exaggerated tale he's telling—because someone’s version of the truth just might blow their entire operation sky-high.
In "Me and You and a Dog Named Pool," Deadpool faces a grueling Senate hearing over a past mission with Team X, where he’s accused of war crimes after surveillance footage appears to show him and Domino slaughtering innocent bystanders in Mexico. As he fights to clear his name, Domino is called to testify—turning the hearing into a tense, unpredictable showdown of truth, memory, and survival.
In "null," Deadpool is recruited for a high-stakes mission to recover a stolen nuclear briefcase, pitting his chaotic instincts against a government that fears his fractured mind. Sent despite failing every psychological test, Wade Wilson must confront the weight of his past as a tortured POW while navigating a mission that tests the limits of loyalty and sanity.
In "null," Deadpool tracks down Outlaw, the rogue CIA agent he once loved, after she steals a nuclear briefcase. What begins as a tense reunion over dinner and a dance quickly turns deadly when she shoots him and vanishes—unaware that Cable and Stryfe have sent him on a mission fueled by more than just duty.
In "null," Deadpool finds himself captured in Cuba by Stryfe, who's working with Outlaw to exploit a nuclear briefcase with global stakes. With only one of two keys in play and Cable racing to stop a looming cold war, Deadpool’s chaotic mission takes a dangerous turn—again.
In "null," Deadpool confronts a twisted truth: the traumatic years he believed he endured in a Japanese POW camp were a fabrication, a lie spun by Stryfe during a captivity in Cuba meant to break him and turn him into a sleeper agent. As the programming activates, Wade must battle the voices in his head—his own fractured mind—while trying to stop Outlaw, the woman he thought he could trust, from detonating a stolen nuclear briefcase.
