☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Marvel's Deadpool Classic series collects issues #-1, #1-4 of the 1997 ongoing series, plus the Deadpool/Death '98 Annual. It follows the Merc with a Mouth as he navigates a bounty on his head, clashes with the villainous Black Box, and teams up with Weasel and Jack Hammer, all while dealing with his fractured psyche and a mysterious figure from his past.
In "Ssshhhhhhhhh! (or Heroes Reburned)," Deadpool and Al navigate a time-twisted mission with Weasel and the GLA, using a clever ruse to manipulate a younger, nerdy Weasel into fixing a teleporter. Written by Joe Kelly and Stan Lee, with art by Pete Woods and John Romita, the story unfolds with chaotic wit and a touch of heart, as Deadpool impersonates Peter Parker—complete with a grumpy Aunt May played by Al—while Kraven the Hunter and a surprisingly lively Peter Parker crew throw curveballs. The cover by Walter McDaniel and Anibal Rodriguez captures the madness in bold, dynamic style.
In "Ssshhhhhhhhh! (or Heroes Reburned)," Deadpool’s latest mission takes a bizarre turn when he’s lured into a seemingly heroic quest by a mysterious stranger, only to find himself ensnared in Deathtrap’s elaborate death traps. With Al’s prankster antics turning dangerously real and his trust in Patch’s judgment tested, DP must navigate a twisted game where even his own gear has been tampered with—while Al and Weasel share a surprisingly revealing moment in the chaos.
In "Road-Trip Roulette!", Deadpool and Al spend a surprisingly chaotic day at the Bay City Aquarium, where even the fish seem to be plotting something. When the Lightning Rods—unbeknownst to most, the Great Lakes Avengers now under Thunderbolts oversight—show up for a team-building outing, things spiral into full-blown aquatic madness. Just as Weasel attempts to teleport Deadpool and Doorman activates his powers at the same moment, the two are flung into a whirlwind of time and confusion.
In a delightfully chaotic twist of fate, Deadpool and Al—disguised as Peter Parker and a famously grumpy Aunt May—navigate the past to fix a broken teleporter, all while dodging Kraven the Hunter and a surprisingly rowdy party of Peter’s friends. With Weasel’s help hanging in the balance, Deadpool’s usual brand of mischievous manipulation takes a darkly comedic turn, testing loyalty and timing in ways that could rewrite history—if not for a very nervous Watcher holding his breath.
In "The Drowning Man Part 1 (Or Things to Do in Iowa When You're Deadpool)," Deadpool hits the road with Weasel, chasing leads on Siryn while dodging both his own unraveling mind and a looming showdown with T-Ray. Along the way, he crosses paths with Zoe’s ominous warning, battles Warpath at a surreal Field of Dreams, and stumbles into a messy, beer-soaked reunion with Teresa—where laughter and violence blur into something neither of them quite expected.
In "In Absentia," Deadpool’s sudden death sends shockwaves through the fractured remnants of his past: T-Ray retreats to Hellhouse to reconnect with Mary, while Ajax turns his bloodlust on old Weapon X allies. Meanwhile, Al and Weasel face their own trials in "the box," where a fleeting moment of camaraderie leads to a permanent parting. When Deadpool returns—unexpectedly alive—his reunion with Zoe hints at a new chapter, one still shrouded in mystery.
In "Win, Lose, or Draw Blood," Deadpool’s latest mission in Greece takes a wild turn when he reunites with his old acquaintance Bullseye—just as Ajax arrives at Hellhouse with a score to settle. The chaos unfolds with Deadpool’s signature blend of humor and mayhem, as he navigates a high-stakes game with deadly consequences.
In "You Want Me to Do What?!", Deadpool grapples with the unsettling realization that Landau, Luckman, and Lake have been quietly scripting his fate all along—prompting a hasty retreat home to reconcile with Al. Meanwhile, Ajax zeroes in on Killebrew, turning the screws on a story already spiraling into chaos.
In "In the Hands of the Hunter!" from Deadpool Classic #3, Peter finds his plans for a groovy farewell party for Flash derailed when Kraven the Hunter shows up uninvited, hunting Norman Osborn with deadly intent. The night turns chaotic as the party’s laid-back vibe shatters under the weight of a predator’s presence.
