About this Collection

Deadpool Classic Vol. 5 continues Marvel's reprint series collecting the Merc with a Mouth's early adventures, featuring issues from the late 1990s and early 2000s. This volume includes the complete 'Deadpool: The Circle Chase' limited series and the 'Deadpool' (1997) series issues #0 and #1-4, showcasing Joe Kelly's defining run that established the character's modern voice and supporting cast.

In "Turning Japanese... or Little Demon Inside," Deadpool journeys to Japan on a mission to protect Oyakata, a man tied to a dangerous past. There, he faces off against Widdle Wade, a clone created from his own legacy, while uncovering secrets from both the past and present that challenge everything he thought he knew. Written by James Felder and illustrated by Pete Woods, with inks by Walden Wong and colors by Shannon Blanchard, this issue blends action and emotional weight, all wrapped in a cover by Pete Woods and Rebecca Shelander.
