☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDeadpool 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.
In a wild mix of past and present, Deadpool finds himself tangled in a bizarre mission in Japan, where he’s tasked with protecting Oyakata from a deadly threat—only to face off against a bizarre clone named Widdle Wade. As he battles his smaller, more chaotic doppelgänger, flashbacks reveal a surprising reunion with Sazae, daughter of the man Deadpool once wronged, setting off a chain of revelations that blur the line between redemption and chaos.
In the chaotic aftermath of Dead Reckoning, Deadpool sets up shop in Bolivia with his new crew—Monty and Ilaney—only to find himself tangled in a series of increasingly bizarre misadventures. When he spots a mysterious woman riding a giant sabretooth rabbit instead of the AIM agents he’s supposed to be hunting, he finally admits he might need help—and Dr. Bong is all too happy to confirm he’s flippin’ nuts.
In "It's a Barbarian Bunny-- Busty Broad Bonanza in the Brainpan -- And I'm the Only One Invited!", Deadpool’s latest session with Dr. Bong takes a surreal turn when the doctor suggests a little chaos to clear Jo’s mind. After a punch to Kitty’s face and a brawl with Wolverine, the line between therapy and madness blurs in this wildly unpredictable, 23-page comic from Deadpool Classic #5.
In "I Can't Place the Name, But the Face Rings a Southern Belle...", Deadpool follows a haunting vision of his late wife Mercedes, drawn into a twisted game where memory and menace collide. With Bullseye closing in, determined to erase her once more, Deadpool must confront the blurred line between grief and illusion—before the past becomes a permanent death sentence.
In "Take My Wife... Please! (or Cock-a-Voodle-Doo)," Deadpool's long-lost wife Mercedes returns from his past, sparking a chaotic reunion that quickly spirals into a zombie-infested showdown. With the Black Talon and a horde of undead closing in, Deadpool must protect the woman he thought he’d lost—only to learn her fate is far more tangled than he ever imagined.
In "Truth and Lies," Wade revisits memories with Mercedes as he teams up with Patch and his former mercenary allies in the chaotic confines of Hellhouse. When T-Ray resurfaces and brutally attacks Monty, Deadpool realizes the past isn’t just haunting him—it’s fighting back.
In "Sploorch (or The Begining of the End...)," Deadpool brings the injured Monty to Landau, Luckman and Lake, where the stern Zoe isn’t thrilled to see him—arresting the merc with a mouth on the spot. But when Monty confesses his feelings for her, Zoe’s resolve wavers, leading her to quit the firm, free Deadpool, and vanish with her new love via teleporter. The twist? Deadpool and Mercedes end up on the receiving end of the same jump—right into T-Ray’s waiting grasp.
In "I'm Not So Me as You Think I Am... (Or The Middle of the End...)" from Deadpool Classic #5, Deadpool and T-Ray confront each other in a brutal, memory-laced battle that forces Pool to relive the past. As their fight unfolds through fragmented recollections, the truth of Mercedes Wilson’s death begins to unravel—revealing a version of events far more personal and devastating than either man expected.
In "The End of the End (or Happy Entrails to You...)," Deadpool faces a mind-bending twist: T-Ray is actually his own past self, and he’s been the one who killed his wife. With that truth hanging in the air, Deadpool shrugs it off and charges into battle with T-Ray and Mercedes. After a brutal, unresolved fight, he’s forced to confront every victim he’s ever killed—only to face a final, unexpected reunion with Death.
