Deadpool Epic Collection #4

In "Turning Japanese...or Little Demon Inside," Deadpool is pulled into a bizarre mission when the Boss asks him to protect Oyakata in Japan—only to face off against a bizarre clone named Widdle Wade. As the chaos unfolds, past and present collide when Deadpool reconnects with Sazae, the daughter of his old ally, and learns a truth that reshapes how she sees him.

In "You Only Die Twice," Deadpool goes on a grimly hilarious hunt for Arnim Zola, only to find himself facing a bizarre army of poorly executed clones—each a laughably lackluster version of some of the Marvel Universe’s most forgettable deceased characters. The story thrives on Deadpool’s signature mix of brutality and absurdity, turning a dead-end mission into a gloriously ridiculous showdown.

In "Dead Reckoning Minus Two Months & Counting: Smells Like Prologue," Zoe pushes Deadpool to embrace his destiny as Mithras, equipping him with battle armor—only for him to laugh it off in favor of his trademark chaos. Meanwhile, Noah and Dixon clash over Monty’s erased memories, and Gerry seeks counsel from Doc Strange as the looming threat of Tiamat draws near.

In "Dead Reckoning Minus One Month & Counting: Great Men," Deadpool’s plans for a quiet moment with Siryn are interrupted by a surprise visit from Zoe and Monty, while his attempts to uncover the truth behind the Mithras Directive lead to a clash with Cable. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Dixon makes a chilling decision that leaves questions hanging—just as the countdown to the world’s salvation begins.

In "Dead Reckoning Part 1," Deadpool embraces his fated role as the Mithras, hunting the alien threat Tiamat across a fractured landscape of fate and folly. As Zoe tries to warn him of an inevitable defeat, Dixon cuts the mission short—leaving Deadpool to flee, wounded, only to return home and discover a bomb waiting in his own front door.

In "Dead Reckoning Part 2: 2nd Stringers & Dead Ringers," Zoe and Al wake to find themselves alive after the explosion that killed Deadpool—only to realize he’s vanished without a trace. With Dixon rallying Captain America to take up the mantle of the Mithras and Tiamat spreading word of the hero’s demise, the stakes rise as Gerry reaches out to Zoe, claiming to be the missing partner of Landau, Luckman & Lake. Meanwhile, the Watcher watches in dread as a colossal alien threat looms over Earth, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

In the scorching desert of Egypt, Deadpool faces his ultimate test—not as a mercenary, but as a reluctant hero, stepping into a role even the most iconic suit-wearing warrior couldn’t fulfill. With a cosmic messiah offering peace through the surrender of free will, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, and Jo must decide what kind of hero she’s willing to become.

In the aftermath of the mind-bending Dead Reckoning, Deadpool relocates to Bolivia with his new crew, Monty and Ilaney, chasing chaos with his usual flair. When he spots a mysterious woman riding a giant sabretooth rabbit instead of the AIM agents he’s expecting, his already fractured reality takes another sharp turn—leading him to seek help from his chosen shrink, Dr. Bong, who doesn’t mince words.

In "I Can't Place the Name, But the Face Rings a Southern Belle...", Deadpool follows a haunting vision of his late wife Mercedes, chasing a ghost that may be real—or just another twist in his fractured mind. With Bullseye closing in, determined to finish what he started, the line between memory and menace blurs in this intense, emotionally charged chapter.

In "Take My Wife... Please! (or Cock-A-Voodle-Doo)," Deadpool’s long-lost wife, Mercedes, unexpectedly reenters his chaotic life—only to be thrust into a bloody showdown when the Black Talon and a horde of zombies descend upon them. As Deadpool fights to protect her, he’s stunned to learn the zombie master believes Mercedes is already dead... or worse, something else entirely.

In "Truth and Lies," Wade revisits memories with Jo as he joins Patch and his former mercenary allies in a defiant stand at Hellhouse, where T-Ray’s grip begins to tighten. With Monty left hanging and the past stirring, Deadpool finds himself drawn back into a conflict that refuses to stay buried.

In "Sploorch (or The Beginning of the End...)," Deadpool brings the wounded Monty to the enigmatic Landau, Luckman and Lake, where he’s met with hostility by Zoe—until Monty’s unexpected affection for her sparks a surprising shift. With Zoe abandoning her post to flee with Monty, Deadpool and Mercedes are left stranded, hurtling through a teleporter that drops them straight into T-Ray’s clutches.

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, the man who killed his wife. With that truth hanging in the air, Deadpool doesn’t flinch—he fights on, clashing with T-Ray and Mercedes in a battle that ends in chaos. Then, pushed beyond the edge, he must confront every victim he’s ever killed, facing death again and again—until he’s nearly gone, and fate brings him face to face with an old flame: Death.
