Deadpool Team-Up #1
In "Merc with a Myth," Deadpool—still mid-dig for a mob goon’s head—gets buried alive by mysterious attackers, only to claw his way out and track them down: the flamboyant Zapata brothers, devoted fans who never realized they’d just buried the man they idolize. With a shared enemy looming and a wild mix of chaos and camaraderie, the trio forms an unlikely alliance to uncover the truth behind the ambush. Written by Mike Benson and illustrated by Carlo Barberi, with inks by Juan Vlasco, colors by Marte Gracia, and letters by VC's Joe Sabino, the cover by Humberto Ramos captures the issue’s irreverent flair.
