Despicable Deadpool #293

Part two of "Bucket List" arrives with a cover that perfectly captures the tension and absurdity of Deadpool's world: the Merc with a Mouth sits casually in the foreground, plucking petals from a daisy with his katanas crossed behind him, while Rogue looms overhead straining to hurl a massive boulder his way, her X-Men uniform and furious expression leaving no doubt about the state of their friendship. The contrast between Deadpool's breezy indifference and Rogue's all-out effort gives this Mike Hawthorne cover a genuinely funny energy that's hard to shake. Gerry Duggan, Matteo Lolli, and Ruth Redmond bring their 2018 Marvel Legacy run to a charged new chapter that promises things between these two are about to get very messy.
