About this Issue

This 48-page one-shot carries two genuine debut milestones: it marks the first comic-book appearance of Kidpool — the child Deadpool variant who broke through to mainstream audiences in the 2024 blockbuster film Deadpool & Wolverine — and it introduces Jillian Jensen (in flashback) and her super-powered alter ego Aarchon to the printed page for the first time. Beyond those firsts, the issue consciously mirrors the beloved Spider-Man/Deadpool dynamic one generational tier lower, pairing Spider-Boy Bailey Briggs with a foul-mouthed adolescent mercenary in a structural echo that expands the Spider-Man corner of the Marvel Universe in a fresh direction. Its Christmas Day 2024 on-sale date gave it an unusual cultural footprint, and its inclusion in the Spider-Boy: Full Circle trade paperback has anchored it as a bookend to Dan Slott's foundational run on the Spider-Boy ongoing series.

History

Marvel announced the one-shot in November 2024, capitalizing on immediate fan enthusiasm for Kidpool's appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, which had released earlier that summer. Writer Christopher Yost — a veteran of the X-Men animated and comics spaces — was tapped alongside a multi-artist team of Nathan Stockman, Jed Dougherty, and Chris Campana, with covers by Humberto Ramos (who also co-created Spider-Boy with Dan Slott). The book was edited by Nick Lowe under Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and went to a December 25, 2024 street date, an uncommon Christmas Day release. The issue was subsequently collected in the Spider-Boy Vol. 4: Full Circle trade paperback, tying it into the close of Dan Slott's twenty-issue Spider-Boy run.

Trivia · 8 facts

First comic-book appearance of Kidpool (Earth-66345), the child Deadpool variant who debuted cinematically in Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), where she was voiced by Inez Reynolds, daughter of Ryan Reynolds.
First appearance of Jillian Jensen (Mrs. Jensen), depicted only in flashback, and first appearance of her alter ego Aarchon, per the Marvel Database and League of Comic Geeks.

The issue features a broad ensemble of Spider-Man's rogues gallery — including Mister Negative, Stegron, Owl/Leland Owlsley, Silvermane, Hammerhead, Electro, Crime Master, The Rose/Richard Fisk, and AIM's Andrew Forson — as the backdrop against which Kidpool pursues a contract on Spider-Man, only to be intercepted by Spider-Boy.
Marvel's own promotional copy deliberately left open whether this comic's Kidpool is the same individual as the film's Kidpool, citing the multiverse as cover for the ambiguity.
The issue was collected in the Spider-Boy Vol. 4: Full Circle trade paperback (November 2025), which compiled the final stretch of Dan Slott's Spider-Boy ongoing series.
