About the series
Mark Waid, Ian Churchill, Ken Lashley, and Lee Weeks launched Deadpool's first ongoing series in 1994 for Marvel, a short but foundational four-issue run that established the Merc with a Mouth's solo voice. This initial volume pits Wade Wilson against his creator, Doctor Killebrew, while tangling with Cain Marko's Juggernaut and Banshee in a darkly comedic, action-heavy tone. It matters as the series that codified Deadpool's modern personality—irreverent, unhinged, and prone to fourth-wall-breaking—before he became a pop-culture phenomenon.
