Deadpool

Marvel’s Deadpool (1998–present) launched as a four-issue miniseries from the publisher’s short-lived Wizard imprint, written by Joe Kelly and drawn by Yancey Labat. This inaugural run solidified the wisecracking mercenary’s solo voice, blending irreverent comedy with over-the-top action. It set the tone for the character’s long, unpredictable career, making it an essential starting point for fans of the Merc with a Mouth.
