Deadpool and the Secret Defenders

In 2017, Marvel released a single-issue special pairing the wisecracking mercenary Deadpool with an unlikely team of heroes—the Secret Defenders. Illustrated by Michael Bair, this one-shot offers a compact, self-contained adventure that leans into the chaotic energy of its lead character while exploring a lesser-known corner of the Marvel Universe. It's a brief but entertaining entry for fans of offbeat team-ups and the era's lighter superhero storytelling.
