Deadpool Max

In this MAX-rated, 12-issue Marvel series from 2010–2011, writer David Lapham and artists Kyle Baker and Shawn Crystal deliver a brutally comedic, ultra-violent take on Deadpool. The Merc with a Mouth, alongside his long-suffering pal Hydra Bob and a cast including Cable and the enigmatic Althea, finds himself tangled in a conspiracist fever dream where the U.S. government has weaponized the zombie plague. It’s a sharp, self-contained satire that leans into the character’s absurdist edge without the usual superhero trappings, making it a cult favorite for fans who like their humor dark and their action gory.
