Deadpool #1 cover

When I read Cable & Deadpool back whenever (well, probably just after I read Civil War and all of the tie-ins) I was blown away at how amazingly hilarious Deadpool was, especially coupled with a character like Cable. Before I had read that series, I was on the edge with Deadpool. I had read a comic here and with him and he always seemed lame and too wacky to be even close to funny, but given Cable & Deadpool, I was hooked on the idea (and secretly hoping for it months before it was announced) that Deadpool was getting his own series. Mind you, this series is coming out of nowhere–as most comics containing Deadpool usually do–and right in the middle of Secret Invasion, but even still, Wolverine: Origins writer Daniel Way hit this first issue right on the nose with it’s great mix of comedy and well thought out story.
