Deadpool: The Saga of Wade Wilson #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers key moments from Deadpool's long and chaotic history, tracing his evolution from a wisecracking mercenary to a surprisingly complex antihero. It includes his origin under the cruel experiments of Doctor Killebrew and Ajax, his tangled relationships with Copycat, Blind Al, and Cable, and his many absurd encounters with figures like Thanos, Wolverine, and even historical icons like Abraham Lincoln and Elvis Presley. Spanning multiple eras and creative teams, this volume serves as a comprehensive primer on the Merc with a Mouth's most defining storylines.
In "Stumped! (Or This Little Piggy Went..... Hey! Where's the Piggy?)", Deadpool’s latest attempt to regrow his severed middle finger ends in cringe-worthy failure, prompting Black Tom to send a taunting relic from the past. With Siryn by his side and a mysterious lead on Killebrew—the doctor behind his creation—Deadpool’s quest takes a darker turn as he confronts the unsettling truth that his healing factor might be failing. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Ed McGuinness, with inks by Nathan Massengill and Norman Lee, colors by Matthew Paine and Digital Chameleon, and lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, the cover by Ed McGuinness captures the absurdity and intensity of the moment.
In a hilariously awkward twist, Deadpool’s attempt to regrow his missing middle finger goes hilariously wrong, leaving him mortified—especially when Black Tom sends him the very glove from the hand he once sacrificed. With Siryn by his side and a bizarre detour to meet the unsettling Killebrew, Deadpool’s quest to fix his malfunctioning healing factor takes a dark turn, revealing a shocking truth about his own mortality.
In "Why Is It to Save Me, I Must Kill You," Deadpool finds himself on a bizarre mission: stealing blood from the Hulk to help Killebrew develop a cure for his condition. What follows is a chaotic, over-the-top clash of wits and fists, as the Hulk proves less than cooperative—and Deadpool, predictably, is more than a little excited about the mess.
In "The Doctor Is Skinned (or The End of Our First Story Arc)," Wade Wilson—finally free from his cursed healing factor—turns his sights on Killebrew, the doctor who once tortured him in the Weapon X program, only to find Siryn blocking his path. Meanwhile, T-Ray keeps his contract alive, sharpening his knives and his grudge against Deadpool.
In "You Want Me to Do What?!", Deadpool grapples with the unsettling realization that Landau, Luckman, and Lake have been quietly scripting his fate all along—prompting him to ditch the Mithras role and head home to reconcile with Al. Meanwhile, Ajax sets his sights on Killebrew, turning the spotlight on a new threat just as Deadpool’s past starts catching up to him.
In "Deadpool/Death '98: A Kiss, a Curse, a Cure," Deadpool faces his end at the hands of Ajax, only to be visited by Death herself as his life unfolds in fleeting memories. Recalling his painful transformation by Dr. Killebrew and the twisted path that made him Deadpool, he must choose between the embrace of his old flame and a final, vengeful reckoning with the man who broke him.
In "Agent of Weapon X Part 1: Facelift," Deadpool is lured into the Weapon X program by Sabretooth, who offers a deal too good to refuse: a perfected healing factor and a cure for his disfigured skin. As Deadpool weighs the cost of his new purpose, the line between redemption and manipulation begins to blur.
In "Agent of Weapon X Part 2: Makeover," Deadpool—retooled with sharper skills and a fresh look—steps into his first mission with Weapon X, only to find himself face-to-face with a young boy wielding dangerous, unstable powers. As Wade tries to protect the kid, his instincts clash with Sabretooth and Kane’s no-mercy approach. With his next assignment already looming—tracking down his old flame Vanessa—the mission takes a personal turn, testing where his loyalties truly lie.
In "Agent of Weapon X Part 3: Intensive Care," Deadpool finds himself torn between orders and old feelings when he’s sent to eliminate his former lover Vanessa—only to instead race against time to save her from the brutal attacks of Sabretooth and Kane. The story unfolds with relentless pace and signature wit, as Wade’s loyalty is tested in the most personal way possible.
In "Agent of Weapon X Part 4: Flatline," Deadpool pushes back against the Weapon X program after Vanessa's death, fighting his way through their ranks with his usual mix of chaos and wit—until a mysterious bioagent triggers a catastrophic reaction in his altered physiology, leaving him in a state far worse than he ever imagined.
