As the Skrulls continue their attack on Earth, the world is being torn upside down and only one person can save us in this new ongoing series, spinning out of Secret Invasion!

Plus, an eye popping, variant cover, featuring artwork from the legendary Rob Liefeld!
After Daniel Way’s Deadpool arc in Wolverine: Origins, the fans and critics agree that he was born to write this series!
“Deadpool’s characterization is really fascinating. Daniel Way explores our favorite Merc-with-a-Mouth’s delusions of grandeur and self-image… This is wonderful character exploration.” – Steven M. Bari of ComicBulletin.com
“I generally like what Daniel Way is doing with this book….It’s good stuff, and it makes me crave the ongoing Deadpool book all the more.” – Jesse Schedeen of IGN.com

What Does This Mean to You?
Marvel keeps bringing this character back. I don’t recommend this particular book for any increased value in the future, but it could spark some interest in back issues. Deadpool has also appeared on many future movie lists, so who knows what’s in store for him. Right now the back issues are reasonably priced so it could be worth some speculative buying. You have to make your own decision based on your tolerance. The issue I would be looking at is Deadpool’s first appearance in New Mutants 98, focusing on high grade copies of course. Add it to your watchlist.
