Deadpool_16_SecondPrintingVariantMarvel is pleased to announce that Deadpool #16 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at retail level) and will return with Deadpool #16 Second Printing Variant! The fan favorite creative team of scribe Daniel Way and powerful artist Paco Medina keep the laughs rolling as Deadpool is cordially invited to join…the X-Men?

Also, this second printing features Medina’s stunning interior art on the cover!

Critics and fans alike are raving about the raucous Deadpool:

“The art is excellent and matches the tone of the script perfectly… [Deadpool] is a character whose exploits I’m very glad to be following.” – Scott A. Williams, Comixtreme.com
