Deadpool (Victor Gischler) Books in Order

Gischler's main Deadpool work is not the team book. It is the Wade Wilson book that barrels toward the team book. Merc With a Mouth is the key title here, and it gives you his version of Deadpool at full volume.

The hook is classic Deadpool nonsense with just enough structure to hold together. Wade ends up paired with Headpool, a zombie version of Deadpool reduced to a severed but still chatty head. From there the series sprints through bizarre locations, monsters, and one absurd escalation after another.

That matters because this run is less about emotional realism than about comic timing. Wade talks, digresses, panics, attacks, and somehow stumbles into forward motion. The plotting still has a job to do, but the pleasure is in watching Gischler keep the jokes flying without losing the action line.

It also serves as a bridge into the wider multiversal chaos of Deadpool Corps. So if you want the setup before the bigger team explosion, this is where to look.

In short, it is noisy, silly, violent, and very comfortable with its own bad ideas.
