Deadpool Modern Era Epic Collection: X X Baby

Continuing Daniel Way’s riotous run writing the Merc with a Mouth!

Deadpool wants to be two things in life: a pirate and an X-Man! So, after a stint on the high seas, he decides to make the X-Men love him by...assassinating the father of one of their students?! Then Wade Wilson pays a visit to a certain wisecracking wall-crawler’s friendly neighborhood — or is it? Deadpool doesn’t play second banana to anybody, especially not Spider-Man! But Wade had better deal if he wants to survive the threat of Hit-Monkey! Neither X-Man nor Amazing Friend, is Deadpool fit to stand alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? When Doctor Bong clones the Secret Avengers, Deadpool must fight beside the real deals — and try not to shoot the wrong guys! Plus: A bunch of good Draculas hire Deadpool to fight a bunch of bad Draculas!
