Deadpool's Affirmations

Deadpool’s Affirmations will make you laugh, want to kick a$$, and wonder whether you should have asked Wolverine for advice instead.

I know what you are thinking: “Why would I take life advice from a mouthy merc in red spandex who treats villains like human piñatas?” Fair question! Here’s the thing—who better to teach you how to live than someone who PHYSICALLY CANNOT DIE? (Except a little on the inside when I see cute kittens.) I’m like a self-healing fortune cookie with katanas and a spectacular a$$.

And if I can find meaning in an immortal life filled with endless injury and an internal monologue that never shuts up, I can definitely help your delightfully temporary self find purpose! Also, Wolverine is busy.

Seriously though, buy this book. It has adorable illustrations of yours truly. And I have a chimichanga habit to feed.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
