Out this week and on sale in from WHSmith and from Panini UK direct is a 164 page Deadpool: Pool Party! special, celebrating the character’s 30th anniversary.
Yes – there ain’t no party like a Deadpool party, and it’s the Merc with a Mouth’s 30th anniversary this year.
Wade Wilson has shimmied and shaken his way through the Marvel Universe for three decades, spreading chaos, carnage and a cavalcade of inappropriate jokes wherever he goes. Now get ready for a birthday bonanza of his very best team-ups featuring the likes of Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and more!
This is one party that’s got it all going on – guns, swords, assassin monkeys and at least two highly questionable wardrobe choices! It’s celebration time — Deadpool style!
