Stories

  • Dealer's Choice · 22 pages

    Deadpool is hired by a young man who wants him to kill a bookie who is threatening his life. Little does he know that this is all a set up by the villainous Tombstone who makes it look like Deadpool is responsible for a building blowing up in Harlem. With Deadpool quickly rising to public enemy #1, he comes to the attention of the Punisher who prepares to go after him.

Publisher’s description

Deadpool’s latest job has gotten him into a world of trouble. Everyone wants a piece of him -- and for a crime he didn’t commit! That’s right: Someone’s framed Deadpool, and it just might be the same guy who hired him in the first place, a guy who just might be using the mouthy merc as a wild card in a twisted wager. If Wade’s going to clear his name and serve up some revenge, he’s first got to avoid getting captured -- or killed -- by some of the Marvel Universe’s heaviest hitters: Daredevil, the Punisher and Spider-Man.
