Stories

Want You to Want Me Part Two: No Man Is an Island · 22 pages
Deadpool makes a bid to join the X-Men on Utopia and Cyclops turns him down flat. Dagger takes up Deadpool's cause and, after Wolverine convinces him that the merc needs to be watched, Cyclops sends Domino to keep tabs on Deadpool. After a sound beating and a round of pancakes with Domino, Deadpool is given probationary status as an X-Man and dons his homemade costume. Much to Cyclops' chagrin, Deadpool decides to prove his worth to his new team by killing Mercury's father who is publicly demanding his daughter be released from Utopia.

Publisher’s description

Deadpool's wants to be an X-Man! One problem, though: they don't want him! But Cyclops is smart enough not to get on Deadpool's bad side. He has a plan to keep Deadpool out of the X-Men's way. But Deadpool has a plan too.
