When another new mutant is discovered, Xavier and Magnus race to find him, but this steel-skinned brute isn’t choosing sides and he isn’t going down without a fight! Meanwhile, Xavier’s students try to unlock the mysteries of the Worthington Foundation as one student’s surprising power reveals itself and Kurt Wagner and Hank McCoy try to answer the question, who is Professor Bolivar Trask?

Cover by DAVE JOHNSON
« Sinner-Sinner, Chicken Dinner »
Deadpool’s quest to become a hero isn’t exactly going well, mostly because…well, let’s face it: Deadpool’s just not a “good guy.”  He’s done a lot of really bad stuff in the past, things that can’t just be swept under the rug.  But what if he was given the chance to do just that?  What if he was given the chance to confront all of his past sins?  What if Ghost Rider showed up in this book?

DEADPOOL:
WADE WILSON’S WAR #4 (of 4)
Written by DUANE SWIERCZYNSKI
Pencils & Cover by JASON PEARSON
“THIS TIME, IT’S PERSONAL”
They say the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist…Wait.  That wasn’t “they.”  It was Kevin Spacey, in The Usual Suspects.  Anyway, Wade Wilson — a.k.a. Deadpool — seems to have the opposite problem.  He’s having a damned hard time convincing the world that he does exist, that he’s been a brave soldier on the front lines of America’s secret wars for more than two decades.  Now his former partner Domino is pointing a gun at Wilson’s head on live TV, telling a panel of Senators that he’s full of [REDACTED].  But when the truth finally does emerge, the walls will come tumbling down and everybody will be caught in the crossfire just the way Deadpool likes it. Don’t miss the conclusion of Duane (Cable) Swierczynski’s and artist Jason (Body Bags) Pearson’s full-tilt double-barrel assault on reality.

WARNING:  This issue lives up to the title.  Not for the squeamish or easily embarrassed, wink wink. Wolverine finds out why the Assassins Guild is after Domino, and it’s a funny story.  Well, Domino thinks it is.  But Logan is grumpy and does’t see the humor in it, probably due to the fact that Dom’s actions have put a half dozen of the worlds deadliest assassins on their trail.  And then things get complicated.  Ahhh, romance.
