Brian Posehn

Deadpool by Posehn & Duggan Omnibus turns Wade Wilson into a strange balance of absurd comedy, ugly violence and unexpected emotional fallout. The run has plenty of jokes, but its real pull is watching the comedy crack open into consequences that Deadpool cannot simply talk his way out of. The edition is most useful when read as a complete run context, giving the creative direction enough space for tone, stakes and character consequences to register.
