What are your favorite Deadpool runs and stories from the comics?
I think the best story ever written about the character is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, from Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn's current Deadpool NOW! run. An absolute masterpiece, which makes the best of Wade's past and humanity. A little short on comedy, but the story is a must read!
Other than that I absolutely love the character's first two mini-series:
The Circle Chase, written by Fabian Nicieza
Sins of the Past, written by Mark Waid
Both stories manage to bring out the elements which make Deadpool the beloved character he is today. Maybe he's not the fully formed character as he is today, but they're a great introduction to him and his world. Weasel also makes his debut in the first mini-series. Great art and atmosphere in both books. I like the somber tone, mixed with the character's crazy antics and dialogue.
Joe Kelly's run: Probably the ultimate Deadpool experience. From issue #1, Kelly juggles the comedy and heart perfectly, and throws us into the crazy world of the Merc with a mouth. We're introduced to characters such as Blind Al, Patch and many more, as we follow Deadpool's struggles to become a better person and finally come to terms with who he is. It's a pity the run later loses some focus later on, but Kelly & Co. were struggling to keep the series alive. Ed McGuinnes' artwork is just beautiful!
Gail Simone: My second favorite writer from the first regular series. Simone managed to shake up things and make the character her own. Her run is short, but fun as hell, and the Deadpool, Inc. idea could actually be used for future Deadpool movies, what do you think?
That's it for now. Curious about your answers.
P.S.: Nope, I'm not a fan of Daniel Way's take on Deadpool, as popular as he may have made him.
