Collects Deadpool (1997) #0, 21-33; Deadpool Team-Up (1998) #1; Encyclopaedia Deadpoolica (1998) #1. Joe Kelly's classic storyline concludes! As the world-ending threat that LL&L has been preparing Deadpool to fight looms, Wade struggles with a crisis of conscience. Can he really be the Mithras, prophesied to save the world? Not to worry, because LL&L has a possible replacement all lined up: Captain America! The aftermath of this cosmic conflict leaves Deadpool more unstable than usual - but when a familiar woman from his past returns, everything Wade Wilson knows about himself will be called into question! Now he must brace for revelations, recriminations and a very personal final battle against his worst enemy, T-Ray! Plus: Therapy sessions with Dr. Bong! And Deadpool crosses swords with Batroc, Bullseye, Wolverine, the pint-sized assassin Widdle Wade and more!
Joe Kelly broke into Marvel in 1997, adding his own style of irreverence to Deadpool and turning the title into a cult sensation. After a brief run on X-Men, Kelly departed for DC Comics, where he delivered award-winning work on Action Comics and Superboy. He has since returned to Marvel, collaborating with the “Spider-Man Brain Trust” and penning several memorable arcs on Amazing Spider-Man. Along with several fellow comic creators, Kelly established Man of Action, the studio that has produced the Ben 10 animated series.

Walter McDaniel’s Marvel output includes annuals for Gambit, Ka-Zar and Wolverine, along with stints on Deadpool and Deathlok. Elsewhere, he has drawn Earth 4 for Continuity Comics, as well as Crush and Pact for Image. 

After his start on Action Force and Transformers for Marvel UK, Anthony Williams penciled Marvel’s Squadron Supreme: New World Order one-shot, Hokum and Hex (a Clive Barker creation), and DC’s Fate. In the pages of 2000 AD, he collaborated with Dan Abnett, Garth Ennis, Mark Millar and Grant Morrison, among other noted British writers.
