Okay, same thing as my Iron Man thread, really. I know a little bit about Deadpool, but I want to start reading some of the Deadpool stuff.

Where would be a good place to start?

The original Series...>Seriously he's way overhyped now, just start where he had his roots.

Having recently read that 4 issue miniseries, I'm going to have to disagree with the others.

I advise you to skip anything involving Deadpool in the early 90's. Seriously... unless you really like faux curse words (Frakkin' slaggers!) and nonsensical weapon X characters with Cable-style designs... He isn't even funny in those issues.

I would probably start with his late 90's series.

cool. thanks for the input, guys.

Don't want to start now with the Deadpool Corps starting so he can save the universe?

Or even just start a few issues back where he pops into New York and runs into Spider-man and asks him how the whole Mephisto thing is working out for him.

You recommend I just start now, booley? If you don't think there's any major back-story I'm going to miss, I'm not against that. The problem with getting into comics now (I've only been "collecting" for about a year and a half) is that all of the ones that have been around "forever" have so many back-stories that I don't get a lot of the inside jokes and references in the new issues. What do you think?
