For starters, she’s been collecting his severed body parts for the last few years and has keeping them frozen in her apartment...

ISSUE #45 - “Evil Deadpool,” Part 1

What would happen if a collection of Deadpool’s frozen, severed body parts were to be thrown into a dumpster and then, once thawed, fuse together to form a new--and totally evil--Deadpool? Well, we could tell you…but it’d be way cooler if you read it for yourself!

It also contains art which writer Mark Millar fears will make other artists go impotent. But as the story of America's number one new hero builds toward a conclusion, one guarantee is that you won't be disappointed.
