‘Deadpool: April Pool’s Day’ #1 Preview Sends the Merc with a Mouth on a Romp Through Reality

Get your first look at the ‘Deapool: April Pool’s Day’ one-shot by Gail Simone, C.F. Villa, and Ig Guara.

Deadpool has pulled one too many pranks. Now, with all of reality under potential threat in DEADPOOL: APRIL POOL’S DAY #1, the heroes of the Marvel Universe don’t believe Wade Wilson when he asks for their help. The April Fool’s special one-shot is penned by Uncanny X-Men (2024) scribe Gail Simone, with art by C.F. Villa (Avengers) and Ig Guara (Godzilla: Infinity Roar), who promise to deliver tricks, gags, and a potential universe-ending calamity for Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth.

The DEADPOOL: APRIL POOL’S DAY #1 preview opens with just another ordinary day for Wade Wilson. He snoozes his Spider-Man alarm clock, he checks his Jeff the Land Shark calendar, and makes himself a cup of coffee all before deciding which weapon of mass havoc he’s going to mess around with for the day. And then seemingly out of nowhere, Deadpool finds himself in a rom-com. He tries to rally Spider-Man and the X-Men to stop the threat he’s uncovered, but to them, it’s just another prank.

Follow the Merc with a Mouth as he romps through genre and reality!
