American Comics Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Deadpool in New Mutants #98
*Marvel: The landmark 98th and antepenultimate issue of New Mutants featured the premier of not only everyone’s favourite Merc-With-A-Mouth and blockbuster movie star, Deadpool, but also the very first appearance of the probability-manipulating assassin Domino and, for good measure, Gideon. Since Domino also co-starred in the smash-hit ‘Deadpool 2’ movie, her presence has enhanced the desirability of this already hot collectable issue. Although Deadpool as presented in this issue is very different in tone from his later more popular appearances, this is where it all began, and no modern comic collection is truly complete without this cornerstone. This is a lovely high grade copy, and a rarer newstand variant, flat, tight and glossy with vibrant colour, firm shiny staples and white pages. Being strict graders, we have avoided an even higher grade due to the tiniest suggestions of edge handling wear, but for many people this copy would be NM or even better.
