Deadpool: April Pool’s Day #1
IT’S APRIL POOL’S DAY IN THE 616!
Join Wade Wilson as we celebrate April ‘Pool’s Day, the way our ancestors did – with tricks, gags, and potentially universe-ending calamity. Wait, what was that last one?
The real trick is, Wade’s being serious when he figures out how deadly the situation is on April 1st, and no one believes him! But you do, right?
Because if not, this could spell the end of the Marvel Universe as we know it!
