8. Deadpool

(Deadpool, Marvel Comics)

I like Deadpool. Not all the time, no, and I get why people don't like him.

I mean, he is deeply and profoundly over-exposed. If you lined up every Deadpool comic from this century alone, you could build a ladder to the moon, for Christ sakes. But Wade Wilson is a solid anti-hero.

He can be funny and fun and heroic, or he can be a murderous psycho, depending on your writer or plot. If you're looking for good Deadpool comics, and seek to understand why people like the character so much, here are two primers for you. One is the Joe Kelly/Ed McGuinness run, which is character-defining. Completely reinvented Deadpool from the ground up, that run. The issue where they reimagine Deadpool into Amazing Spider-Man #47 is a personal favorite.

The second run is Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn's take on the character, which is incredibly hilarious and heartfelt, and has some pitch perfect arcs and issues. The first arc involves zombie Teddy Roosevelt. How much better can you get?
