Description
The best there is — and the worst partner possible! Deadpool was the king of Staten Island, and now he wants to be an honorary citizen of Krakoa. Wolverine just wants him to shut up. But when Wade Wilson uncovers a dangerous plot that could mean doom for the mutants’ safe haven, it’s going to take a titanic team-up to quell the threat! But that doesn’t mean that Logan has to like it. As the two head deeper into danger and find themselves outnumbered and surrounded, Wolverine and Deadpool must make peace quickly in a last-ditch effort to save mutant lives. But what’s with all the robot X-Men? What do they have to do with the X-Desk? And how does Wolverine’s old pal Maverick fit in?
