Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #1-5 (Ongoing)

A disfigured, mentally unstable mercenary who started as a supervillain but gained cult popularity because of the character's peculiar balance of angst and pop culture slapstick blended with an almost non-stop stream of irreverent asides that have the tendency to break the fourth wall (the fourth wall is the boundary between the fictional setting and the audience; when this is "broken", i.e., the character directly speaks to the audience or readers; this means that he or she is aware of his standing in the story vis-a-vis the readers). Hence, "The Merc with the Mouth." The current 5th issue is the fifth part of the initial seven-part story arc entitled, "Head Trips."

'HEAD TRIP' PART 5. After Dodging Dinos, cavemen, and a particularly nasty Zombie T-Rex, our intrepid trio - Deadpool, Dr. Betty and 'Headpool' a.k.a. the severed head of Zombie Deadpool - escape in an *ahem* borrowed Hydra shuttle and head for the A.I.M. space station to deliver their hot bio-cargo. As Hydra calls in a battle frigate to cause a little trouble, Deadpool comes to the sudden realization that a zombie virus unleashed on the world might be, well, a bad idea, and devises an ingenious plan to sneak off with the head.
