DEADPOOL VS MADCAP SERIES

The breaks are caused by publication delays. Aside from the conclusion to the Isn't it Bromantic Arc, what I've listed is all one continuous arc. Next we've got some more Spider-Man/Deadpool. I'm also not sure when exactly it occurs during Last Days of Magic but the issue itself does specify it occurs after Deadpool #11 It does feature kind of a major development for Michael and Ben Franklin, but they're hardly brought up in the main book anymore anyway, so it's skippable if you don't care. Last Days of Magic isn't really essential. If you really wanna read it all, just read them at the end of each arc like you would.

DEADPOOL VS MADCAP SERIES

Issues 6 & 12 are skipped because much like the flashbacks of the Marvel NOW! run, this series features some pretty inconsequential flash-forwards to 'Deadpool 2099' which isn't even set in the actual 2099 continuity. 6 & 7 aren't written by Joe Kelly, they're separate issues) The book had some release issues, so story arcs tend to have these gaps (e.g. Technically the arc skips to issue 8 to finish up, but there's a gap of time between 5 and 8, then the story seems to pick up right after 8 so I separate it here. If you like Bunn's writing you'll enjoy it but I don't so I don't like to read it. Mercs for Money is an unnecessary miniseries. Now he's an Avenger, and has his own team of Mercs. In Deadpool's new ongoing, Brian Posehn has left the creative team so it's just Duggan. I'm not going to include it as a main title but I think it's worth reading because he's both heavily featured, and certain developments explain things that happen in the main book. It's always nice to see Deadpool involved in a 'serious' title and be included, rather than tossed to the side as purely a joke character. The lineup is a fun team, it's written by Gerry Duggan, and Deadpool gets a good amount of involvement. One of them is like a prelude to Uncanny Avengers, and it focuses on Deadpool. Welcome to All-New, All-Different Marvel! Everything here picks up '8 months later' from before Secret Wars and everybody has new status quos! Avengers #0 is basically a collection of short stories setting up the different Avengers books. It also kinda comes out of nowhere if you don't know about the Death of Wolverine event so I'd say it's pretty non-essential. It's a cool issue but it doesn't matter much for the main title. The Death of Wolverine one-shot pretty much just functions like a little sequel to the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Hawkeye being in a stern mindset in Thunderbolts. Wade not telling Hawkeye the name of the team, and 2. There's some potential confusion regarding Hawkeye's appearance in HvD (where Wade mentions he's on a team with the Punisher but it's ending) and in Thunderbolts where he doesn't seem to know the team is a thing, or acknowledge the events of HvD, but you could probably chalk it up to 1. It's not exactly essential to the main story, but it's fun, and it does set up Wade's friendship with Clint and Kate that comes up a few times. It's written by Gerry Duggan too which is great.

Hawkeye vs Deadpool is a really fun miniseries which I'd recommend reading. Duggan uses the event's premise as a way to continue the story he's telling for Deadpool. That's a lot of work for something that can be summed up in 'the Watcher dies and things he's seen are revealed to people.' That's it.

Now, you COULD read Original Sin, but I mean. Okay so, #27 & 28 of the main title basically cap off the events of The Gauntlet, while #29-34 are tie-ins to Original Sin.
