Deadpool is ostensibly part of the larger X-Men franchise, but he's not actually a mutant himself. At least, that was the case until Marvel's Age of Revelation crossover. As part of that three-month-long event (which jumps ahead ten years into the future of the Marvel Universe), Deadpool will finally achieve his dream of transforming into a mutant. The catch? It also renders him an undead zombie who hungers for the flesh of other mutants.
Ahead of its October 2025 release, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of Undeadpool #1. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:
Undeadpool is written by Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and drawn by Carlos Magno (Doctor Strange of Asgard). The first issue features cover art by E.M. Gist, Mike McKone, Declan Shalvey, and Adrea Sorrentino. Here's the official description of the first issue:
THE MERC WITH THE MUTATED MOUTH…HUNGERS!
X YEARS LATER, and the virus ravaging the REVELATION TERRITORIES has finally made WADE WILSON into what he always wanted to be – a mutant! But not like this – NOT LIKE THIS! Deadpool’s healing factor is on overdrive, his mind a passenger in a body that hungers…and cannot be sated, unless he devours the life force of mutants! His next targets are the new blood known as FEARLESS, MAGNI, KID MAN-THING and FANTASTICA. It’s Deadpool like you’ve never seen him!
Undeadpool #1 will be released on October 29. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
