SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
STORY TITLE:
"The Beginning of the End: Part 1"
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Its amazing that this comic was where one of the most popular characters to come out of the 90’s originated from. From Deadpool Killing the Marvel Universe, Killing our past story’s, and eventually looking to off himself, if it has Deadpool in it apparently it’s a hit. Have you seen how much the Deadpool variants go for.
PERSONAL FAVORITE LINE(S):
"Y’Know, I’ve always wanted the chance to rehabilitate myself—you know somewhere nice… How about a prison in the Bahamas?” - Deadpool
NOW FOR THE BORING STUFF
Published: February 1991
KEY ISSUE: Hell yes. This is the first appearance of Deadpool, a woman everyone believes is Domino, and Gideon who I honestly thought was an underrated villain.

SO HOW MANY ARE THEIR K???
Jesus, This one has a ton of them out there. Just recently a single 10 Gem was released out into the Comiclink wild only to be scooped up for a ton of cash. Heck there are eight in 9.9 and one in 9.9SS. But why stop there, out of FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT………. Yep, there are a total of 1293 to include mine, with 139 Signature Series, 3 Qualified, and 1 Restored. Yeah. Out of the entire series this one is certainly the most graded. Maybe with some free time I’ll see how many have been graded total from this Set and compare the numbers.
ANY PLANS FOR THIS ONE???
Oh yes, the plan for the entire series was to get it completely signed by Rob Liefeld. While I would like to get this one quadruple signed by Liefeld, DelFalco, Nicieza, and Buccellato depending on how this one comes back I may hold off.
DID YOU MEET YOUR GOAL???
I’m hoping I got at least the first part through. Mine has been sent in to CCS following having been signed by Liefeld and currently sits at CGC in the Graded status which hopefully will change in the next coming week or so. Fingers crossed this one stays at 9.8 and I can add the SS to it but honestly if it comes back a 9.6 or lower I’ll probably follow through with the other signatures for the quadruple touch. If it does go up…. One can hope, then yeah, shows over stopping here. 9.8…. we’ll see how bold I feel like getting.
*Edit* yes it has been. Loved the color choice as it truly stands out on this one. Can't believe how far this book has come and its all because of a guy with a Black and Red fetish. Signed by Rob Liefeld if the chance comes that I can add Fabian Niceza to it then hell yes I will crack it and go for it.
SO HOW DID YOU GET THIS ONE???
This was part of a four-part purchase from a boardie to include this one as well as 87, 93, and 100. Gotta say my wife being cool with this entire purchase set for a birthday present was awesome.
MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:
So a random pony tailed guy is looking to punch some robots… oh look at that they come right out on page one and say his name is Gideon. For some reason he really reminds me of someone Jean Claude Van Dame fought in Blood Sport or something like it. Anyways he punch’s everything comes out walking away without breaking a sweat and then it is explained he is extremely wealthy.
Next we cut to Cable and Cannonball having some almost father and son time in the Danger Room. Cannonball starts testing his powers a little more, and then Cable does a little cheating where he decides to fire his arm laser… at him. Having said that I realize I have no idea where that came from. He doesn’t have arm laser powers but for some reason that’s what he shoots out.
He tells Cannonball to grow up and realize he is no longer a child in a family but a Soldier in the U.S. Cable Forces…
Sunspot’s father dies by and act of poisoning from one of Gideon’s cronies, and then cut back to Rictor and Boom Boom talking about going into the Morlock tunnel’s and then want to recover Rahne from Genosha. Next thing we know Cable gets blown up by the Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. So Deadpool knocks him around, Cannonball gets knocked around and then Rictor gets choked out. Probably was going down hill until an albino with a blackeye shows up.
“Hi Domino”, says cable. Funny how she has a permanent blackeye and we decide to call her Domino. I guess she’s only a one… not gonna count the other black hole a little father down below. Anyways apparently a bunch of knives in a back works better than say Cable breaking his jaw and Cannonball going full force into his spine.
Anyways it all ends with Rictor ditching the team and Sunspot getting a bed side wake up by a shirtless Gideon. Honestly a little odd but yeah, a kid without a shirt gets a visit by a guy who can’t button his own. Oh yeah and now he’s here to tell him his father was killed, just leaves out the part he was the one who did it.
The End
