Deadpool’s pranks are sending him on a trip through strange realities in Deadpool: April Pool’s Day #1. He asks for help from the heroes of the Marvel Universe in a story that promises to deliver “tricks, gags, and a potential universe-ending calamity for Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth,” per Marvel’s press release.

The special April Fool’s Day one-shot is written by Gail Simone (Uncanny X-Men) with art by C.F. Villa (Avengers) and Ig Guara (Godzilla: Infinity Roar).

The preview starts on a normal day with Wade Wilson turning off his Spider-Man alarm clock and making a cup of coffee. He checks his Jeff the Land Shark calendar and surveys his cache of weapons before his world gets turned upside down.

The next thing Deadpool realizes, he’s been misplaced in a romantic comedy. He seeks help from Spider-Man and the X-Men to defeat a new threat, but they believe Wade is pulling another prank.

“Join Wade Wilson as we celebrate April Pool’s Day, the way our ancestors did – with tricks, gags, and potentially universe-ending calamity,” according to the synopsis. “Wait, what was that last one? The real trick is, Wade’s being serious when he figures out how deadly the situation is on April 1, and no one believes him! But you do, right? Because if not, this could spell the end of the Marvel Universe as we know it!”

Deadpool: April Pool’s Day #1 features a cover by David Baldeón and will be in comic shops on April 1, 2026.
