Why this must be read:

Hello, Deadpool’s in it.  Deadpool should be in everything.  Dangerous Liaisons is goofy and funny and crass and offensive and everything that makes Deadpool awesome.

Also, this is an early story of Ascian, aka Marjorie Liu.  She just published X-Men: Dark Mirror, which is probably the best comic-based novel I’ve ever read.  And while that’s not saying a whole lot since comic-based novels generally blow chunks, it really is a good book and it’s fun to see where she started and to point and laugh and say, “SEE!  Fanfic writers CAN turn into for reals writers who get paid and everything.” 



Jubilee frowned thoughtfully. "I don't know," she said, surprising him out of the first stages of a potential month-long funk. "If it weren't for your face, you'd be kind of sexy."
"Yeah?" This definitely had possibilities. "Well, if it weren't for your age, you'd be legal."
"Like you care about things like that."
Deadpool stared at her. "You know, if you keep this up, I just might get some ideas." He was already getting some…
Jubilee's glare was pure menace. "Dude, don't even think about it."
