What is the correct reading order for Deadpool?

Question

I have read random Deadpool graphic novels over the years. I would really like to start from the beginning, but I don't know where to start. Can someone post a complete reading order for me?

Answer 1

Well, there's a page listing the Chronological order of all Deadpool appearances. Here's the gist of it:

Main Deadpool Continuity

1. Deadpool: The Circle Chase (1993) #1 - #4
2. Deadpool: Sins of the Past (1994) #1 - #4
3. Deadpool (1997) #-1 - #69
4. Agent X (2002) #1 - #15
5. Cable & Deadpool (2004) #1 - #50
6. Deadpool Annual (2013) #1
7. Deadpool (2008) #1 - #63
8. Uncanny X-Force (2010) #1 - #35
9. Deadpool vs. Thanos (2015) #1 - #4
10. Thunderbolts (2012) #1 - #32
11. Deadpool (2012) #1 - #45 & Deadpool: Dracula’s Gauntlet #1 - #13
12. Mrs Deadpool and the Howling Commandos (2015) #1 - #4
13. Deadpool & Cable: Split Second (2016) #1 - #6
14. Uncanny Avengers (2015) #1 - ongoing
15. Deadpool (2015) #1 - ongoing

Loosely fitting into Deadpool (2015) continuity

• Deadpool & the Mercs for Money (2016) #1 - #5 [Miniseries]
  Should be read before Deadpool (2015) World’s Greatest: Vol. 5 Civil War II
• Spider-Man/Deadpool (2016) #1 - ongoing
• Deadpool & The Mercs for Money (2016) #1 - #10
  Should be read after Deadpool (2015) World’s Greatest: Vol. 5 Civil War II

Everything else – and, let's face it, there was a time when Deadpool was everywhere – should be free of continuity and can be read whenever you want.
