Is Deadpool the same - other than hearing about the character for years I have zero knowledge of the storyline - what would I need to find to get introduced to the character?

Deadpool's stuff is actually very linear until recently. Through the 90s he mostly had villain spot duty until 96 or 97 so there isn't a tonne there. After that it was all pretty easy to keep on top of. A couple short solo runs, some mini-series until you get to the "Liefeld Sues Marvel" era, where Deadpool just leaves and Agent X comes in for a while. After that, Cable and Deadpool starts and sort of carries you through till now. I am looking to get back into him now that Posehn has apparently rejuvenated the character. You could probably skip the Daniel Way stuff and not miss much. Guy was a ####ing awful writer.
