    Not into deadpool corps (they are at the final issue anyway) but I would say the normal deadpool,team-up, Deadpool pulp/max when they come out. 
    And if you can Deadpool origins maybe too understand more about him.

    Deadpool's original ongiong. Joe Kelly's run (1-33) and Gil Simone's run (65-69) they are really good. (I recommend Agent x too which was a continuation of Deadpool's story)

    You got to go with Suicide Kings. Spidy and Deadpool go @ it with their one liner in each book.  Just Awesome!!! Or the thunderbolts Opus Graphic novel with Deadpool. He steal Norm Osborne credit card to get paid.

     Here's what to pick up....
     
    The old Joe Kelly Run, Because Joe Kelly is the best writer Deadpool ever had, and to show you how Deadpool is supposed to be written. Joe Kelly was the guy who showed us who Deadpool really was and basically set the standard of what to look for in a Deadpool comic book. 
     
    Gail Simone's Run, because she was the only old writer to actually get close to what Joe Kelly set in stone. She was the only writer to come close to actually being on par with Joe Kelly everyone else was lacking in something and we almost forgot how cool Deadpool was, then Gail came along and reminded us how cool Deadpool really was. 
     
    Cable and Deadpool, to basically see the best buddy duo in comic, although stay away from a few of the issues that go into Deadpool's back story because it's all just throwing out everything previous Deadpool writers had already written for no reason other then "This is what I think Deadpool's back story should have been" no continuity. 
     
    Deadpool Origins is the most resent thing i can recommend and is a really good one shot and will also be a really good stepping stone into Deadpool and his PROPER Origin. If you want to get into Deadpool, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PICK THIS OR THE JOE KELLY STUFF UP FIRST. (Not shoating just emphasizing) 
     
    Here's some stuff you might want to steer clear off....

     
    Daniel Way's ongoing run, Daniel Way has a way of showing out of characteristic things and basically just writes for the moment. If he has an idea that requires Spider-Man to act like a jerk even though that's not who Spider-Man is and goes against everything that Spider-Man is, then he'll go ahead and do it anyway. Also a lot of his arcs are anti climatic and lazy. I could go deeper into this, but let's not get into a rant. 
     
    Deadpool Corps, It's boring and so far has yet to go anywhere. Also the artwork is lazy and not good. 
     
    Deadpool Team- Up, the main problem is that it's all just gimmicks. You can't tell a good story in just one issue, you need build up, then a climax, then some falling action. Plus you need to show emotional moments, and make us feel for the characters....and to cram all that into one issue and not make it feel cramped and crowded, is nearly impossible. 
     
    Stuff to look forward too....

     
    Deadpool MAX, a Deadpool series written by a writer who has so far showed some impressive stuff and the high maturity level allows the writer to do more mature things and just cut loose and do whatever he wants. Even the artist (who used to suck) has upped his game for this series and now his artwork doesn't make me want to put a bullet in my head. 
     
    Deadpool Pulp, this looks like a different take on Deadpool and the Noir series hasn't really disappointed yet (from what I've read) so it should be good. Plus Mike Benson and Adam Glass have shown that they can write some pretty good Deadpool stories, so it should be good.

    Cable & Deadpool is my favorite Deadpool series. Also, I think Suicide Kings is worth checking out.

    Deadpool Corps isn't ending, it's an ongoing. The current arc is ending.
     
    As for Team Up? I only pick it up if it features a character i like. Like Herc, Captain Britain or Satanna. Some of the issues are pretty decent. Just light, fun throwaway reads. Think of Deadpool Team Up as Batman Brave and the Bold... but more violent.

    well for one, he doesn't use images from Google as a background anymore and has basically removed all photo shopped elements. now it's just his art style, which I admit is still bazaar and abstract but at least it doesn't make me want to punch a newborn infant every time I look at it. Here's an example...
     
    Deadpool Max
    Deadpool Max

    This is an actual image from the Dead pool MAX series.
     
    Now compare that to this...
    Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #7
    Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #7

     
     I'd say that it's an improvement.

    If you're looking for someone solo Deadpool I would recommend "Funeral For a Freak".

    I like Kyle Baker... when he is actually doing proper art... not that photoshop crap. His style reminds me of Skottie Young's. Surreal and darkly cartoony.

    @The Lobster : an improvment from something as low quality as his art is like saying something wasn't as bad as the holocaust. It's not saying much.

    I'm not saying his artwork is as good as Dustin Nguyen, Jim Lee, or Jock, I'm just saying that it's an improvement and because it's an improvement, I no longer feel the need to worry about not wanting to buy Deadpool MAX because his artwork will stink it up.

    I recommend the old Joe Kelly stuff, and Cable & Deadpool's good too
    for starters, try Deadpool Origins one-shot
    And i'm looking out for DP: Pulp also, curious how this'll turn out
    That's the great thing being a fan of Mr. Wilson, so many books for different tastes

    Deadpool vol.#1 issue #18 I think. Deadpool in the Weapon X program meets Death and falls in love. My all time favorite Deadpool issue. Very good story.

    If you REALLY want to get to know Deadpool, you should indeed ( as many before me have already pointed out ) start with Joe Kelly's run ( the Classic Deadpool ) because it tells his origins, and is by far the best display of the Deadpool character at it's fullest, and not just the shallow crap.
     Cable & Deadpool: because it's just awesome and still has a few of the best arcs that either Cable or Deadpool ever had.
     After this you can always pick up the current Deadpool ongoing series by Daniel Way. It's not bad, has a few great moments. BUT it's not suited to start with in my opinion, because it shows a shallow version of Deadpool that mainly exists out of jokes and violence. His Deadpool lacks depth, so far.
     
    Merc with a Mouth is also nice, but not a really good series to start with.
     
    Deadpool Team-Up needs no pre-reading at all, and issues can be bought separately because there are no story arcs. However I find 70% of the issues less than OK.

    Deadpool Classic Vol 1-3, Preorder 4, and at least the early stuff of Cable and Deadpool. After the Civil War crossover it went out the door silly/over the top madness.
     
    I recommend the Daniel Way stuff if you want over the top stupidity for stupidity's sake, and really bad jokes and gigantic plotholes. 
     
    Gischler's MWAM is fun, but only pick it up if you really get into Deadpool. 
     
    I guess Wade Wilson's War is for fun too (I'm not big on Non-Canon stories) but pick it up if you enjoy the other stuff I guess.

    Wade Wilson's War is pretty darn good. But I do believe you'll only learn to appreciate it if you've actually read the Deadpool Classic etc. volumes. Because it's kind of somewhat of an origins story.. But not exactly told in a classic way. So I think, to fully appreciate is, you need a pretty decent background on Deadpool.

    @ShirEPanjshir:  WWW is out of canon. It's Marvel Knights. It's basically an "elseworlds" story. You don't really need to know anything about Deadpool to read it i don't think.

    @the ace of knaves: I'm not saying you HAVE to have read something before. I'm just saying I think you 'll appreciate it more if you've read Deadpool Classic issues. Because they also tell the whole cancer - we'll heal your cancer [but than fail] - send you off with the other failed experiments -thingy etc. But than again, I might be totally wrong.
