Issue Description

You saw Deadpool's marriage to the succubus queen Shiklah, now see their first meeting and romance!

The hit series originally presented as a Marvel Infinite Comic makes the leap to the paper medium for the first time!

When Dracula hires Deadpool to transport a highly-valuable delivery for him, he has no idea what kind of trouble he's in for. Guest-starring Blade, M.O.D.O.K., Hydra Bob, Werewolf by Night, and more-hop on with Deadpool for a crazy journey across the world...and into the heart of the Merc with the Mouth!

Deadpool busts out of Greece's best zoo with a carriage strapped to a zebra. Upon entering the city of Papaconstantinos, the citizenry hears that Deadpool may be carrying the fiancee of Dracula. They flee as the statue of the Minotaur breaks loose and reveals a living foe. Deadpool and the Minotaur engage in battle. After being impaled, however, Deadpool decides that it may be best to run away. He steals a scooter and chases down his zebra carriage; the Minotaur follows close behind on another stolen scooter. Deadpool taunts the Minotaur with a red cape. The Minotaur charges and busts through the carriage and heads over a cliff into some water. A woman emerges from the now busted casket.

Back at the tomb, Blade finds a discarded burrito. He hopes Deadpool isn't helping Shiklah, Queen of the Undead.

In Greece, Shiklah, Queen of the Undead, grants Deadpool a kiss as a reward for freeing her. He appears to be killed in the process, but he hops back up and warns Shiklah about any further funny business.

Now awakened, Shiklah relates her story to Deadpool about being one of three children of the King of the Undead. Her father had her buried once her two brothers were killed by the vampires in order to preserve the royal line. Now that she is awake, Shiklah knows that the time has come to unite the feuding monsters and vampires. Deadpool spots a train and the two jump on. On the train, the duo comes face-to-face with Blade. Deadpool fights to protect Shiklah (he wants to get paid, after all). Blade gets the upper hand and Shiklah decides to bust out her true form: a large purple monster. Deadpool is keen to switch sides and orders Blade to kill the monster.

In the Monster Metropolis, Dracula learns that he has some visitors. He finds Amjad and Baqir waiting for him, the brothers of Shiklah and the heirs to the undead throne. They have arrived for the wedding, and to show that they are not dead. Dracula graciously welcomes them. Upon taking his leave of the brothers, Dracula states that the wedding is now pointless, as Shiklah does not inherit the estate of the King of the Undead. As such, he'll just have to kill the brothers.
