Heeeeere's Deadpool! The wise-cracking, gun-toting anti-hero came from the depths of comic nerdery (New Mutants #98 I see you!) to a meteoric rise in popularity in recent years to become one of the most popular characters in the entire Marvel universe. This turn of events for Deadpool eventually lead to the 2016 film that unexpectedly shattered all kinds of box office records with a sequel coming in the near future. The film itself won over haters (me before watching) and lovers the world over, with a potent combination of R-rated humor and outlandish action, the likes of which were previously never seen in a super, ahem, anti-hero flick. Junkie XL (who seems to be doing all the costumed hero movies these days) was tapped for the soundtrack and once again he delivers in aces with a score that utilizes the big, bad-ass synths of the late 80's to match the in your face attitude of Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool). Of course, there are some humorous extras - like Salt N Pepa's "Shoop" and DMX's "X Gon Give It To Ya" - thrown in for good measure. Comes pressed on limited edition red & black starburst vinyl with gatefold sleeve.
