I would suggest Deadpool Classic Vol. 2. Volume 1 is fine, but just covers his introduction to the Marvel Universe. Volume 2 is where Joe Kelly finally got his hands on the character and is considered by many fans the best writer Deadpool ever had.
Issue 2 of Volume 2, Feb 97
First story of the Deadpool Classic, Vol 2 trade.
Hi everyone I am /u/therunner5 I am a 23 year old male living in NY. I love deadpool comics I started reading them when daniel way wrote them and liked it a lot then i branched out into other deadpool comics such as deadpool:max and "deadpool and cable" and began hating daniel way's of deadpool and no2 recently i started reading joe kelly's "deadpool" along with brian poshen and gerry duggan's deadpool and it has become really good so i suggest you guys pick it up. Thanks to
/u/thepunisher56 for welcoming me but i don't think i will truly feel welcomed without some boob pics in my inbox. :P
I think Deadpool is probably a character where you won't really be missing out by not getting his full history.
The X-men as a whole almost demand someone going back through classic stories or at least massive Wikipedia entries to understand the twists and turns and continuity that led to this spot, but since Deadpool is mostly a 4th wall breaking, wacky character, you should be able to start just about anywhere.
If you do want to start with the earliest Deadpools, Marvel released some Deadpool Classic trade paperbacks a while ago, but you really should be able to jump into any of the more recent series, like when the Deadpool craze really reached its peak beginning of Daniel Way's run, or the most recent Marvel Now! series.
For Deadpool, I'd suggest going back to his original solo series. The newer stuff is not to my taste, but it has its fans.
There was also a series in the 2000s called Cable & Deadpool (collected as Deadpool & Cable) that was brilliant, but it seems to be out of print and used copies are going for ludicrous prices.
I literally wouldn't recommend any of the ones you listed as a good place to learn about Deadpool fully and the humor is really lacking in the ones you listed. I would highly recommend Joe Kelly's second volume and then collect rest of the TPBs written by Joe Kelly and then read Cable and Deadpool by Fabian Nicieza. These two writers have really firm grasp of Deadpool's personality and the humor. All the other writter has so far written a 1 dimensional Deadpool with shit sense of humor.
I'd point you towards the early Deadpool material. The movie looks like it's kind of doing it's own thing, like Negasonic Teenage Warhead never even met Deadpool as far as I know, but the early stuff looks like the most direct inspiration. Check these out:
Of course, all this is available to read on Marvel Unlimited, which you can get a free month trial right now with the promo code COMICS16.
I think I kind of want dark but I can't find Joe Kelly's anywhere. This is what I've found for Way. Would that be the place to start?
Is this the right one for Kelly? Kelly isn't listed as the main author on the search listings but he is when you click 'more' whereas he is listed as the author for Classic Vol. 2.
As Fafnesbane says, the sidebar has suggestions for Deadpool here.
The Joe Kelly run is available on Comixology here in Digital format (start with #1 not #0) or for a more complete reading experience in physical form check out the Deadpool Classic volumes.
The problem with this route is that Deadpool Classic v. 3 and 4 appear to be out of print so it might be easier to go with Comixology.
It just occurred to me that you are very likely not in the US so the physical links I sought out are probably not that handy anyway. If where you live is expensive for American comics, Comixology is almost definitely the way to go.
For what it's worth, I'm not really a Deadpool fan but Cable and Deadpool was pretty decent, but I do think you should start with this Kelly run first to get to know the character.
Or you could always just jump in with the current Marvel Now! volume if you're not fussed about starting from the beginning. It's ten issues in so far so you could either hunt down the back issues from #1 or get the Dead Presidents trade collecting #1-6 of the current run and either buy #7-current in floppies or wait for the next trade.
