Deadpool combines ideas from more than one period of the comics, so its source material is better read as a group than as one direct adaptation. Start with New Mutants #98, then compare it with Deadpool: The Circle Chase #1–4 and Deadpool #1–33 (1997). Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
