Deadpool‘s suit bears the unmistakable marks ofWolverine‘s adamantium claws, while the latter himself looks like he’s taken a few hits from the Merc with a Mouth’s katanas. The cel-shaded art style perfectly captures the comic book essence of these characters, making them stand out from the crowd in the best possible way.
