That Deadpool cover is amazing.

"6) Worked with Remender before." haha
TonyChu - 8/17/2012, 11:34 AM
Deadpool should be an Avenger after reason #6 alone. Remender run on X-Force has been amazing.

Going to miss UXM :/ UA should be good.

Dang-it! NOW they're just rubbing my nose in it. The old costume in the trash, and the new one, with those lame X-Game boots and gaudy roller-blading wrist guards. Even just the 'knap-sack' straps instead of the leather rigging down his centre, to the belt buckle. I hate it! Haters gunna hate and I hate it!! I cosplay Deadpool at conventions (see me next week at Toronto's FanExpo!). I have a Deadpool tattoo on my arm. Despite being single, my Bachelor pad has Deadpool prints framed on the wall and a collection of Deadpool action figures on my TV stand. I have an actual custom Deadpool license plate from the Ministry of Trasportation for pitty's sake! I love Deadpool, so why do this to me??! It's T-Rex, isn't it?? HE'S behind this!!
ElDuce74 - 8/17/2012, 12:02 PM
Guess we all know why you are single.

My preferred launch is a foot long chicken bacon ranch on jalapeno chedder bread at Subway with extra banana peppers and jalapenos. I usually grab a bag of Fritos and a large iced tea with it.

Nice cover artwork.
laughterman26 - 8/17/2012, 5:21 PM
ive changed my opinion about his redesign- first cover for deadpool was crap the alternate cover was better and now this is just awesome. Hope they go along the lines of this for the dp movie.
