[Parallax]

They're killing off Logan? Well damn, good thing I've never supported Marvel.

hes already dead. been been gone for a minute. but the books that have come out of his death have been decent.

Stop killing off characters people actually care about. Damn.

he is already dead.

 

[TetraxShards]

Gambit's probably next to die given the pattern of Marvel deaths recently.

And nothing of value was lost.

They already did kill Logan, & he won't return until at least 2016. They're even doing comics on the fallout of his death.

as much as i laugh at you, cash money there will be more people pissed than those that picked up x factor.

hell they could bring back maggott today, kill him next week, and hed have a flood of people mad that hes gone

 

[pulga]

guys has someone mentioned he's already dead

HE'S DEAD

 

[Just_myles]

Not new to the character at all. If I recall, he regenerated from being a hand(was delivered to Wolverine by weapon X). So this doesn't make this book appealing for me. They had me at infinity gauntlet.

 

[Renzoku]

Comic book deaths are about as important as the death of an ant.

 

[TAJ]

guys has someone mentioned he's already dead

HE'S DEAD

Why, because he looks like a zombie? That's because he's basically a walking tumor.

 

[TetraxShards]

According to wiki, he actually did die, twice even:

Maggott reappeared as an inmate at "Neverland," a concentration camp run by the covert government program Weapon X. Along with a number of other mutants, he was exterminated there.[3] One of his slugs, which he gave away to two children at the camp after foreseeing his death (thanks to his psychometric powers) at the camp, was last seen in a container in Mr. Sinister's laboratory.[4]

Maggott is later resurrected by means of the Transmode Virus to serve as part of Selene's army of deceased mutants. Under the control of Selene and Eli Bard, he takes part in the assault on the mutant nation of Utopia.[5] Maggott's fate is uncertain as it is unknown if he was among the mutants teleported to Genosha by Blink to serve as a sacrifice to the newly-deitious Selene or if he was among the mutants that managed to escape Utopia

To be fair, Xavier died around the time First Class hype train was going (correct me if I'm wrong), & Wolverine died around the time of the DoFP hype train. Given that Deadpool's movie was ridiculously requested, I'm not surprised they killed him off now. And given the circumstances, it's probably gonna stick for a while. For reference, Logan's gonna be gone until at least 2016 & he died last year, so I'd expect Deadpool to be dead for at least 2 years. Just enough time for the hype surrounding the Deadpool movie to die down (because Marvel doesn't want Fox to get free advertising).

At the very least, we still have a ton more comics about mutants, but it's a shame to lose Deadpool for what's apparently a petty reason.

You're wrong. First Class was May 2011, Xavier didn't die until around October 2012 (and that was 100% Bendis much to Hickman's chagrin). Also Wolverine didn't die until what November? Does almost half year post movie release (and however long his solo movie was released ago) still count as the hype train? As for Deadpool there's a 50/50 split that it's an April Fools gag.

Oh fuck Marvel.

They spent plenty of time deconstructing him before they killed him though, stripping his healing factor, giving him a suit of ablative armour designed by the Superior Spider-Man and giving him a gun:

It was a shame, because the character development he got in Wolverine and the X-Men, Uncanny X-Force and Uncanny Avengers was quite nice.

That's $3.99 I'm never getting back.

my point was that noone cares about him. like at all. but bring him back and have him die in the span of a week, and it becomes a conspiracy to spite fox

Oh fuck Marvel.

why? hes dead, but hes still the core focus of two stories. its not like they killed him and then tossed him aside

 

[BLACKLAC]

Smart move.

I had no idea that Brian Posehn was writing Deadpool

Thanks for the correction.

You've been missing out my friend. It's the finest Deadpool in years.

 

[Cream]

Agreed. This entire of run of Deadpool has been gold. I love his wife.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Why do comic books always spoil their big plot twists before the damn thing is even out?

Because they want people to buy it

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The Duggan/Posehn run is just so good. Wade went from being a punchline joke to being a genuinely human and tragic character that is also a punchline joke.

 

[SRG01]

Wait, isn't Deadpool's wife the Queen of the Dead?

 

[flaxknuckles]

Deadpool isn't anymore of a joke character than Spiderman.

Don't remember Daniel Way's run and all the spin-off books? Hell, all the damn annual and spin-off Deadpool issues now are all jokes. And the last issue that I read that had a cameo of Deadpool the motherfucka was shooiting arrows with explosive Hulk hands on the end of them.

 

[Slayven]

Bwwahahahaha


please tell me they dip him in vibranum so we can get a matched set?

Every character has bad writers sometimes.

I just mean, I personally don't consider a character with depth, development and tragedy to be a joke character. Deadpool goes to some really dark and introspective places.

 

[a secret-boss]

They r just setting him free

That DP died long ago, and we only see his ghost once in a while

 

[wenis]

Deadpool isn't anymore of a joke character than Spiderman.

And he's the biggest joke in the MCU currently (spider verse, mind swaps, retcons).

 

[Cream]

Well, he's there sometimes at least. I like Deadpool.

And he's the biggest joke in the MCU currently (spider verse, mind swaps, retcons).

Well, then I guess Deadpool is less of a joke <3

 

[Parallax]

That DP died long ago, and we only see his ghost once in a while

actually, we that deadpool a lot now.

 

[Sobriquet]

Damn, I have to catch up

 

[Slayven]

Being a father is doing him good?

Has the Duggan run got better since those Dead Presidents Quips Ahoy and Vetis crap ass storylines?

 

[Parallax]

Has the Duggan run got better since those Dead Presidents Quips Ahoy and Vetis crap ass storylines?

hes a lot more pessimistic now. he tries to hide it with quips, but he recognizes that he isnt shit and cant be happy now.

 

[Valnen]

why? hes dead

And that's enough for me. Fuck them.

 

[Cream]

Has the Duggan run got better since those Dead Presidents Quips Ahoy and Vetis crap ass storylines?

Absolutely.

 

[Messi]

Has the Duggan run got better since those Dead Presidents Quips Ahoy and Vetis crap ass storylines?

Every arc after that has been much better.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Like others have said, it's Deadpool. He'll probably be brought back to life in the next comic, if not at the very end of this one, haha.

 

[Neoxon]

Like others have said, it's Deadpool. He'll probably be brought back to life in the next comic, if not at the very end of this one, haha.

It's apparently the last issue, so Deadpool is probably gonna be gone for a while assuming this isn't an April Fool's joke.

 

[TetraxShards]

Has the Duggan run got better since those Dead Presidents Quips Ahoy and Vetis crap ass storylines?

Every arc has been better than that one.

Dead Presidents gave us this though:

and this:

Poor Abe. He never gets a break, even when he's already dead.

 

[jwhit28]

Of course characters die and comeback all the time but isn't the big news that they are ending the book? I wonder why they don't just kill off all remaining xmen and the fantastic 4 at the same time.

 

[mreddie]

IT'S A TRAP.

what?

 

[nintendork666]

Why do comic books always spoil their big plot twists before the damn thing is even out?

$$$$$$$$. They want to sell more issues to us comic drones.

Which is exactly why big name characters like Peter Parker, Wolverine, or Deadpool WILL NEVER actually die.

They are metaphyically inconvenienced.

Ain't that the damn truth.

 

[DrForester]

This needs to be a tie in with the new Squirrel Girl comic and have her do it.

 

[Parallax]

she has too many pages. doing shun goku satsu on dudes only really works when she has a few pages

 

[Messi]

I doubt it. He always has some kind of mini series going on.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

This dude... is hilariously angry about Deadpool "dying" and starts ranting:
