Seeing Wade Wilson versus a monster version of FDR is really weird. The comedian/writers and Tony Moore unleash their twisted history lesson this November with Deadpool #1. I wish I could take credit for this line but bravo to Marvel.com for “In Wade We Trust.”
We’ve have met. And Wade is crazy. Deadpool says “Call Me Maybe” in this variant for Uncanny Avengers #1. It’s part of the incentive for retailers to host Marvel NOW! launch parties for the first book of the relaunch on October 10, 2012. Mark Brooks crafted this hilarious cover with Wade Wilson giving the reasons why he could be an Avenger.
Marvel gave stores the chance to be Stand With the X-Men or Stand With the Avengers on the night of the Avengers vs. X-Men #1 launch parties earlier this year.
Along with the Deadpool variant participating retailers receive party kits with buttons, posters, flyers, and more.
Comedians/comic writers Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan (with Tony Moore on art) will send the Merc with a Mouth on an insane mission in a brand new Deadpool #1. The new Marvel NOW! creative team sends Wade Wilson against zombified dead Presidents as an agent of SHIELD. The writers tell IGN how they met and why Deadpool.
“We met at a comic shop, actually. Around ten years ago now, around the back issue bin. Obviously we were both lifelong Marvel fans up to that point. Deadpool has always occupied that space of action and comedy that doesn’t exist elsewhere in comics. I think that’s why he resonated with us,” Duggan says.
“Yeah, he was kind of the obvious choice for us. We both can be serious too, and we’ve talked about writing a more serious book down the line, but it felt like the way to get the foot in the door was to do the thing that we’re both good at. And Deadpool is really the only game in town where you can do both things that we enjoy doing – tell an action story but also have the main character be a smart-ass,” Posehn adds.
The duo says Rick Remender introduced them to Editor in Chief Axel Alonso leading to the Deadpool relaunch.
Back to that crazy concept of Deadpool versus Undead Presidents…
“It starts with a man who has decided that America has a lot of problems that can only be fixed by bringing back our former leaders, our great American Presidents. But that’s not how it works out. Once they’re back, they have a completely different idea of what they need to do and what the country needs. It’s a distasteful job having to send our presidents back, but Deadpool is up for the job and is suited for it. They’re not equal in terms of their planning, but in their own way they have returned corrupted. We think it’s going to be a very fun first story that leads to other funny stories,” Duggan tells Marvel.com.
The merc with a mouth is exploding from Marvel Comics to his own video game. Deadpool of Uncanny X-Force and his own comic series announced his next big move on Marvel.com:
“Hey suits, listen up ‘cause I’ve got some pretty sweet news to break. I, DEADPOOL, today announced that I’ve…(ahem…we’ve)…yes, right…WE’VE decided to make a kick-butt, butt-kicking new video game based on the awesome-ing-ist super hero ever known to man (and woman, if you know what we’re sayin’) starring yours truly, ME, DEADPOOL. I know, I know…I pee’d myself a little with excitement just now too (you call that ‘a little?’).
Some of you may know me as the Merc with a Mouth (or the mercenary for hire), what can I say? I have skills! (You know who else has skills?) High Moon Studios has skills, and I hired them to make my game, because they’re awesome, and so am I. But they’re not as awesome as I am, if that’s what you’ve heard. (Who’d you hear that from?)(Wait, listen…you smell something?)
Anywho, where was I? Oh yeah, ME, and my game “Deadpool“! With some cashola I ‘borrowed’ (ha!!! riiight…‘borrowed’) from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (blah blah blah), and some of the big cheeses (mmmmm…cheeeeese) from Marvel Entertainment, my “Deadpool”game will feature all of my favorite things–katanas (check), big guns (and not just these amazing arm muscles)(check), crazy poop-your-pants action (check), hot chicks (check), maybe some of my X-Men friends (well, depending on what they’re wearing), burritos, bouncy houses and of course ME!!!(check) (check) And check!
And now, a quote from me about my game:
“I, Deadpool, ‘hired’ Peter Della Penna and his physically embarrassing team at High Moon Studios for two reasons: First, because of their close proximity to Mexico so I can get fresh, authentic chimichangas delivered daily,” said Deadpool, newly self-appointed Head of High Moon Studios, and Supreme Commander of PR, Marketing, Legal, and just about everything I want to be in charge of at Activision Publishing, Inc. “Second, if High Moon can make an amazing game about big transforming robots look cool, then they can surely make me look amazing in a third-person action video game, from all angles (seriously Peter…my bottom is my good side, so don’t screw this up).”
And now, a quote from that other guy at High Moon Studios:
“We weren’t actually planning on making a Deadpool game,” said Peter Della Penna, formerly Head of High Moon Studios and now second in command. “But,Deadpool came by the studio one day, said he was taking over, and that if I didn’t hire Marvel writer Daniel Way pronto and make the most amazing Deadpool video game, he’d break both of our arms and beat us to death with them. I have kids, so we’re making the game.”
Speaking of ME, for your viewing pleasure (or other pleasure – hehe)check out this awesome teaser trailer and find out more information for my new “Deadpool” video game at this web thingy www.deadpoolgame.com, and be sure to follow me on what’s-yer-face at www.facebook.com/deadpoolgame and twitter.com/realdeadpool.
Thank you Mr. Deadpool.
I’m a huge fan of Deadpool: The Circle Chase from 1997 way before Wade Wilson’s own series, guest appearances and his role in X-Men: Origins: Wolverine when Ryan Reynolds brought Wilson to life on the big screen.
