Announced during C2E2 today (although solicited last week in an incomplete fashion, along with multiple things Marvel announced this weekend), it looks like Marvel is turning the clock back for a mini-series that celebrates its most successful thing to come out of the 90s. I mean, have you seen how much “New Mutants” #98 goes for on eBay?
Written by Duane Swierczynski and illustrated by Pepe Larraz, July sees the debut of “Deadpool vs. X-Force,” a four-issue mini in which Deadpool fights X-Force — but in the 90s. The book is basically a What If, looking back at the early days of Deadpool from his initial incarnation, and it finds Cable and the original X-Force traveling back in time to prevent Deadpool from destroying history. It takes place before “New Mutants” #98 and features a meeting between Deadpool and Cable that has been removed from their collective memories, and it’ll also show Deadpool during the American Revolution in 1777.
It also looks like the 90s thing to ever 90s since the 90s were actually here.
There’s a lot more about it in an interview on CBR, but I think you can pretty much tell if you’ll love this or hate this based on the cover alone, in which Shane Davis does his best Rob Liefeld impersonation.
