No. Of course they aren’t. But that doesn’t mean they don’t want you to think that maybe they are!
In a recent press release (which you can find after the cut), Marvel put out some new information regarding the upcoming fiftieth issue of Deadpool, written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Carlo Barberi. The issue picks up as Deapdool’s battle with Evil Deadpool (the result of various old severed Deadpool limbs getting stuck together) comes to an end, and once again finds Deadpool at the doors of his beloved Death. The issue promises ramifications galore, a dramatic change for the worse, and the inclusion of the surviving members of X-Force.
The issue itself is simply titled “DEAD”, and is something Marvel has been teasing since San Diego Comic Con. It’s still too early to tell what exactly the “dead” element will be — perhaps the book is ending, or Daniel Way’s run is coming to an end? Or perhaps Deadpool is actually going to die? The last one seems a tad bit unbelievable given his uncanny healing powers, but you never know. Odder curve balls have been thrown.
Either way, look for the death of Deadpool — or something — in February of next year. For the full press release from Marvel, please check after the jump.
Could this be it? Has everyone’s favorite Merc With A Mouth finally made an appointment with Lady Death? This February, witness the biggest change in Deadpool’s life as “DEAD” kicks off in Deadpool #50! From the creative team of Daniel Way & Carlo Barberi, Deadpool’s lease on life is about to expire and those around him are going to feel the consequences including X-Force! Following the epic battle with his former body parts gone rogue, Wade Wilson makes a monumental decision that will forever change who he is. See how it all goes down this February, in Deadpool #50!
