Marvel Sneak Peek: Deadpool #900
Deadpool here with a super duper announcement that will rock the very foundation of your house and quite possibly your neighbor’s – Deadpool #900 is almost upon us! Say it with me guys and gals: Nine. Hundred. Issues. That means that people have printed this perfect figure in at least nine hundred different comic books (That’s like 1,099,561 kills!)! Never before have so many acclaimed creators risked life and limb to portray one (Just One!) character in such a mega-magnacious story! Star creators like: Joe Kelly, Rob Liefeld, Jason Aaron, Kyle Baker, Mike Benson, Shawn Crystal, Fred Van Lente, Damian Scott, Charlie Huston, Sanford Greene, Duane Swierczynski, and Dalibor Talijic all chomped at the bit to handle yours truly (I have like fifty fruit baskets sitting at home). So if you crave (hunger, desire?) 104 pages of pure unadulterated Deadly Deadpool Dynamite, go buy this book!
Marvel urges every single retailer that sells any kind of literature to check their orders on Deadpool #900, as it promises to be the single greatest comic book ever created in the history of everything! The Dawn of Deadpool is upon you ladies and gentleman: embrace the Wade!
No animals were harmed during the making of Deadpool #900!
Deadpool #900 arrives in October
It is I, the whimsical Wade Wilson, wishing you a wonderful warning (That’s not too much alliteration is it?) – Buy Deadpool #900, with seven all new stories, my first team up and more! It seems like only yesterday I was starring in Deadpool #13, but here I am, at the apex of comic glory! This issue is so big only the most hardcore Deadhead (Isn’t that the name for fans of the Grateful – Shut Up!) creators could handle it! In the first of seven stories, “Pinky Swearâ€, is presented by Joe Kelly and Rob Liefeld. “One Down†is brought to you by Charlie Huston and Kyle Baker and “Close Encounters†is created by Jason Aaron and Rick Staggs. Mike Benson and Damian Scott deliver “Shrunken Master†while Fred Van Lente and Dalibor Talijic present “Silent But Deadly.â€Â “What Happens in Vegas†is told by Duane Swierczysnki (Is that how you spell it?) and Shawn Crystal. And lastly, we have “Great Balls of Thunder on the Deep Blue Sea†by Victor Gischler and Sanford Greene Watch as your favorite crimson comedian faces off against probe-happy aliens (They didn’t even offer us a drink!) and killer mimes (Did their guns have silencers? Bwahaha)! But the fun doesn’t stop there, I also meet a shrink that’s crazier than me (You’re crazy?) and partake in a heinous assassination (My favorite type!)! Bear witness as I wade through (Get it?) the trials and tribulations that every average psychopathic regenerating cancer-ridden red spandex-wearing mercenary assassin has to deal with! And look at that cover by Dave Johnson (I know, it’s so awesome, eh?)—and he’s doing a variant cover too!
Marvel and I have agreed that if retailers don’t check their orders on Deadpool, I will be sad. You wouldn’t like me when I’m sad (No more of my issues that sell out every single time ever!)! Guns (Guns!), chicken, aliens, mimes, battery cables, and guns (Guns!), ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? Buy Deadpool #900, starring me, the Merc with a Mouth, immediately when it comes out (Twice!)!
