Yeah psycom5k, deadpool is getting his own series, as you said.
Ther werent initially going to do it, just a cable series with deadpool appearances in that and wolverine, but on the basis of sales/fans on the cable/deadpool series, guess they figures he's another cash cow to throw into his own comic, again.

The events of "messiah x" make me think the new cable series is gonna be pretty good...

I hate Cable, he's so boring. I won't be reading that unless somebody tells me its like the next Infinite Crisis. Although I will be reading the new Deadpool comic religiously. He may be a cashcow but hes MY cashcow damnit!

I like the character and followed the first series and the crossover series...but I have to admit I only liked certain storylines in cable/deadpool, and the deadpool ongoing series, well...kinda felt like the entire last third of that was shit...but I stuck it out.

What they NEED to do, is make deadpool and ongoing MAX series...let it get dark and bloody as a comic about a freelance assassin/merc should be...I'd also like to see the character on the very edge of sanity with some really dark tales to be told...I think the MAX brand would work very well in this case.


As for cable, he's had his moments...I always preferred that X-Man title to his though, same character really, different spin. I liked cable in x-force, but looks like that won't be much of a possibility now.
The cable character, I think, is better used sparingly, not as a spotlight character, but hey that can always change if there's some truly good stories/writing out there.

The new cable series looks to be a post apocalyptic version of lone wolf and cub.
Since I get 'em free, I'll be checking both out.

28 Days Later: The Aftermath

Hellboy Volume 2: The Right Hand Of Doom.

Just finished Dragon Head Vol. 7 – I know manga is decompressed, but I suspect a good editor could have cut this in half and still kept all the important and good scenes.

Action Comics Issues 855 - 857.

Started on the Infinity Crisis a couple days back...its good till now.

There's an amusing indie comic out there I'm reading called Last Blood. After the zombie apocalypse, humanities best hope for survival are the vampires.

I've only read the first issue of this but I enjoyed it. Hopefully I'll pick up the trade when (and if) it's released.
