The most recent run on Deadpool by Duggan and Posehn has been funny, hysterical, and a little heartbreaking. Each artist attached to the book has given it a unique look that’s made for a terrific read. As the story has progressed, Wade Wilson – AKA Deadpool – has been told by regular hero’s to not mention his involvement with them. He’s also been promised a nice pay day. No one would believe Deadpool if he said he’d helped Thor save Manhattan from a giant monster but everyone knows the guy doesn’t work pro-bono. S.H.I.E.L.D. owes Wade big time, and starting in issue 21, he aims to collect on that bill.
Here is the official statement from Marvel Comics:
This December, the Merc with a Mouth goes toe-to-toe with the S.H.I.E.L.D. in Deadpool #21 – the first issue in a brand-new story arc from the blockbuster writers Gerry Duggan & Brian Posehn and red-hot artist Mike Hawthorne! And it ain’t gonna be pretty!
It’s been a while since S.H.I.E.L.D. had Deadpool re-kill the reanimated Presidents of the United States – and Agent Gorman of S.H.I.E.L.D. stiffed him on his well-earned pay! After all, he doesn’t do this for free, y’know? Now it’s time to collect what he’s owed – even if he’s gotta take down all of S.H.I.E.L.D. to get paid! But with S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Preston’s consciousness still stuck in his head – how’s she going to feel about all this destruction? And is all this S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff a shameless cash-in because of the TV show? Ask guest-star AGENT COULSON! Don’t miss the explosive start of Deadpool vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. when Deadpool #21 hits print and digital this December!
The Merc with the Mouth under Duggan and Posehn has been a wild ride. Is this what it’s all been building toward? Maybe some preview art will give us a clue? Only one way to find out and that’s to check it out by scrolling past the solicit.
