First Look: DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE #1

This may sound sacrilegious but as long as Rob Liefeld isn't involved I'm happy. However, it is cool that this hearkens back to the old X-Force days of Deadpool and Cable. Should have some great dialogue between Wade and the others. Almost like a retcon so Deadpool can be a bit wittier and comical than his earlier counterparts. Even being one of the largest collector's of Deadpool books I agree there has been an over saturation in the Marvel U lately due mostly to younger readers taking a liking to him. It is a bit of overkill but since his creation in 1991 Deadpool was pretty much ignored by everyone for almost 10 years even though he had solo books. Once he fades out a bit he'll be a regular antihero. I like to compare his popularity to The Punisher in the 1980's. Remember how many Punisher books there used to be? It was crazy, you couldn't enter a comic book shop and spit without hitting a Frank Castle book, yet his popularity has feigned in the past decade despite the movies and new books. I will always love Deadpool and my fondest memory is being 10 years old and spending my saved birthday cash on his first appearance. I rode my bike two towns over and spent $49.00, yes $49.00 (comic shop inflation) on the book that would start my now very large collection. I used to be close to having every single Deadpool appearance but I have a lot of catching up to do now.

Golly this looks fun.

You know what's not fun? Assuming that it's Gonna be lame because of deadpool.

You know that old saying from thunderbolts #26? "Assume something, and deadpool will stab you."

THANK YOU!

I like Deadpool. Not a die hard fan or anything, but I DO like him. That being said, it's not like his series have any MAJOR repercussions on the Marvel Universe as a whole. Someone doesn't like Deadpool? Then don't read his comics, it's not like you're missing out on crucial information that ties to comics you DO like.

They should do Deadpool Vs. 51 DC Earths.

I hope the story is good but even if it's not it hits that nostalgic nerve of mine. Great to see old school X-Force in OG outfits but with today's art. Visually Im in, let's hope so on story too.

Anyone else notice it looks like Cannonball has one heck of a loogie/spit stream in the time jump panel?

i dont know

Are they going to deal with the fact that Domino was Copycat in disguise back in the early X-Force days?

Seems as if Deadppol is what Lobo used to be for DC back in the day. I have to admit as a young comic reader back in the day I was all about X-force, so I will check this out if nothing else then nostalgia purposes. Hopefully this turns out to have a decent story because I do like the look of the preview so far

90s x-force the REAL x-force. miss them so much. x-force annual 2 was one of my first comics ever so super excited for this but what's up with all the time travel lately? dc with flash and future's end, marvel with..everybody. days of future past inspired yall that much?

I'm not upset, I'm just saying it's cheap and way too easy to put Deadpool in a nonsense mini series fighting someone rather than doing a book about something original. I would think the same thing if instead of "Deadpool VS" this was "Yet Another Wolverine Comic" or "The SuperAmaztacular Spider-Man Team-Up". But I'm just expressing my opinion here, I'm pretty sure people will buy this shit just because they are fans. But hey, it's the same as in any other industry, there will always be some corporate crap only made to make money in the store. In the music industry is called "One Direction" and here it's called "Deadpool VS"

So, Deadpool is the new Wolverine now?

I love how popular Deadpool is now! And Cable

Liefeld's not even doing a variant? Kind of disappointing...

More deadpool is always a good idea.

No Feral? Anyway the book looks fun, I'm one of those people that actually liked the original X-Force, mainly because the team was cool, definitely a pick up for nostalgia.

Also no Shatterstar.

Why exactly are people upset about this? It doesn't seem like it's based on the events taking place, or the writer, or artist? Just that they don't like Deadpool. No one is saying you need to like Deadpool, but please realize that if you don't you have a minority opinion. You can get Deadpool shirts at Walmart alongside Spider-Man and Batman. He's not going anywhere.

Also, this is only the second Deadpool vs. book for the record. And the first one was with a villain; Carnage.

I'm actually really excited for this super 90's blast from the past, and happy that it seems to be canon as well. If the series is reasonably priced I think I'll plan on picking it up.

I hope it's good...

Not ashamed to admit that I'm very excited for this. The haters can hate but these mini series have been nothing but amazing and fun.

Need more pockets! Need more pockets! (OT: Shane Davis does wicked covers :D)

It's been in development hell for five years.

90s Cable? I'm in.

Please show Cable and Domino as a couple. Just one ask. That's it.

Marvel: We forgot we have villains.

The next should be "Deadpoll VS original ideas"

Deadpool Vs. Impossible Man next please!

I'm surprised they haven't done a Deadpool movie already.

these minis are hilarious. why not have him fight everybody... who are we supposed to be reading? storm? plllrrffft

How so?

This is stupid

Deadpool has a lotttt of fans and they will buy anything with his name on it.

Wellll...nope.

Yesss!!!! Keep the Deadpool vs titles coming they are awesome!!!

Deadpool seems to be fighting everyone these days.

@jonny_anonymous: Don't question it, just love it.

Seriously though.. Its because they sell well.

Whats up with all these Deadpool Vs. books?
