    Daniel Way (For the Deadpool series, Also did Wolverine Origins: The Deep End)
    Victor Gischler (For the Deadpool Corps, Also did Deadpool Merc With A Mouth)
    Mike Benson( For Deadpool Pulp, Also did Deadpool Suicide Kings)
    Duane Swierczynski (For Wade Wilson's War, Also did Deadpool and Cable #25
    David Lapham (For Deadpool MAX, Also did Deadpool Team Up #892)
    Rick Remender (For Uncanny X-Force, Also did Deadpool 1000 Story "Appetite for Destruction")

    Jeff Parker( For Deadpool Team-Up #889, Also did Hulked Out Heros

    I think those are all the writers who have written a story involving Deadpool from October and September, If I missed one that you want to vote for the go for it. You can only pick a writer who has written a Deadpool story recently. I just want to see who you guys think is the best Deadpool writer we've got today.

    That's interesting, most people (on here) seem to hate Way's stuff.

    @inferiorego: Despite his not knowing the character or doing little things like 'research' or even having an overall arch for Deadpool planned?
     
    I'm going with Remender for now because he's got 100% classic Deadpool down. No voices, pop culture references, smartassery, and moves like a ninja. 
     
    Close though is Parker. Damn good that Gorilla Man Team Up.

    Fred Van Lente did Deadpool team up 899.
     
    I'd be stuck between Mike Benson and him. 
    Swierczynski did a great job with DP/Cable 25. WW's war was alright.
     
    I'm lazy to type it all out but typing this took more time then that would have.

    For me it is Daniel Way.  He really knows how to write the character.  There may be no character in comics more dependent on the writing than Deadpool.  He is one of my favorite characters, but if done improperly, he can be lame.  It is hard to involve his type of comic relief in a serious superhero universe such as Marvel without it sounding forced or unrealistic.

    @Darthtravis: Have you ever actually read the original Deadpool stuff ( now called Deadpool Classic ), the stuff by Joe Kelly? As Capo_del_Bandito strongly feels and expresses on these forums; Daniel Way's Deadpool isn't an exact depiction of the original Deadpool. He's much more without depth, his humorous facade sometimes completely takes over and he becomes a lunatic with a lot of luck. I'm not saying I hate Daniel Way's Deadpool, but I prefer to see a more true-to-his-roots Deadpool as there was before.
    You're entitled to your opinion as to which writer you prefer, but to say that he really knows the character ... that's very arguable.
     
    With this said my favorite writers are Duane Swierczynski ( based off on the modern Daniel Way Deadpool, but absolutely the most entertaining Deadpool story I've read in a while ) and Rick Remender ( because he dared to go back to what Deadpool used to be, instead of the more modern Deadpool we see now in all other books ).

    @Abnormally Warm Guy: Good Sir, I am JESTING. Obviously someone hasn't gone insane for not liking the classic. Yeesh.
     
    @Edamame:
    Eh, the plot was a bit out there, especially the sci-fi stuff, but I liked the overall development of Deadpool from mouthy merc to a guy with emotional problems, depth, a guy trying to overcome his problems and limitations and fears. Way's Deadpool has none of that.
     
    The 'Eye-Gore" thing is from Young Frankenstein. It's one of the very few pop culture references Way uses. 
     
    @Darthtravis:
    I have the exact opposite problem with Way: Every bit of comedy he attempts to do with Deadpool is forced. The jokes and setup, and even style of humor is nothing but in your face, mindless, and just plain juvenile. A lot of the older Deadpool writers mixed it up with subtlety, wit, *and* the juvenile humor, as well as had some of the seriousness in there. Daniel Way's Deadpool is nothing but fart jokes, explosions, and treating Deadpool like a  shallow idiot. 
     
    Though I think he was the worst writer to ever tackle Deadpool, you might enjoy Buddy Scalia's run on Deadpool. From the Roadrunner/Wyle E Coyote issue, to the 'Kid Deadpool' stuff, his run was just mindless stuff, but at least there was a plot.

    Yup. If Remender keeps things going as they are, he'll probably become a favorite Deadpool writer to a lot of his more "old school" fans. Of course all the new fan boys will probably be turned off by his version of Deadpool since there are no voices, pool-o-vision, etc.

    @ShirEPanjshir:  I hope he does turn off all the new Deadpool fans, because if so, they will complain about there being a lack of voices..... then the old school Deadpool fans will all say "Well you know Deadpool was more of a badass when he didn't have voices, check out the old stuff by Joe Kelly or Gail Simone or Christopher Priest" then they will go check out the old stuff and BAM! the new fans will become fans of the old stuff like the old fans....because let's face it....nobody hates Joe Kelly's stuff.

    @The Lobster : Yeah, but I honestly do think that if you call yourself a Deadpool fan, you should 've already read all the Deadpool stuff, especially the Deadpool Classic volume! So if a Deadpool 'fan' complains now about the lack of voices etc. I'm pretty sure they won't just go and read Deadpool Classic if they haven't already, they'll probably drop the X-Force book and keep with Deadpool, Deadpool Corps, etc. 
     
    So I really hope that Uncanny X-Force keeps up it's rating enough to keep on going. Since there 'll be a lot of people who 'll refuse to pick up the book because of Deadpool 's presence and the presence of lesser known characters like Fantomex. There 'll also be quit a bit of ( Daniel Way's ) Deadpool fanboys who 'll drop the book after a while because he is too different from the only Deadpool they know. And of course a lot of people that have read the previous X-Force volume will compare it to that, which was pretty amazing to most people, and thus set a very high bar for the ongoing.

    @Edamame: Eh I just don't think Daniel Way has any sense of timing or subtlety. It's always over the top stuff and goofy humor ALL the time. At least the other writers have mixed it up and didn't rely on explosions, stupid for the sake of stupid.
     
    Kelly mixed it up and had a lot of wit and slapstick and threw in the silly juvenile humor too. 
     
    The best part of Kelly's run was the honest to god "Merc With a Mouth" part. Way's Deadpool is too busy talking to himself to talk his opponents silly or distract them. He focuses on a wacky plan and acting like a idiot on meth. I miss the 'talk the villains into frustration/annoyance/angry wrath' Deadpool Classic.
     
    Have you tried checking out Simone's stuff? She was a mix too, but did sorta stick to the comedy more than anything.

    Best ever Deadpool? Joe Kelly, hands down. Kidnapping a pre cog then taking him to Monte Carlo to fleese casinos whilst disguised as Ricardo Montalban? That's humour. Not silly, Mad Magazine esque crap like Daniel Way's. And instead of arguing with voices in his head (that have no explanation BTW, they just appeared out of no where) Deadpool used to babble on and on about something completely irrelevent... whilst shooting people in the face. Thats what Deadpool should be. Thats how he got the nickname "merc with the mouth".
     
    My current favourite writers? Duane Swier... dunno how to spell it. David Lapham, Rick Remender and Mike Benson. I like Van Lente and Parkers work with DP too but they haven't really had the chance to do proper stories with him.
