It seems Deadpool has been getting a lot of attention lately, with new series and alternate versions of the character. This has led some to say that Marvel is featuring him too much.
What do you guys think? Should Deadpool receive less attention? Less series? Less alternate versions? Let me know your opinions.
 
Edit: I removed some stuff from my original post. I was trying to be humorous, but was probably just exhibiting poor taste.

I don't know why people complain about overexposure...If I really like a character then I want to see him/her in as many books as possible 
 
also complaining about overexposure does nothing if their still running out and buying every appearance of the character....Marvel has said that if all the books that they put Wolverine in weren't selling like crazy then they would stop putting him in so many books...it's just that simple

Man, Deadpool's in the dark for a good while. Let him have his moment while he can.

I tried to like Deadpool because he's seriously not a bad concept as far as character design goes.However the things they for him is out of bounds.It's like they will do anything to make sure he is a top seller but he's not that great of a character.There are books that were cancelled that could have used that boost.Who could have used some good mini's,that could have used some mainstream Spider-Man,Wolverine cameos.I'm sick of the marketing decisions.Good characters were kept out of major events for Deadpool...and when you have a serious Marvel event,something that will impact the Marvel U as a whole.Why waste pages on the guy who isn't going to do anything that has a significant purpose in the story? Why waste pages on the guy that's going to make a mockery of the whole thing,breaking the 4th wall and all the other bullsh#t he does.I don't read comics to laugh.I read comics for the action and Deadpool tries way to hard.He's no Spider-Man.

Its called supply on demaned

   

This is blasphemous.

Too much Deadpool??? That's like asking if there's too much pizza!!!

Maybe, maybe not.  This isn't a lesson in counter-factual history.  You can't deny the fact that he IS popular, and the popularity is proven with sales and reprints.    And let's not get personal about the avatar, Dr. Strange or whatevertheheck.  ~KISSES!~  :) "

Nobody denied his popularity.My point was how he became popular.He didn't generate his own buzz he used more popular characters to get there.Again,If it wasn't for Cable & Wolverine there would be no Deadpool.Check his sales figures. "

Guh.  So what?  The fans say that they can't get enough of him.  They, like me, are excited to go three weeks a month with a new 'Pool on the shelf.  And thanks for following me around Big Guy, but I can handle myself on other forum posts too. "

First of all i'm not following you.Don't flatter yourself.Second of all my point is people are acting as if Deadpool is just this phenomenon that became popular because he's a cool character when in actuality they just did to him what they could have done to anyone.Made him piggyback of the buzz of another character.

Okay, if that's the case, then why did Marvel choose Deadpool out of the hundreds of possible characters to make popular?  Is it because he's easy for the artists to draw?  I know!  Its because Sasquatch was busy, or Karnak had complained of migraines, otherwise they'd be the most popular characters in the MU.  The forum topic is not "How did Deadpool get soooo popular?"  Even if it was, I'd say the reason was fun writing, coupled with good artwork and a strong cult following, not "because Marvel whored him out."  Gosh.  The silliness from this person here. "

The world don't know what it wants.. I remember before all this people saying: I wish there was more Deadpool. Deadpool is so funny and is impossible to get tire of him Deadpool is badass, blah blah blah.. Now that is happening everyone complains. 
 
I don't mind Deadpool's overexposure, you know why? Because not only he is funny as hell; but he is as much of a bad ass (If not more) as is Wolverine. There is always something new and unexpected happening to him and it keeps the story fresh, always.
 
Arent the X tittles over used? X- Force, all the X-men tittles, Weapon X, X-Factor, Generation X. Why don't you people complain about the dang X already? 
 
BRING MORE DEADPOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
  I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CORPS :D

Hey, you have a point.  Ghost Rider and Iron Fist are tearing up the shelves right now.  I forgot about that. If you're sick of Deadpool, than stop reading his books, and stop posting in DP forums.  Fewer aneurysms for everybody. "

" @Vance Astro: i like a good balance in comics if its to light it hard to take it serious and if its too dark it distracts from the story and it cant all be action there has to be a reason for the action humor doesnt necessarily hurt a story but i agree it shouldnt get bogged down in jokes "

I haven't read a Deadpool comic since issue #3 of his current volume.That came out before Dark Reign even started.Ghost Rider and Iron Fist aren't tearing up the shelves but those characters hold their own.Several months Daredevil under sold Deadpool,but he doesn't have a bunch of cameos in his comics,he's not really part of Dark Reign,he wasn't really a part of the last 4 Marvel events.(Disassembled,House of M,Civil War,Initiative,Secret Invasion),but Marvel doesn't feel like he needs help maintaining his own comic in danger of getting cancelled.I can post where ever I want.If you don't like my opinion don't respond.That would cause fewer aneurysms.

" @Vance Astro: well if its a comedy series like howard the duck then the humor is the point but yea deadpool writers can tend to not know when to quit "

" @Vance Astro: i think some writers try to hard to make him look crazy and sometimes it makes him look silly instead "

" @Vance Astro:  Spider-Man had his time, Wolverine had his time, the Hulk had his time, now it's Deadpool's turn... deal with it. Spider-Man and Deadpool are alike in the sense that they come up with witty remarks at a serious moment when trying to stop someone or something. Deadpool's also smart, seeing as how he brought down an entire ship of Skrulls by barely fighting. He out-witted them, causing them to fight eachother... let's see Spider-Man do that. And there's no doubt, if he were to do that, he'd bring comedy into the situation too, so you're fighting a pointless battle by trying to in-different the two. Sure, Way's comics might not be as action packed as Kelly's, but there's a time when every character needs to find themselves (I know, that was deep...). Heck, I'm pretty damn sure Spider-Man had tried to find himself some time or another. I've read countless issues of Spider-Man where there has been no action whatsoever and when there was action, he tried so hard there was no point to it. "

It's not so much that they don't know when to quit,they don't know how to make the humor relevant to the story.It's rarely an instance where it ties-in.He's spewing jokes a mile a minute.When he asked Kitty Pryde if she ever played Street Fighter and than he uppercut her.That's the type of humor that sometimes appears in Deadpool's books that I find acceptable and flows with the story.I just feel like characters that cameo in his books get taken down a peg so that he looks good and it makes the character look bad and that has been happening since the volume 1 of his books.

I think one of the reasons for Deadpool is he does take other characters down a peg. Sometimes it works well. That aspect alone, though, would be hard to carry across a lot of Deadpool books. "

" there is no such thing as to much deadpool! "

In the opinion of some...there is.

Marvel pushing a LIEFIELD-created joke character from the early 90s? It's hilarious.

I wish they put Deadpool in better stories if they're gonna push him like they are, i mean getting abducted by aliens ? Reallllly ?

I really like Deadpool. His recent comics Merc With The Mouth series are really good.

hes not a buzz dude, deadpool could as big as spiderman and all the others and stay that way then what would you say then. everyone one has been over done at one point too and.. marval uses deadpool to boost most of there other characters anyway.. so its a two way street AND.. Its called supply on demaned  "

Deadpool was in danger of not having a comic not to long ago.Anyone could be as big as Spider-Man if someone actually gives them some attention.Just remember Spider-Man created his own buzz.He didn't have to appear in everyone else's comics and have team up mini-series to be popular.He was popular before he ever teamed up with anyone or had any cameos.There is no such thing with supply and demand in comics.One character could just as easily become popular as another with the right attention backing it. "

dude there not just gonna make comics that people dont like and thats what so cool about deadpool aswell he can just cruz the MU not have some story line that he has to stick to and not have a reason to be places, hey maybe if they get him popular they could use him to get others a buzz   "

" If you notice..... about a year ago... everybody was complaining of too much Wolverine...  now Deadpool.... how come nobody has complained of too much Osborn....(he appears in alll of the Marvel books!)  It's just a phase.... some moments a character will be showcased and have him/her appear on a bunch of titles....  At one point or another for some there was too much Spidey! (I can't believe I just sid that!) "

I think there's just too much M.O.D.O.K. out there.  That guy is all over the place. Hahahahhahahahaha. Ha. Yeah.  hm. right.

It's a good thing.  Deadpool totally fits with the direction pop culture is going right now.
