I've seen many Deadpool variants... but this one might be an insult to LADY DEADPOOL dammit O.o

?

a D-List joke character who is a Deadpool from a different universe appearing in a few Deadpool mini.

Will be getting this, I need more Gwenpool after seeing her in Howard The Duck!

Not loving that interior art for the Ms. Marvel special story but that cover with her and Bruno. JUST PERFECT! Marvel please may that a poster.

Mmm, that Hawkeyes/Deadpool art is goddamn beautiful.

Im picking up two copies!

I like her outfit but why no leggings? That always bothered me about the New 52 Supergirl costume, though I believe they've changed it now.

Did Clint and Wade swap clothes? Cover shows Clint as an Elf and Wade as St Nick in the preview Clint is St Nick and Wade is an Elf.

so.... marvel's harley quinn basically

I've hated on Gwenpool in the past, but I just read a post arguing Jar Jar is a sith lord and not only did I believe it, I wanted it. Long story short, I'm doubting everything I ever knew, so bring it on Gwenpool.

Would've been better if Gwenpool was disfigured like Deadpool.

@_andy_can: New 52 Harley started acting a lot like Deadpool though so I'd say this is normal.

Gwenpool gets thrown into a pool.

I have no idea why I hate this character so much. She just seems so forced and a sad attempt to keep cashing in on Gwenmania

This is a thing???? I just thought this was a joke, but now I cant help but shake my head at how pathetic this seems.

marvel version of Harley queen .

I want a Gwenpool solo series, it needs to happen.

This looks like heaps of fun. The art in the Gwenpool section looks amazing.

This looks surprisingly good and the Miss Marvel cover is just great.

@darkdetective27: i tell you what, not only is it lame, but only because of gwenpool is why howard the duck # 1 is the most sought after issue this week.. shocking but the true.

@donmeca2020: Yes, that's very shocking and sad.

Even though I couldn't care less for Gwenpool, the art is still pretty good.

Who and what is Gwenpool? Is she part of the main Marvel universe?

@dan12456 said:

You've seen this clip with Jar Jar yes?

This.

@thegoodcaptain: She is a Gwen from another universe, that like some other things after Secret Wars, has passed over to the main 616 Marvel Universe. Her actual face isnt scarred and she looks completely different from Gwen Stacy but shares the name, she wasnt injured so its unclear whether she has a healing factor.

Storm sure is tall.

This.

Hold on...... This seems like:

Squirrel Girl+ Spider-Gwen+ Deadpool= This BS

Even though I don't like the idea, I'll still check it out. But I'm pretty sure Lady Deadpool is way better than this gal.

@spitfirepanda: What? When? Is Supergirl even alive by now?

could there be anything less wanted than this?

That moment when the writers know it has gone to shit and so decide to embrace it.

I GUess Marvel ran out of Ideas. So They had to come up with Gwenpool.

@shinjiro: I was going by the wiki and the picture near the top of the page.

http://www.comicvine.com/supergirl/4005-2351/

@tx12100: Yeah they sure ran out of ideas, not like they've been consistently beating DC in sales for a long time now or anything.

MORE STUPID CRAP FROM THE HOUSE OF IDEAS

Not sure about all those shifts in art....

Still, looks fun like it might be fun. Might grab if it isn't too pricey. Also, so much hate in here. >_>

Why is the supposed Muslim superhero (Ms. Marvel) celebrating Christmas? Islam has its own holidays, but do you ever see those represented? How is it even logical to display a character in such a controversial manner? Granted, I don't know much about her character, but every time she pops up I begin to wonder who's version of Islam is she supposed to be following exactly? Dust from X-Men was a way better example of Islam than Ms. Marvel. You would never see Dust parading around carrying a Christmas tree. Then again, Dust's House of M version is basically a slap in the face to her original Islamic counterpart. It's almost like some writers get in over their heads when they try to represent this religion in comics, and they always seem to slip up. It's kind of irritating. Not unbearable, just irritating.

P.S.: This is not an attack on or a criticism of Christmas at all. This is mostly a criticism of Muslim representation in comics. Just pointing something out.

@currentthor2015: Marvel Just wants to earn money. That's All what's in their minds. They Don't mind disappointing the fans because they are already.

@tx12100: Hate to break it to you but every non charity company wants to make money, thats how business works. And they clearly havent disappointed everyone or the sales wouldnt be so high, as people arent going to buy something they dont like. I like a lot of the changes myself, not a fan of Miles coming to 616 but I dont have a problem with anything else right now.

@_andy_can: Seem Legit. Harley Quinn is becamed the DC Deadpool, and a Female Alternate Deadpool became the Marvel Harley Quinn...

Anyway: who care? If the comic is funny or interesting, I'm in even for copycat :)

Is Gwenpool new?

Anyone who wears a Deadpool costume is cool, but why Gwen out of a lot of people?

Would be funny if Ms. Marvel made a Deadpool suit, since she's probably a fan.
