Marvel Announces the Death of Deadpool

Deadpool will be dead at 50...issue #50, that is.

There's a lot of people that love Deadpool as well as those that can't stand him. He's always been an interesting character, especially when written the right way. Now as DEADPOOL approaches the 50th issue, none of that may matter as it looks like Deadpool has an appointment...with Lady Death.

Could this be it? Has everyone’s favorite Merc With A Mouth finally made an appointment with Lady Death? This February, witness the biggest change in Deadpool’s life as “DEAD” kicks off in Deadpool #50! From the creative team of Daniel Way & Carlo Barberi, Deadpool’s lease on life is about to expire and those around him are going to feel the consequences including X-Force! Following the epic battle with his former body parts gone rogue, Wade Wilson makes a monumental decision that will forever change who he is. See how it all goes down this February, in Deadpool #50!

Could it be possible? Could this really be the end/death of Deadpool? Well, we have seen Johnny Storm, Bucky Barnes and Thor all recently die. Then again, look at where they're all at now. We'll find out the fate of Deadpool in February.

Another comic book death? what could I possibly say that hasn't already been said.

Anyone who takes this news seriously in any way, shape or form does not understand Deadpool or has not been reading the book...... not referring to you, G-Man, btw, I'm just kind of grinning because I know the premise of all this.

wow...

wowyliedon Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:32 a.m.

I only know him from cable/deadpool and x-force so kind of like him, the main deadpool title is worth reading ?

@wowylied: Yeah, his series is pretty fun. I dropped it when MARVEL went into Deadpool overload but it was fun.

buttersdaman000on Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:43 a.m.
And why did Marvel feel they needed to announce this?

KainScionon Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:46 a.m.

aawww. damn it. now what crazy powered being am i going to look up to ? moon knight? ppfff NO.

Outside_85on Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:47 a.m.
Will be back in short order.

Having lived through several comic events this is the first time i actually realized why they do these. I haven't read Deadpool since shortly after Secret Invasion due to Way's buchery of the Character but i'm diving straight back in. I cant miss the -insert pre-determined duration- death of my favourite character (pre Daniel Way). All the deaths and other random events suddenly makes sense as a marketing tool.

azza04on Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:52 a.m.

Another Marvel Death....

ReVamp is online on Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:53 a.m.

LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL.

He's not dead. lmao.

that_loseron Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:58 a.m.

WAIT!? Didn't Thanos cursed Deadpool with life so he could never be with Death? If so how can he die?

MetropolisKid41on Dec. 6, 2011 at 7:59 a.m.
Well if he is truly dying then that means Marvel is blantantly ignoring the curse of immortality that Thanos placed on him 10+ years ago, unless they plan to bring that in somehow. Seems like Marvel's up to its old ways, when they can't find a way to write a character or make him interesting they just kill them to sell books. And with a Deadpool movie in the works he will no doubt return quick. But my guess is he won't die at all.
Axdemonon Dec. 6, 2011 at 8 a.m.

As far as I can tell, there's no signal that this is the last issue in the book, so I expect TALES OF DEADPOOL IN HELLLLLLL.
