Deadpool #2 2nd-Print Variant

One has to wonder why so many of these comics characters need "revamping" - if at all. Longshot, Magik, Deadpool - these were all very popular characters in their day and they all seem popular now, so why were they ever back-shelved to begin with?

In many cases, new creators took over the titles with which they were associated and chose not to work with them for one reason or another - all of them were individual components in team titles - but only after their initial popularity had waned. It just goes to show that, if the character is strong enough, there will always be some demand.

Marvel is proud to announce that Deadpool #2 has sold out at Diamond (thought copies may be available at the retail level), marking the second straight sell out for this all-new ongoing series spinning out of Secret Invasion and returns with a new printing! From the acclaimed team of writer Daniel Way (Wolverine: Origins) and artist Paco Medina (New Warriors) comes the Merc With a Mouth's hotly anticipated return! Why has he joined the Skrulls? And what does this mean for Earth? One thing's for sure: his madness is his method! Deadpool #2 Second Printing Variant has a stunning wraparound cover featuring Medina's interior art!

Daniel Crown of IGN.Com gushes, "Through two issues, Way has already shown a strong flair for the character's witty quips and comedic timing… I'm rather impressed by Paco Medina."

"Deadpool is worth reading. It's a gleefully mad romp through the more ridiculous fringes of the Marvel Universe," raves Timothy Callahan of ComicBookResources.Com.

Jim Gibbons of WizardUniverse.Com exclaims, ""This book is a delight!"

"You won't be disappointed," says Steven Bari of ComicsBulletin.Com.

With quick sell outs of both issues, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Deadpool and all Secret Invasion tie-ins. What does the shocking last page mean for Deadpool's future? Find out in Deadpool #2 Second Printing Variant!
