Comic Book Conversations

The guys over at the Who Would Win? podcast kindly invited me to be the moderator for their episode about a battle between Marvel and DC's most impressive marksmen: Bullseye and Deadshot! It was a close fight between Daredevil's deadly foe and Batman's accurate enemy, but in the end, only one of them could walk away as the winner. The episode's only about 40 minutes long, so please go ahead and give it a listen if you also love thinking about these fun fights. Listen to the episode here: http://bit.ly/2pSEIuA

This line from Cable is an obvious nod to the absurd and hilarious flashback issue Deadpool #26 (which is also illustrated by Koblish and co-written by Duggan) and it immediately took me out of the issue. That may sound like a bad thing, but it's definitely not. This line made me think about how Duggan's been controlling the Merc with a Mouth's main title since 2012 and it has yet to disappoint - impressive, right? The guy's delivered everything that I would want from a Deadpool story. There's consistently over-the-top comedy, plenty of brutal action, amazing worldbuilding throughout, and lots of moments that'll remind you that Deadpool is so much more than just a goofball with a healing factor - he's a tormented guy who won't always do the...
