At least we only have to wait till tomorrow to find out to what "Legacy" refers.

Maybe. I mean, this sounds like the best Deadpool comic but it's sill a Deadpool comic. I will get the first issue if certain others like it.

[Brandon McKinnis]

I wish he was fighting that Godzilla-esque creature in the first issue instead of Zombie Gerald Ford, but I'll give it a go since Posehn is pretty funny.

And so we have confirmation that the price is dependent on the property.

Peep the $2.99 pricetag folks!

Also, that Moore cover is fantastic. I hope he can keep up with the monthly deadline or that they have a good fill-in lined up.

EDIT: And you still get a digital copy.

That's actually a Geoff Darrow cover, I'd bet. Tony Moore is a great artist, but that hyper detailed dinosaur + cats is not his style at all. That said, what the heck is happening on that cover. I believe that is the first ever a cat breathing dragon :).

$2.99 is a big plus. Shows the lower tier titles will still be cheaper. I still refuse to buy a $3.99, 20 page comic.

That is a fantastic cover. I like the costume tweaks too. I wonder if Deadpool will go back to his cancer ridden self by the end of Way's run.

[Wild Styles]

I might try this out. I've always somewhat liked Deadpool and now would be the perfect opportunity to get into the character.

Looking at the price, we can kinda see how Marvel will be pricing the comics going forward. $4.00 for the big characters/teams and $3.00 for the smaller properties. I can get behind that. Especially if the $4.00 books are quality which they are looking to be going by what's been announced.

Tony Moore can do no wrong in my eyes.

Well, when he's on time that is.

[John Zaleski]

Queue people crying that deadpool gets too much attention.

That cover is SOLID. can't wait

This is the closet I've come to maybe considering to attempt to read a Deadpool comic.

Not to be a whiner, but I really miss the Joe Kelly days, where the humor and antics were secondary, and the characters and plot were the most important elements. Kelly didn't go into it thinking "What's the goofiest, crazy idea I can come up with," but rather "what would make sense for DP to be doing at this point and what would further develop him as a character." At least it felt to me like that was the thought behind Kelly's stories.
I'll give this a chance, since it does sound like things will have more repercussions than in Way's run, but from the brief interview it still feels like they're going for shock-and-wtf-value.

$2.99, written by someone not named Way and a digital copy?

Hello? Marvel? I'll take eight!

Sure he's over saturated at this point, but Deadpool's got a long history of really great solo (And solo-esque, C&D) titles. Way was the first time somebody got a really extended shitty run on him. Hopefully this one gets us back in the game.

Simone and Nicieza did plenty of work with that. Sure, both of them were funny, but plot was absolutely primary, especially with Nicieza.
