This interview has made me even more excited for the new team, but until I read the first few issues, I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. Posehn and Duggan sound like they're bringing their A game, though. What originally made the character appealing to me was Kelly's black humor, so I'm glad to hear they're going to bring back a darker tone while keeping some zany antics---hopefully without descending to Way's level of Looney Tunes wackiness. I'm also glad Simone and Nicieza characters may reappear . . . Outlaw perhaps?

The only thing that sends up red flags is the about his mind becoming evenmore overcrowded. I really hope that doesn't mean additional voices!

I think anyone who was turned off by Way's run should give this one a shot.

If he's still got that retarded white caption box or anything else that stupid I'm definitely not going to bother.

I hope they keep the white box and add at least two more voices.

So far all the covers have been awesome.

I admit to being reeeeeeeeeeeeeally curious how Doctor Strange will be involved in this.

Good interview. These guys seem like a good fit for Deadpool.

Yeah they've been great so far.

That'll be a really interesting team-up with those two.

I'm super excited about the new creative team. The interview just makes me even more excited for the book. I LOVE that the artist has changed! Yes! No more Looney Tunes Deadpool!! The new costume looks great and the darker story lines sound way better than Way's crap. Too bad Marvel gave DP back to Way in Thunderbolts. Don't you think he's abused DP enough?

Agreed! Way appears to have a stranglehold on the character. On top of it, Marvel gave Way writing duties on the Deadpool video game, so we'll probably have to endure more Looney Tunes until Posehn and Duggan's version of DP becomes more firmly rooted in the MU.

To be fair, he's not doing all the writing. Dig through an interview or two and you'll get a better picture.

I haven't followed Tony Moore on any book so I don't know, can he pull a monthly? Is there any word for any fill-in artist? Tradd Moore's cover is great and I think he's style really fits Deadpool. He would be great as a fill-in for this book.

There may be assistant writers, but for all intents and purposes, Way is the head writer of the game.

Or a glorified editor.
