Deadpool would be great on this team.

Unless... that's part of the point? Plus, did anyone realize their outfits look exactly like those of the evil X-Men in New Excalibur?

Unless… that’s part of the point?

And then, we'll have them fight <i>nothing but ninjas!</i>" Okay, that last part is speculation by me, but Jesus Christ, man.

I believe they're still trying to get a Deadpool movie off the ground. I always thought the pairing of the two felt forced, so maybe Nicieza is getting to play with Deadpool on his own. Or maybe teaming him with the Great Lakes Avengers (or whatever they are now) on a regular basis. Deadpool, in my opinion, could be one of those titles that hooks in people who don't necessarily want to follow all the Marvel books, but like the interaction with other characters. Oh, and I don't hold out much hope for the new X-Force. I'll be very sad if they're taking Rahne out of X-Factor. I also think the new costumes look rather silly. “Hopefully I’m overreacting and Deadpool will be in another book in some capacity”

I supposed the black and grey costumes mean they are some sort of stealth strike force. I can already smell the clichéd stench of the stories where we discover who is the most feral of the group.

In fact, it'd be fine with me if he had his own series. That's assuming, of course, that it didn't mean the cancellation of one of my favorite Marvel titles right now. So they're replacing the best part of Cable & Deadpool with the worst part of Cable & Deadpool? This may be the most devestating news I've received all year. Hopefully I'm overreacting and Deadpool will be in another book in some capacity, but I'm not feeling very optimistic. Just when I think Marvel can't alienate me any more, they alienate me even more. DC's actually got some competition. “And Cable is getting his own solo title again, replacing Cable & Deadpool.”
