Deadpool!

Deadpool has been my favorite Marvel character since shortly after his first or second limited series, back when Juggernaut was trying to capture him to fix up Black Tom or something like that. I don't remember how old I was, but in two issues Deadpool had busied himself with
- bitching about how with his face, he couldn't even get served at Taco Bell
- drinking to get over that fact at a shitty bar
- blowing up said bar
- hitting on Siryn. Poorly.
- taunting Juggernaut
- taunting a swordsman
- losing a hand to swordsman, and chalking that up to "[...]showing off for the broad! That was my favorite hand!"
and generally packing in more mayhem and shit-talkery into 30 pages than any other character I'd seen before (or since).

Fast forward a couple years, and I've also been reading the webcomic Dr. Mcninja. Easily the best ongoing thing to get spawned from the somthingawful forums, and with far, far better art and writing than any webcomic deserves.

And now, Chris Hastings is writing Deadpool.

Internet, sometimes you do something to make me forget all the goatse, rickrolling, and facebook bullshit you've done.
