Next June, the iconic (and often divisive) Rob Liefeld returns to Marvel Comics for another action-packed saga starring one of his greatest creations in Deadpool: Badder Blood.
A sequel to Liefeld's hit Deadpool: Bad Blood, the title will be a five-issue limited series that will deliver another definitive Deadpool adventure in a way only the writer and artist can. As the character's co-creator, Liefeld has always been vocal when it comes to Wade Wilson's portrayal on screen, and we're sure he's hoping Marvel Studios will take note of this latest comic book series!
That will see the Merc with the Mouth team up with guest stars like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Cable against a dangerous new villain. Deadpool's upcoming mission will also raise the stakes of his intense feud with his adversary, Thumper, revealing surprising details about the deadly killer’s origin along the way.
Additionally, it's said we can look forward to being introduced to brand-new Liefeld-created characters including Killville, Arcata, and the mysterious warrior, Shatterstorm.
"Deadpool really doesn’t have a Rogue’s Gallery of his own, he mostly tangles with other heroes villains, so I dedicated the entirety of Bad Blood to building up the story of Thumper," Liefeld tells The Hollywood Reporter. "With Badder Blood, Thumper is making moves across the gangs and crime organizations of the Marvel Universe to squeeze Deadpool and deliver him into his clutches."
"Thumper is also moving to destroy all the scientists behind the Weapon X program and specifically the program that created him. It’s a romp that continues to build out a Rogues Gallery for Deadpool."
