One look at this week’s pull list and you will see that Secret Invasion is definitely gearing up. And though I’m simply hoping that the Avengers will get the hell out of the Savage Land, the mini-series tie-ins are actually not half bad. Next in line, is Deadpool, and I’m just loving what this anti-hero mercenary is going to do.

The Merc with a Mouth is back and ready to kick butt in his brand new on-going series! Join the Crimson Nutcase, Deadpool, for action and wisecracks in Deadpool #1! As the Skrulls continue their attack on Earth, the world is being torn upside down and only one person can save us in this new ongoing series, spinning out of Secret Invasion! He’s Deadpool and he’s crazier and deadlier than ever before! Don’t miss the explosive debut of this new series by writer Daniel Way (Wolverine Origins, Ghost Rider, Bullseye: Greatest Hits) and fan-favorite artist Paco Medina (New Warriors, New X-Men)! Plus, an eye popping, variant cover, featuring artwork from the legendary Rob Liefeld!

Deadpool gets swept up the chaos of Secret Invasion! Will he step up to the plate and save the human race? His madness is his method and you’re not going to want to miss it in Deadpool #1!
