CommentsHad this story been written now, it would have been a Deadpool story. Talking to the reader, ridiculous running gags, blatant flirting, a merc/hero for hire's adventures narrated in a light-hearted way... yeah, sounds like a Deadpool story. Talk about things being ahead of their time! Posted by: Nate Wolf | July 3, 2017 2:54 PM Comments are now closed. |
