Warning: contains a preview of Deadpool: Black, White & Blood #1!
Deadpool has always been one of the most colorful Marvel characters, but that changes this August when the Merc with a Mouth is released in a new black-and-white anthology. But Deadpool isn't leaving his violent ways behind, and as the title Deadpool: Black, White & Blood suggests, there will plenty of gore to go around.
Hot on the heels of Carnage: Black, White & Blood, Deadpool will get his own anthology series in August. The comic features three tales of Wade Wilson. The first is written by Tom Taylor with art by Phil Noto, the second is written by Ed Brisson with Whilce Portacio on pencils and Rachelle Rosenberg handling color art. Finally, the last tale is brought to life by James Stokoe. Coming August 4, the series will combine Deadpool's irreverent, bittersweet humor with the artistic challenge of only being able to rely on the color that admittedly tends to end up splashed all over everything Wade touches.
As with previous characters in the Black, White & Blood style, adventures will be presented in monochrome apart from Deadpool's signature color. Both Wolverine and Carnage have featured in their own similarly-titled anthologies, with Carnage's ending with its fourth issue on July 14. Preview art released by Marvel Comics shows Deadpool will team up with fan-favorite hero Honey Badger, aka Scout - a clone of Wolverine's daughter - and visit a settlement established by Marvel villain Omega Red, who Wade has tussled with in the past.
The recent Deadpool: Nerdy 30 showed the strength of throwing Deadpool into an anthology format. Anarchic and shocking at his best, Wade suits the approach of being presented in several short stories, each with their own big idea for him to suffer through or subvert. Experimental titles like You Are Deadpool (where the reader chooses the narrative path) and Deadpool Killustrated (in which Deadpool hops around classic literature killing famous characters) have shown that giving Deadpool a weird premise only makes the character more fun, especially since his fourth-wall breaking awareness is likely to mean that at some point, Wade will realize he's missing his usual colors.
Deadpool has been somewhat out of the spotlight following the conclusion of his most recent series, bemoaning in the recent Cable #11 that he struggles to get a guest-star role in modern comics. While Wade may have exagerrated the struggle he's facing, his fans will be glad to have a new five-issue miniseries dedicated to his adventures, especially one that seems set to dive into his continuity and revisit enemies and allies from his checkered past. Look out for Deadpool: Black, White & Blood #1 when it releases later this year.
