Rob Liefeld will write and draw a five-issue limited series starring Deadpool, the character he co-created with writer Fabian Nicieza. Deadpool: Badder Blood will launch in June 2023 from Marvel Comics with a cover as well as interior art by Liefeld.

Deadpool will join forces with Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Cable to fight a new villain in the limited series, which will debut three new Liefeld-created characters: Killville, Arcata, and Shatterstorm. The story will also go deeper into the story of Deadpool’s enemy Thumper, who will marshal the criminal organizations of the Marvel Universe to take Deadpool down and also has plans to wreak havoc on the Weapon X program.

The series is a sequel to the original graphic novel Deadpool: Bad Blood, which brought Thumper to prominence as Deadpool’s antagonist (see “First Deadpool OGN”).
