Ares Awesome and Deadpool Chuckles.

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are four scans from Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth #10. Wade is the funny and an awesome cover for the next issue.

Plus, four scans from The Savage Axe of Ares one-shot. (It's wonderful and I suggest you pick it up.) One scan of editors being funny, one scan of a creepy page and two pages of awesome art.

Enjoy!

Wade and crew are trying to escape the Zombieverse. They find a new ride!







The cover for the next issue. Very cool.



Now the Ares one-shot. It's good, written the style of the old Conan Savage Sword Marvel magazines.

Let's start with a retro comedy-ad.



Ha!

Now this page is from the first story. Ares is helping two Soviet soldiers escape with a stolen weapon. He gives them creepy map-quest directions.



This is the first page from another story. I just love the art and the lines of the characters.



And this pin-up is just bad-ass! If you don't like it then you're a communist.



By Crom! I mean Ares!

Lone Merc and Head? I'd buy that.

And the b/w stuff is gorgeous. Though the pinup seems more reminiscent of Slaine than Conan to me. Maybe it's just the hair in the hair helmet, though.

So is Ares not dead then?

[taggerung301]

he got bored with being dead

[proteus_lives]

These are stories from before.

Oh man, DAT ART on the Ares stuff. Looooove it.

Who is WOJNA?

[proteus_lives]

It's from the story, it means "War" in a character's language.

[kirke_novak]

Which would be Polish.

OK, that bit with the severed arms pointing the way is just CREE-PY. It could easily be a scene from a horror movie. I don't know if that's what he was going for or not, but if so, he nailed it.
Oh, and that bit with the blimp is pretty awesome. Turning 'Goodyear' into a mirror-image 'Deadpool' logo? THAT takes a stroke of twisted genius.

[comicoz]

That's the good ol' Deadpool stuff.

I only hope that he can get out of overexposureville before he stops being funny.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Not to sound depressing, but... this is mainstream comics we're talking about. Furthermore, this is MARVEL, the company who has a rotating stable of about four or five 'hot' characters, and squeezes the juice out of them while manipulating the rest like puppets. They did it with Wolvie, they did it with Sabertooth and Venom, and they'll do it with Deadpool. It's only a matter of time. The best we can hope for is that his initial overexposure happens early on, so that he has a chance to recover and make a comeback.

ARES!

Holy Jesus that inking. *swoons*

I strongly approve of the Deadpool cover. It's cool in a creepy way - which I also approve of.
