Liefeld set to return to Deadpool once again for some Badder Blood

Bad Blood isn’t quite brutal enough for Deadpool and creator Rob Liefeld, who’ll be moving onto even Badder Blood some time in 2023.

Now we have baaaaad(er) blood

Is it fair to say that almost anyone who reads comics knows the name “Rob Liefeld”? He’s either created or had a hand in creating the likes of X-Force, Cable, and Deadpool after all. And those are some monster names there.

While Liefeld has been in and out of Marvel’s universe since the 90s, he returned recently for Deadpool: Bad Blood. Apparently that title did very well for Marvel too, since it’s getting a sequel.

Aptly titled Deadpool: Badder Blood, this new tale will see the Merc team with some Marvel heavy-hitters for a lore-building story. That might sound odd, but as Liefeld points out, Deadpool doesn’t really have a rogues gallery. And according to him, it’s about time he gets one.

This latest chapter will see the Merc with the Mouth team up with guest stars like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Cable against a dangerous new villain. Deadpool’s upcoming mission will also raise the stakes of Deadpool’s intense feud with his adversary known as Thumper, revealing surprising details about the deadly killer’s origin along the way. Additionally, fans will be introduced to brand-new Liefeld created characters including KILLVILLE, ARCATA, and the mysterious warrior SHATTERSTORM! 

“Deadpool really doesn’t have a Rogue’s Gallery of his own, he mostly tangles with other heroes villains, so I dedicated the entirety of Bad Blood to building up the story of Thumper,” Liefeld told The Hollywood Reporter. “With Badder Blood, Thumper is making moves across the gangs and crime organizations of the Marvel Universe to squeeze Deadpool and deliver him into his clutches. Thumper is also moving to destroy all the scientists behind the Weapon X program and specifically the program that created him. It’s a romp that continues to build out a Rogues Gallery for Deadpool.”
