So guess who's writing some Deadpool in the near future?

That's right, Doc McNinja writer, Chris Hastings.

It takes a certain kind of writer to get Deadpool. It’s hard to balance knives, guns, a razor-sharp wit and an off-kilter personality. But in FEAR ITSELF: DEADPOOL, Christopher Hastings believes he has just the formula.

Kicking off this June, the three-issue limited series pairs Hastings with frequent Deadpool artist Bong Dazo on the trail of the scatter-brained soldier-for-hire after he lucks upon a familiar hammer that falls from the sky—and this Merc’s mallet doesn’t match any you’ll find in your average hardware store.

“Oh let me tell you, it’s a totally legit magical hammer, for sure,” says Hastings. “Just like those other ones you've seen [in the teasers] with scary Juggernaut and the other scary guys. Yep. Totally real magic scary hammer.”

“Deadpool’s is better than theirs, even,” adds editor Jordan D. White,” Theirs don’t have rhinestones. Magic scary rhinestones, naturally.”

Y'know, I'm normally pretty indifferent to print comics, but this has me intrigued.
