Top Ten Tuesdays - 10 New Deadpool Ongoing Series

Deadpool has seen meteoric rise in his popularity in the past couple of years has surprised just about everyone. Whether it is from his appearance in the Wolverine: Weapon X film, or just a natural interest from readership, the Merc with a Mouth currently has three ongoing series, along with a fourth one starting in April, The Deadpool Corps. You think I'm joking? The editor of the Deadpool titles, Axel Alonso, confirmed it in his Twitter account. Unless I am mistaken, Wade Wilson now sits alongside the likes of Spider-Man and Wolverine as the only single characters from Marvel to have four ongoing titles, which are: his eponymous title, Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth, the recently started Deadpool Team-Up series, and the aforementioned Deadpool Corps. But why stop at four, right? This horse has not been flogged enough, and there's more juice to squeeze out of his popularity, so here are ten more ideas for new Deadpool ongoing series. Hit the jump to see the solicitations for them, including (badly) photoshopped mock up covers!.
