DEADPOOL: BADDER BLOOD

Re-imagining New Mutants into X-Force was only the start for industry maverick Rob Liefeld, one of the leaders of the 1990s comics revolution. After introducing both Cable and Deadpool, he launched an even bigger collaboration as one of the founders of Image Comics with his original property Youngblood. In 1996, he participated in Marvel’s controversial multi-title Heroes Reborn event. After collaborating with Alan Moore on revamped Image creations, Liefeld reunited with co-writer Fabian Nicieza on an X-Force miniseries and then revisited Heroes Reborn in Onslaught Reborn with writer Jeph Loeb. Liefeld returned to his most famous co-creation with the graphic novel Deadpool: Bad Blood and introduced a new sensation in Major X.

Chad Bowers is the co-writer of X-Men ’92. His credits also include Subatomic Party Girls, Bill & Ted’s Most Triumphant Return, and the YALSA-nominated Down Set Fight! (with Chris Sims). He lives in South Carolina with his wife and two sons, and spends far too much time thinking about Johnny Cash and G.I. Joe.
