Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld has recently revealed some of his work on his new work in progress Deadpool:Badder Blood. This is the follow-up to his highly successful Deadpool: Bad Blood. The preview artwork shows Deadpool, Cable, Wolverine, and Thumper.
While previously discussing the project, Liefeld had previewed art revealing a new character so far known only as Shatterstorm. This new character bears a resemblance in name and appearance to Shatterstar, a character that Liefeld created for his original X-Force run in the 1990s. If this is a re-imagining of that character or a completely new entity is unknown at this time.
For Deadpool: Badder Blood, Liefeld is reteaming with writers Chad Bowers and Chris Sims to continue the story of Deadpool and his old friend Thumper. In addition, whereas Bad Blood featured appearances by members of Liefeld’s X-Force roster, Liefeld’s cover to Badder Blood revealed appearances by Wolverine and Cable.
“All I was trying to do was create the next Wolverine,” Liefeld said. “Wolverine was my favorite character in the history of comics. When I encountered Wolverine, you have to understand I was eight, I bought the Hulk issue — #181 I think it is — off the stands, off the spinner rack. Who is this awesome new character? I loved the name, the look. When he popped up in X-Men, I flipped out. When [John] Byrne took over and they put greater emphasis on him. When he got his solo miniseries with [Frank] Miller.”
