MARVEL COMICS NEWS ROUNDUP

Marvel Comics has unveiled details and images for Deadpool #29 -- an Original Sin tie-in -- in May.

Here's how the book is described:

"The shocking truth about Deadpool's family comes to light! And everything you thought you knew about the Merc With the Mouth is about to change.

"Nobody knows the full story of Deadpool's origin, or what happened to his family -- even Wade himself. Manipulated at the hands of Butler and the brutal Weapon Plus program, Wade Wilson was transformed into the indestructible killing machine known as Deadpool.

"But there is more to the story. Before being fully indoctrinated by Butler's offshoot of Weapon Plus once and for all, all ties to Wade's past had to be severed. Now, thanks to the energies of The Watcher's all-seeing eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Adsit and Preston have uncovered the terrible secret of Deadpool's family. And the shocking truth about their fate will shake you to your core!"

""Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn have struck a perfect balance in their run on Deadpool," said editor Jordan D. White. "They know how to bring the funny, but they've also been able to reveal the horrific trauma twinkie that lies just beneath Deadpool's deep-fried batter exterior. To mix disgusting body metaphors in with that food metaphor, the particular scab that they're peeling off with this story is covering a wound Wade doesn't even know he suffered...and one that might just be too much for him to handle."
