We look at the back of a man, standing, whose head had just been sliced clean off with a sword. In the space between where the neck and head split, we see Deadpool's eyes. He is pissed.
CAPTION (Yellow): Life, sometimes, is terrible...
Panel 2
Deadpool stalks towards a dude leaning on the closed doors of a car. The dude is pointing a pistol at Deadpool and shooting. Deadpool just shrugs off the bullets entering his body.
CAPTION (Yellow): Even I'm sane enough to realize that sometimes.
SFX (gunshot): BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
CAPTION (Yellow): And sometimes, the monsters of this world don't need super powers.
Panel 3
Deadpool sticks his sword through the dude's head.
CAPTION (Yellow): Sometimes, the most ordinary human can do the shittiest thing...
Panel 4
Deadpool opens the car door at the back seat and takes out a baby whose eyes glow red, and have glowing patterns in his arms. A half-eaten chimichanga rests in the dashboard of the car that Deadpool hasn't yet noticed.
CAPTION (Yellow): ...to the most innocent.

ReplyDeleteLove the tonal switcheroo. Deadpool is one of those characters that challenges all kinds of writing. Well done, Arby.
