Marvel premiered the first look at the solicitation and at Ellie as Deadpool during the Diamond Retailer Lunch at Comic-Con International: San Diego. She’s front-and-center on artist Taurin Clarke’s freshly revealed cover for Deadpool #7, and on Mark Bagley’s variant cover, both seen here:
So, how can the famously un-freakin'-killable Wade Wilson be killed? Apparently he’ll meet his end at the hands of his new arch-enemy Death Grip, but we’ll have to read Deadpool #6 to find out what it actually takes.
Ellie has been around for a while, and was a central character in theDeadpool and Wolverineteam-up story ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,’ one of thebest comic pairings of the two characterswho now share top-billing in their own blockbuster film. She’s receiving training from none other than Deadpool’s old frenemy Taskmaster, who made his name by training the henchmen of other big name supervillains.
“Deadpool is dead—long live Deadpool! It was previously revealed that Wade Wilson will meet his end at the hands of new super villain Death Grip this September in Deadpool #6,” reads Marvel’s official announcement. “Following this shocking turn of events, his daughter, Ellie Camacho, will step up as the all-new Deadpool starting in October’s Deadpool #7!”
“Wade has fallen, and his daughter Ellie has taken up the mantle!” adds the now officially revealed solicitation text for Deadpool #7. “Taskmaster continues her mercenary training, but what she really wants is vengeance. And to get that, she’ll need Princess’ help.”
For the new arc, series writer Cody Ziglar will be joined by new co-writer Alexis Quasarano (known for her work on Max’s Harley Quinn streaming series) and guest artist Andrea Di Vito.
