Marvel has announced a new "Deadpool" comic entitled "Deadpool & Cable: Split Second."
The dynamic duo will reunite this fall in a new mini-series. Deadpool and Cable paired up in the 2004 comic by Fabian Nicieza and Reilly Brown. According to one of the creators, "Split Second" will be about "love lost and love found."
"It is about struggling through a life of regret and struggling through the soulful tug of conscience that nags at us as a species, tasking us to ask of ourselves, 'Is this all I am? Is this all I can be? Do I have the courage to be more?'" Nicieza told Polygon.
"If we fail to answers those questions for each and every one of our readers, then we will have failed in our assignment."
The new "Deadpool" comic will premiere in October. It will be a six-issue digital first series in Marvel's Infinite Comics format. A physical comic will be released by December. It will be packaged with two digital installments in each print issue.
"The time travel aspect of the story gives us the opportunity to use some really cool storytelling techniques, and we're going to be doing some stuff that will really melt brains," Reilly Brown said. "Or at least cause huge headaches at all the logical impossibilities, like any good time travel story!"
If the "Deadpool" movie would be fortunate enough to get a sequel, director Tim Miller admitted that Cable needed to be in it. "There aren't really many definitive Deadpool villains, apart from Cable," the director told Empire. "If we don't put Cable in Deadpool 2 I think we'll be run out of town on a rail."
There are speculations that a "Deadpool" movie sequel is an idea that the Fox execs are warming up to. Cable is Cyclops' future son who travels to the present and becomes the leader of X-Force. He was created by Rob Liefeld.
"Deadpool" will premiere in theaters on Feb. 12, 2016.
