I Must Have Been Really, Really Good In A Past Life

You know, if someone asked me to describe what the perfect comic book would be, what would I say?

Let's see...how about starring Shang-Chi...written by Jonathan Hickman...What else? Oh, I don't know. How about a KUNG FU MOTORCYCLE RACE??!? Yeah, that would be sweet!! Against whom? Uhh, how about, oh, I don't know, Deadpool?!? Oh, yeah, and Shang-Chi would be wearing Chuck Taylors. Plus, there had better be a Parental Advisory due to much unsavory kung fu violence!! Yeah, that would be the perfect comic book.

Too bad it could never happen...

It’s DEADPOOL versus SHANG-CHI, the peerless Master of Kung-Fu, in a KUNG-FU MOTORCYCLE RACE!

WHAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!

Damn, this must be karmic reward for being so ill all month. Thank you, karma!!

Ha. Ha. The Chucks are kickin'.

They should urbanize Deadpool in some feature.

Deadpool with Caucasian-boy dreads coming out the back of his mask?

How about some Deadpool bling?

Deadpool with his pants halfway down his . . . okay, forget that one . . .

Deadpool in Phat Farm and Timberlands?

Deadpool doing a handlock/shoulderbump with Wolverine: "I luv ya bro'!"
