That Darn Deadpool: Now on 21 Variant Covers This Month Not to sound like an old-timer, but I can recall an age when appearing on a cover (yes, even a variant) meant a character, however limited their role, would at least grace a storyline in some small capacity. That age is dead and Deadpool killed it. Personally, I don’t mind. I drew Ed McGuinness’ DP on every third homework assignment I filled out through seventh grade.
