Just read a preview of Deadpool’s new run and it looks like they’re already getting rid of his new love interest.

Also how’re folks feeling about there being no “Pride 2024 issue,” and instead having the X-Men: Wedding Special? I’m hoping it’s just a title change and not an indicator of less content in the book itself.

Just read a preview of Deadpool’s new run and it looks like they’re already getting rid of his new love interest.

Ziglar indicated in an interview about the series that he is a fan of Valentine and hinted that we should not rule out them still appearing in the book. spoilers:

The preview does mention that Wade and Valentine are still sharing custody of Princess, so that suggests Valentine is still in Wade's life to some extent.

end of spoilers

Also how’re folks feeling about there being no “Pride 2024 issue,” and instead having the X-Men: Wedding Special? I’m hoping it’s just a title change and not an indicator of less content in the book itself.

The announcement of the book already confirmed that it is still this year's PRIDE issue and will feature other stories and characters:

"Like previous installments of MARVEL’S VOICES: PRIDE, X-MEN: THE WEDDING SPECIAL will also feature an incredible lineup of stories written and drawn by LGBTQIA+ talent, including Tini Howard and Wyatt Kennedy, plus the Marvel Comics debuts of acclaimed writers Tate Brombal (House of Slaughter) and Yoon Ha Lee (Ninefox Gambit, Machineries of Empire)! The stories will spotlight characters like Betsy Braddock and Rachel Summers, Loki, and many more."
