Cover by PEPE LARRAZ & DAVID CURIEL
When Forbush Man is murdered, could it be the beginning of a killing spree that’s no laughing matter? Deadpool sure thinks so!

If that plot ain’t nuts enough, brace yourself for Squirrelpool! As the bodies start to pile up, Wade and Howard investigate why their pals keep losing their heads — literally! Maybe Doctor Strange, Master of the Mirthful Arts, can work his magic and help put an end to this killing joke before Deadpool becomes the punchline!

I know villain series don't generally work for long, but I think I would be all in for an Arcade ongoing, in which every story arc he took on a different Marvel superhero.

Ew, Greg Land art? Oh man, I was really looking forward to this series. Hopefully that's the only issue that Land is drawing, because nothing ruins a comic book series a quickly or as badly as Greg Land art.
Also, I guess Captain Marvel and The Inhumans are heavily involved? So I have to temporarily care about those things just to read a story about Marvel superheroes fighting Kirby Monsters...?
ROCKET RACCOON #3
MATTHEW ROSENBERG (W) • JORGE COELHO (A)
Cover by David Nakayama
GROUNDED!
• You know what raccoons are good for? Hunting!
• You know who’s good at hunting? Kraven the Hunter!
• You know who thinks those last two points are false? Rocket!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
Well, Kraven already captured Rocket for the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl/Howard The Duck crossover, "Animal House," so I would assume that Kraven could take him here. On the other hand, Rocket has home book advantage, so maybe this will be a pretty close fight, after all.
...
Hey, I thought that Kraven gave up hunting, and started hunting hunters instead...?

Slapstick’s local mall is overrun by little cartoon minotaurs! The TAURS! They’re adorably deadly! Adeadlable! PLUS: Why are there so many cartoons becoming real, anyways?
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99
Minotaurs? Those are clearly centaurs and not minotaurs. WTF, Slapstick?

1. That AVENGERS series seems to be a kind of hidden history sort of thing: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP160925. Feel like I should be more interested in it than I am.
2. Ugh, CHAMPIONS logo, yes. It's tough to pinpoint, but it gets so many things so wrong.
3. If shop sales are any indication — and have heard from others, too — the core DEADPOOL series will always have readers. Nobody's reading these spinoff things.
