Deadpool & Cable: Split Second is about "love lost and love found," Nicieza told Polygon. "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?'
"If we fail to answers those questions for each and every one of our readers, then we will have failed in our assignment."
"Also," added Brown, "Deadpool shoots a lot of guys. Don't forget that part!"
Deadpool & Cable: Split Second #1 will premiere in October as a six-issue digital first series in Marvel's Infinite Comics format. It'll also be packaged as a physical comic with two digital installments in each print issue. The first of those will hit real life shelves in December.
