Because he is uber-busy in the anthology series Deadpool: Seven Slaughters #1 which includes creators such as Marc Guggenheim, Greg Land, Chad Bowers, Steve Foxe, Cody Ziglar, Justina Ireland, Cullen Bunn, Gail Simone, Gerado Sandoval, Federica Mancin, David Baldeon, Phillip Sevy, Whilce Portacio and more.
