Deadpool and Taskmaster going to beat the living shit out of the guy who had been abusing their secretary Sandi was one of the first times I wrote a scene in a comic that really made me feel something powerfully, which was that I WANTED them to go beat the shit out of the guy. I got really invested.

Looking back, it’s also one of the first moments that shows something that’s an ongoing theme in my work, which carries on to this day. Which was, it doesn’t matter if society thinks you’re trash, you can still do right to other people. Even people who have messed up can step up sometimes.

It’s interesting that I never really thought about that scene being one of the key foundations of the Secret Six, which I wrote YEARS later.

Huh.

It’s fun to see these old story bits out of context, apologies if random thoughts leap out from looking at them. :)
