Tomorrow, you can pick up a copy of
Deadpool No. 40. The issue will feature several special guest appearances. The notable is comedian/actor Sarah Silverman, who protesting against the Roxxon company. They are a sinister company out to make a quick buck by "tracking," which is a play on fracking but with gamma rays.
Gerry Dugan, who co-wrote the issue, explained to
comicbook.com that they were thinking about using someone else, but chose Silverman because he knows her. There wouldn't be any "red tape" to cute through. "
She’s always up for fun and we thought this would be a way for her to do something and appear somewhere where she hasn’t before," Gerry Dugan said. "
She won an Emmy this year and is doing movies along with her stand-up. But now she can say she conquered comics. You know, it sort of came out of it being a fun gag but then also sort of including a voice who already politically active."
Roxxon has made an appearance in Marvel's Agent Carter, but it has also be at the heart of Jason Aaron's Thor storyline and that is why Dugan requested Aaron to be in the issue as well. "So, we dropped him a line asking if we could borrow him," Dugan explained. "He obliged and was excited, but I responded and said “No, I want to use YOU.” That's how he and Jason Latour ended up in the issue."
