Writer Victor Gischler has this to say about it:
- Is "Merc With a Mouth" #7 the start of a new story arc, or a one-off issue? What can you tell us about it? It looks like Deadpool and Headpool encounter even more alternate reality versions of themselves.
"Merc" #7 is a diversion, sort of a breather between the two arcs, but not quite a one off. The diversion evolves organically out of the situation that Deadpool and the gang find themselves in. And yes, he does encounter alternate versions of himself. Some of these other Deadpools are cool. Others are jerks. All have Deadpool's powers, skills and fashion sense, but at least one is a stick in the mud. And another has a lot more curves.
- What can you tell me about the dynamic between Deadpool and his alternate selves? Do they like each other?
He hates some. One he likes a little too much. Ew.
