Rob Liefeld Claims Deadpool Corps Already "Cancelled" With Issue 12

Rob Liefeld Claims Deadpool Corps Already "Cancelled" With Issue 12Yesterday, Marvel announced that the readers could decide which Deadpool comic would be cancelled, Deadpool Team-Up or Deadpool Corps.

Rob Liefeld, who left Deadpool Corps with issue 9 was taken aback. He tweeted;

Just checked out that poll. That's a charade. The decision has already been made.

And I honestly thought I'd seen everything possible in this business….

The TRUTH shall set you free. And the truth is that all discussions and correspondence on DPC has it as a 12 issue mini-series. Confused.

On the Bleeding Cool forums, he clarified;

Hey everyone, long time no chat.

First off, I'd like to point out that my last issue, #9 has been completed. I asked off DPC in the summer and stayed until #9. The book was always referred to as a 12 issue maxi series, like Merc w/a Mouth before it. I did covers #1-12. 12 was referred to as the final cover.

I'm confused as to the poll. But a stunt is a stunt and Marvel is free to do as they please. Maybe it will rally support. It's certainly grabbed attention. Never know. I just hope that Victor and Marat's work on DPC is completed.

And those of you who supported both books, thank you.

So is this a fix? Are Marvel really counting your votes? And if so, what if they say that Deadpool Team-Up should be cancelled? What then?
