Hey hey, book lovers, take off those big thick glasses-this is Deadpool speaking! Sorry Marvel, somethin' happened to your copy guy. Anyway, this is my first prose novel, and they got this dude Stefan Petrucha to write it. He's good people. He's written novels and comics. But here's the thing: This book is about dogs. Dogs that turn into big nasty monsters. And then I gotta kill 'em. Thing is, I like killing people-the ones that deserve it, anyway-but I won't kill dogs. No way. So that's what we call a character dilemma. What-wait for the paperback? Who said that?! I'll gut you right now... GraphicAudio® Production.
