In a year when the booth at San Diego Comic-Con was canceled or so, a regular feature is moving forward: Rob Liefeld
Deadpool Sketch Scavenger Hunt.

“It’s an opportunity to celebrate the manga origins of these characters,” Liefeld said of this year’s back-to-basics

“People usually keep them, but I don’t care what people do with them,” Liefeld said. “Once they’re yours, they’re yours.”
