A vigilante turns psychoanalyst in this Foolkiller #1 exclusive preview
If you haven’t heard of Foolkiller, you are not alone. He’s one of the C-list Marvel characters getting a profile boost by being part of Deadpool’s Mercs For Money, and like his mercenary teammates, Solo and Slapstick, Foolkiller is receiving a new ongoing series as part of the Marvel Now! publishing initiative. Writer Max Bemis delivered one of Marvel’s best surprises this year with his X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever miniseries, a title that showcased his sense of humor and attention to character. It was very silly but grew to become something more poignant, and hopefully his work on Foolkiller will be similarly engaging. The series has a strong hook as it explores Greg “Foolkiller” Salinger’s attempts to rehabilitate criminals in his day job as a psychiatrist, which also gives him an opportunity to vet potential targets for his vigilante persona. (It’s far from ethical, but since when have vigilantes been concerned with job ethics?)
