Let it be one-shot, a whole run, mini-series or guest appearance in other character's book, who you think should have a shot at writing Deadpool?
Here are some of my choices:
Mark Millar - Kinda natural choice, since he loves to write stuff with a lot of violence and dark humor. Just make sure that you have a good editor to keep an eye on him, so we don't have another Nemesis in our hands.
Robert Kirkman - Just take a look at the first two Marvel Zombies. Kirkman can write some really funny, but also really twisted stuff and if he can make bunch of flesh-eating zombies likeable protagonists, I'm sure that he could make psychopathic mercenary likeable. Also, if you have read Invincible, you should know that he is good with meta-jokes.
Tim Seeley - I actually believe that if he could have a free hands with the character, he could be the next Joe Kelly. Just take a look at Hack/Slah (note: I have only read Omnibus 1, so there's a possibility that his writing has gone downhill since then). Tim can make characters really messed up in their heads, making you wonder if they are really any better than the villains, while also having a lot of fun with the tongue-in-cheek violence.
Garth Ennis - Not really sure if I would like to see him tackle mainstream Marvel Universe Deadpool, but maybe... just maybe, it would be interesting to see him do darker alternative universe story about Deadpool.
