    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    June has been quiet for the AO deadpool. However, I do get to make a little noise. I had Leon White / Big Van Vader in the deadpool. I just sent an e-mail to the Deadpool staff with a link to the Sports Illustrated obituary. An update should be forthcoming sometime soon.
