After Deadpool appeared briefly in aWolverine: Origins storyline, Way launched a new ongoingDeadpool series with artistPaco Medina.[7] ArtistCarlo Barberi joined the series after theSecret Invasion tie-in opening arc,[8] followed by theDark Reign tie-in storylines "How Low Can You Go?", which saw the return ofBob, Agent of Hydra, and "Magnum Opus", a four-issue crossover withThunderbolts.[9] In addition to writing the ongoingDeadpool series for four years, Way also contributed the script for theDeadpool video game, developed byHigh Moon Studios and published byActivision in 2013,[10] the same year Way wrote the new volume of theThunderbolts series launched a part of the company-wideMarvel NOW! initiative.[11][12]
Despite being labeled asVolume One, Book One of Six, this issue was the only publication released in the series and by Mad American in general.
Way wanted to remake the story with "an improved script" and a new artistJon Proctor,[13] but Way and Proctor ended up working on another project instead:
Gun Theory, agraphic novel that was turned into a 4-issue limited series after being picked up for publication via the short-lived revival ofMarvel'sEpic imprint.
Gun Theory #1–2 (with the last two issues solicited[14][15] but cancelled by Way and Proctor due to contractual disputes with Marvel,[16] 2003)

In 2013, Way and Proctor launched aKickstarter campaign to release an "updated" and complete version ofGun Theory in the form of a graphic novel.[17]
While the campaign failed to get funded, the graphic novel was eventually published byDark Horse asGun Theory (160 pages, 2017,ISBN1-61655-657-9)
