Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld is preparing to bid farewell to the merc with a mouth, as after illustrating thousands of pages and dozens of covers of his signature creation, the veteran comic book creator is calling it a day. Liefeld plans to go out on a high note for his final Deadpool story, as he is currently working on a new comic book that'll be released after Deadpool 3 hits cinemas in July. As for why Liefeld is planning to retire from drawing Deadpool, Liefeld explained that health issues have been hampering his passion for the creator.

"About 10 years ago, I really felt like I was in a groove, and in my mind, I was going to do this till I was 70," Liefeld explained to The Hollywood Reporter. "But the eyes and the hands, and the aches and the pains--they have a different timetable, I've learned as I've gotten older. The last year's worth of work was the hardest to produce."
