Without the worlds, the characters and the concepts that we create and in this specific case, the world of Deadpool there are no films to shoot. No blockbusters to distribute ... I am not the easy button at Staples. I am the human imagination behind at all.Liefeld added: Comic book creators cannot continue to be relegated as afterthoughts. This is easy to address.
