Revealed in  the recently released March Solicitations from Marvel an upcoming arc of the ongoing Deadpool and Spider-Man team-up series Spider-Man/Deadpool is titled “Infinite House of Civil yet Secret Crisis War Invasions.” The teaser for this story reads that a “mysterious and omnipotent” villain will “restore the fourth wall,” which will “stop Deadpool from seeing and talking to readers.” The story will take place in Spider-Man/Deadpool #47 and #48.

This could be a major blow to the merc with a mouth. The story telling device of Deadpool breaking the fourth wall was first used by writer Joe Kelly in 1997. It quickly grew to be a defining characteristic of the character and is heavily utilized in the highly successful Deadpool movies starring Ryan Reynolds.
