Hey everyone!
Deadpool #7, Deadpool's 25th anniversary issue, is out and it features the Masacre origin story written and drawn by me. I'm incredibly thrilled and proud to have gotten the chance to do it, but I know some folks are having trouble reading the Spanish bits. SO, I want to post the translation here so everyone can enjoy the entire story.
Hope you all like it!
Best,
Mike
“El Diablo Empujó” by Mike Hawthorne
“El Diablo Empuja” is an old spanish expression that means “The devil pushes”. My mother would often say it to me if I was, for instance, playing with a knife. A little like “Playing with fire”, only the implication is that if you play with something dangerous the Devil will push your hand, causing you to harm someone, even if you didn't intend to.
"Empujó" is past tense for "empuja". So, the title means "The Devil pushed".
