Not to mention the fact that Kelly is the one who basically fleshed out Deadpool's actual personality and did most of the legwork in getting him over his blatantly plagiaristic beginnings to make him a decent character in his own right. So there's some irony there.But that's what made it funny. Rob Liefeld created Deadpool as a Deathstroke rip-off. Hell, even when he was created Fabian Nicieza went to Liefeld and flatout told him that Deadpool was a blatant plagarization of Deathstroke.
Having alternate-universe Deathstroke being a Deadpool rip-off was funny in that it turned the tables. That and the fact that Joe Kelly wrote Deadpool.

I'm sure if given the opportunity, he would certainly try.
I demand some ass shots of Batman, damn it. EQUALITY!!!
Sounds incredibly boring. That seems to happen whenever they split an issue up between like 8 creative teams. It's nice to think of it as an all-star issue, but in practice, no one has any time to actually do anything worthwhile. I was never even on the fence for it, myself; I happily passed. I'm looking forward to Kelly's issue(s), though.So, I happened to found this at another board; it details what stories, and from whom, will be in issue 75. I'll spoiler tag it for those who are planning to pick it up, but for those on the fence, this might be something you're interested in:
spoilers:
Levitz/Ordway: A LOSH story that involves Batman and Supes to a minor extent
Seagle/Kristiansen: Weird "story"/parody. Involves Seagle getting call to write a 2 page story for issue 75, but he declines. Yeah I know
Tucci: Kids playing S/B dress up at a comic con and taking down "villains"
Hughes: Sort of a quick run through of the Supergirl and Batgirl legacies. Could have easily been a poster.
Krul/Manapul: Tim/Connor seek advice/answers regarding the Tim and Cassie relationship from Dick/Clark.
Thompson: 2 pin-ups of Selina and Lois
Green/Johnson/Davis/Albuquerque: A follow up to the S/B issue (issues?) with the child Batman & Superman.
Rouleau: An objective look at "who is best at being a superhero's best friend?" comparing Krypto and Ace
Azzarello/Bermejo: JOKER AND LEX. 'Nuff said. Actually.... more should be said. It's Joker & Lex done in the style of Calvin & Hobbes
Finch: Details in first post
Tomasi/Ha: Father & son talk about the times they've played pretend and defeated DCU villains
end of spoilers
To be honest...I'm not as sure now.
Seagle got too meta for his own good.
