  When Deadpool learns about the mystic hammer madness that is currently plaguing the Marvel Universe, he tries to figure out a way to turn fear itself into cash itself. He bejewels a common sledgehammer, drops it in front of dimwitted, not-so-super villain the Walrus and then dresses up as the Specter of Mass Destruction to convince said villain that he has been chosen as one of the bearers of a hammer of power (which is especially difficult as Walrus can't get the hammer to actually do anything).

Publisher’s description

FEAR ITSELF TIE-INAs the Marvel Universe is wracked with FEAR ITSELF, only Deadpool sees it for what it truly is…a way to make money. Has Deadpool really been chosen as one of the worthy, granted one of The Serpent’s Hammers? Or did he just take any old hammer and go to town with some rhinestones? Either way, when Deadpool hits the street with his shiny new mallet it’s—STOP! Hammer time. Don’t miss Deadpool playing whack-a-mole with the comic event of the season!
