Deadpool 2 is doing a ton of damage at the box office this weekend. While it's working its magic at theaters across the country, Shreveport is preparing for Deadpool comic book artist John Lucas to make his return to Geek'd Con.

Geek'd Con Shreveport is ready to bust out the chimichangas for Lucas' return this August.

John has had multiple runs with everyone's favorite Merc with a Mouth, from cover artwork, to inks, and pencils...he's even done German language Deadpool books!

But that's not the only thing he's got on his resume. His art can be found in X-Men, Superman, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and Swamp Thing books. His artwork was even featured on two variant covers for Marvel's massive Civil War series.

Geek'd Con is August 17th through 19th at the Shreveport Convention Center. It's Shreveport's only "comic con" style event, and is one of the biggest events of it's kind in the state of Louisiana. The event averages over 10,000 fans a year, and has an economic impact around $1.4 million for the Shreveport area.

Come get your very own Deadpool sketch, from a professional Deadpool artist, at Geek'd Con once again this August.
