Epic Games recently released the Fortnite Deadpool (Pen & Ink) Outfit, the brand new skin added to the game as part of Epic Games’ collaboration with Deadpool & Wolverine, the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Meanwhile, Reddit user u/GifanTheWoodElf highlighted the skin’s cel-shaded style, expressing how they are not the biggest fan of cel-shaded skins and how they prefer the original Deadpool Outfit.

Reddit user u/reymoru1 pointed out how since Epic Games has released Pen & Ink versions for Deadpool & Wolverine, it is likely that they might release similarly styled outfits for other characters like Spider-Man.
