HAMMERS, SHMAMMERS.
Is anyone else sick of hammers? No, not the genie-pants-wearing, dancing kindthe tool/weapon kind. Deadpool sure is. When he first saw a bunch of heroes and villains getting all power-boosted by magic hammers it seemed novel. The idea of taking a regular hammer and gussying it up to make a real loser think he was powerful, then beating the tar out of him for money? That sounded like a keeper. When it turns out the hammer was actually an enchanted one stolen from undercover werewolf hunters that only activates in the light of the full moon? And when that loser (one mort known as The Walrus) starts pounding on Pool? Right about then is when hammers start seeming less cool.
