Snider is a huge comic book fan, and a huge Deadpool fan
"But my favorite character of all time from Marvel comics is a character they had called Deadpool -also a big fan of Daredevil - but Deadpool is the one that I started really reading the comics with and he's this comedic person who constantly cracks jokes as he kills people for money. Which, uh, is kind of an odd thing. But he was the character I wrote for my first thing in Marvel Comics presents #10 I was featuring their character Deadpool. So it was really a dream come true to get to write that character. I'm a huge comic book fan, I read well over a hundred comics every month, that's like, that's my passion. I really love comic books and they really are, uh, its just one of my favorite things in the world."
