Daniel Way (born December 27, 1974) is an American comic book writer, known for his work on Marvel Comics series such as Wolverine: Origins and Deadpool, as well as the Deadpool video game.
Way received the Xeric Grant in 2000 for his debut publication, Violent Lifestyle. Through Violent Lifestyle, Way was introduced to Marvel Comics editor Axel Alonso, who hired Way for a Deathlok mini-series that was cancelled prior to publication.
After Deadpool appeared briefly in a Wolverine: Origins storyline, Way launched a new ongoing Deadpool series with artist Paco Medina. Artist Carlo Barberi joined the series after the Secret Invasion tie-in opening arc, followed by the Dark Reign tie-in storylines "How Low Can You Go?", which saw the return of Bob, Agent of HYDRA, and "Magnum Opus", a four-issue crossover with Thunderbolts. In addition to writing the ongoing Deadpool series for four years, Way also contributed the script for the Deadpool video game, developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision in 2013, the same year Way wrote the new volume of the Thunderbolts series launched a part of the company-wide Marvel NOW! initiative.

Early work
Violent Lifestyle (with J. P. Dupras, self-published as Mad American Productions, 2000)
Despite being labeled as Volume One, Book One of Six, this issue was the only publication released in the series and by Mad American in general.
Way wanted to remake the story with "an improved script" and a new artist Jon Proctor, but Way and Proctor ended up working on another project instead:
Gun Theory, a graphic novel that was turned into a 4-issue limited series after being picked up for publication via the short-lived revival of Marvel's Epic imprint.
Gun Theory #1–2 (with the last two issues solicited but cancelled by Way and Proctor due to contractual disputes with Marvel, 2003)
Bye-Bye, Harvey: A Gun Theory Short Story (prequel one-shot, self-published as Bad Press, 2006)
This one-shot also featured a preview of Way's unreleased 5-issue limited series Heavier Than God (art by Ken Knudtsen)
In 2013, Way and Proctor launched a Kickstarter campaign to release an "updated" and complete version of Gun Theory in the form of a graphic novel.
While the campaign failed to get funded, the graphic novel was eventually published by Dark Horse as Gun Theory (160 pages, 2017, ISBN1-6165-5657-9)
