If you like Deadpool you will like Deathstroke from DC probably too.
Also, may I recommend:
The Phantom. They just restarted a series and I got through issues 1-8 (they are at 10, I believe) and it is quite good.
Another recommendation would be Batman’s idol:
the Shadow (old comic, an idol of Batman)
Others:
-Grifter (DC), look him up, good stuff.
-Red Hood (DC)
-Jonah Hex (DC)
-Cable (Marvel)
-Bishop (Marvel)
Hope that helps a bit,
Have fun getting back into reading.

EDIT: i just looked up The Phantom… i remember seeing a few minutes of The Phantom movie. i don’t think i have to say any more. but i will. Billy Zane ruined that character for me. damn him.

OP, what made you get back into comics after 25 years?
I’ve started getting back into them myself, after more a 30yr hiatus. But, I buy more of the trade paperbacks than actual comics for the most part. [/quote]
i guess it was a combo of all the recent Marvel movies that i’ve seen lately (Captain America, Thor, etc)… and trying to get some inspiration for my screenwriting.

hahaha, yeah, sorry about that. It did the same to me and I did not read the comic for years!
However, a buddy of mine ‘forced’ me to read the new series and I have to say it was good, much more adult, if you get my drift. Maybe you will like the character again after the movie is no longer in your memory. Shake it off bud, shake it off
Flash Thompson Venom use guns but thats because hes working for the Military so it would be weird not seeing him with a gun. TBH,I dont understand the point of having a gun if you have Venoms symbiote power. Whatever,Anti-Venom is cooler anyway.

hahaha, yeah. You know, few owners have an issue with you reading them first at your favorite comic book store. Also, sometimes there are samples online as well. Here’s a link for a Phantom story line. It is annoying to click on each page but it just gives you an idea and you might be able to find samples of comics to read before you buy as Google is your friend.
