Marvel and DC's are making a crossover comic after 22 years
Marvel and DC's are making a crossover comic after 22 years
Marvel and DC's next comic crossover revealed: Deadpool and Batman — See a first look (exclusive)
Back in February, at a ComicsPro panel held in Glendale, Calif., the editors in chief of Marvel and DC revealed they were quietly assembling something they hadn't pulled off in more than two decades: a crossover event.
The time to reveal the next crossover is finally here...Deadpool, meet Batman.
EW can exclusively reveal that Marvel's Merc with a Mouth and DC's Dark Knight will collide this year, crossing swords and batarangs across a new publishing event. On the Marvel side, Zeb Wells, the Spider-Man comics scribe who recently worked on the big-screen spectacular Deadpool & Wolverine, pens a Deadpool/Batman one-shot with art and cover design by veteran artist Greg Capullo, who most recently worked on Wolverine: Revenge.
DC brings together comparable creative heavyweights to tackle their respective one-shot. Batman/Deadpool, launching later this November, hails from writer Grant Morrison, whose comics (including All-Star Superman and Batman and Son) now serve as inspiration for the James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC movie-verse, and artist Dan Mora, who, similar to Capullo, has an immense list of credits to his name. (Details on DC's story and the accompanying "backup adventures" will be announced at a later date.)
Man DC got Morrison to write their slop book, good for them honestly
