Marvel Comics has revealed the final batch of cover art for Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman #1, with some must-see new pieces from artists J. Scott Campbell, Pepe Larraz, and Esad Ribić.
We also have a sneak peek at the main story, along with pages from the backup stories starring Daredevil and Green Arrow, and Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto.
On sale September 17, the Deadpool/Batman one-shot marks the first crossover between the world's greatest comic book companies in decades, soon to be followed in November by Batman/Deadpool #1, a one-shot published by DC.
Both comics will deliver explosive sagas starring Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth and DC's Caped Crusader, along with backup stories that showcase additional team-ups and showdowns between legendary characters from both universes.
On these latest variant covers, you can see even more unbelievable matchups. While Ribić's cover spotlights the main event, Campbell and Larraz's covers tease battles for two of the fiercest X-Men, pitting Psylocke against vigilante Huntress and Rogue against iconic Batman supervillain Poison Ivy.
Deadpool/Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and illustrated by Greg Capullo. The backup stories include Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru, Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, Rocket Raccoon and Green Lantern by Al Ewing and Dike Ruan, and Wolverine (Old Man Logan) and Batman (The Dark Knight Returns) by Frank Miller.
"Deadpool shows up when Gotham City is in imminent danger. The worst possible time," Wells explained in a recent interview. "Batman doesn't have a lot of patience for Deadpool. And Wade's take on Batman is...complicated. In the most Deadpool way possible."
"For me, it’s sort of working with the bookends of my career," Capullo added. "I drew Deadpool when I was on X-Force years ago and, of course, I just did a long run on Batman. That’s pretty amazing to me."
