Marvel Comics has confirmed that Wolverine's ongoing series will return in April from writer Benjamin Percy and artist Adam Kubert. This new era follows X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine, and will see everyone's favourite clawed mutant team up with...Deadpool!
Wade Wilson was the king of Staten Island - now he wants to be an honorary citizen of Krakoa. Wolverine just wants him to shut up. But when Deadpool uncovers a dangerous plot that could mean doom for the mutants’ safe haven, it’s going to take a titanic team-up of the Best There Is and the Merc with a Mouth to quell the threat. But that doesn’t mean Logan has to like it.
"Readers will not only experience a non-stop thrill ride, starting in April, but a kickoff story that is as irreverent and hilarious as it is heart-bruised," Percy promises. "We've been teasing Deadpool for some time now, and he's bullying his way into the pages of Wolverine for a wild (and reluctant) team-up that feels like some cousin to Midnight Run and The Fugitive. Get ready for more Maverick mayhem, more CIA spycraft, and more danger (yes, you read that right) at every turn."
"I know this is impossible to fathom, but Adam Kubert has never been better," the writer said of working with the legendary Kubert. "His mind-blowing layouts - including a motorcycle action sequence for the ages - are beyond comparison. Without giving away any spoilers, this is going to be an explosive and complicated year for the mutants."
This latest Wolverine/Deadpool team-up takes place in the pages of Wolverine #20, and you'll find that issue in all good comic book stores when it goes on sale on April 20.
