Less than a week after debuting the first footage from their upcoming big screen adventure, Marvel has announced that Deadpool and Wolverine will be teaming up for a new comic book series. Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII, a new three-issue limited series, will debut in comic book stores in May 2024.
The series hails from acclaimed writer Joe Kelly alongside legendary artist Adam Kubert. The mysterious Delta believes in change. Change is good. But as he sets his sights on Deadpool, and Wolverine is caught up in the plot, is the third time really the charm, or the curse? Get ready for WWIII to erupt on the scene with the wildest duo in comics!
Speaking to IGN for the announcement, Kelly says “There were so many factors that made me say yes to writing this book. Adam Kubert was number one. I worked with Adam during my early Marvel career and have been a fan of his ever since—both as an artist and a human. So, working with him again? No brainer, yes please.”
“The second reason was Wolverine,” he continued. “As much as this is a buddy-book, Logan is the entry point to the story, which gave me a chance to explore this character I love. His voice, his perspective on the world, all of it gave me a unique way to approach an epic team-up…”
“And then, big number three… there’s the body horror,” he added. “Deadpool and Wolverine together allow for a bloody playground of a story. A tale of self-examination and introspection as told through some seriously jaw-dropping nastiness thanks to Adam’s deft hands. It’s a dark, funny, messy ride I hope everyone enjoys as much as I do.”
Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII #1 comes to comic book stores on May 1, 2024.
