‘Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII’ Fights Across The Globe This May From Kelly & Kubert
by Tony Thornley
It’s a big year for the most famous victims of the Weapon X program. To celebrate, Marvel is bringing Deadpool and Wolverine together again in a new miniseries that also pairs them with two of their most notable creators.
Debuting on May 1, Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII pairs the Canucklehead and Merc with a Mouth on a globetrotting war full of action and bloodshed. The series pairs Joe Kelly– the writer responsible for the Deadpool we know and love today- with Adam Kubert– one of the most iconic Wolverine artists in the character’s fifty year history.
Delta- a mysterious new villain- believes in change. He may be about the change the world, and not for the better. The only chance we have is for Wolverine and Deadpool to go on a blood soaked adventure all across the globe.
On writing the upcoming series, Kelly told IGN, “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. 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. 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.”
