The Press Release:
The most intensely mismatched team-up in comics and pop culture, the best there is and the merc with the mouth, undergoes a radical change in an all-new three-part, globe-spanning saga for the ages in DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE: WWIII #1. On stands this May, acclaimed writer Joe Kelly makes his return to Deadpool in the new series 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 from legends Joe Kelly (Deadpool, Uncanny X-Men) and Adam Kubert (Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men)!
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.”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: It’s without question that this is a powerhouse team-up of two majorly popular characters and the creative team is a perfect match so this is sure to be a very interesting limited series. Now as I’ve mentioned, I am not bringing too many single issues into the collection these days but will occasionally investigate the limited series when they hit the racks. I’ve been more inclined to snag the collected editions which seem to come out relatively quickly after a series has completed its run. I’ll see what happens because I loved Kelly’s run on “Deadpool” when he did it and have long been a fan of Adam Kubert. I might be breaking my tradition for this one and that makes me wonder what you all think about it. Freel free to chime in down below with your own thoughts if you’ve got something cool to add to the mix. I’ll be back again soon with more stuff so do stay tuned and keep safe out there.
