This May, Joe Kelly and Adam Kubert are teaming up for Deadpool & Wolverine: WWII! The glob-spanning series will take place over three issues starting on May 1. It’s already a big year for Deadpool with Deadpool & Wolverine, as well as the relaunch of the series in April. This is just icing the cake. Or maybe it’s the whole cake!
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.”
So what’s Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII about?
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)!
Kelly continued, “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.”
