Marvel Rolls Out Spider-Man/Deadpool

Sometimes crimefighting requires more than just physical gifts and super-powers. Sometimes crimefighting needs a hefty dose of attitude and humor, and this January readers will have that in spades as Marvel Comics' snarkiest heroes team up in the new ongoing series, Spider-Man/Deadpool!

Hold the chimichangas! Spider-Man and Deadpool? In the same book? You better believe it! Marvel Comics' wisecracking heroes join forces in the bromance super-hero comedy that will have fans talking!

Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness, the team behind the classic Deadpool series of the 1990s, reteam for Spider-Man/Deadpool.  You can expect this team to bring you action, humor, and heart as Marvel Comics' fan-favorite wallcrawler and the Merc with a Mouth collide for some of the greatest super-hero adventures ever. Yes you heard right True Believer: two great heroes that hero great together. Spider-Man/Deadpool #1 (NOV150751) is coming your way, chock full of wallcrawling, wisecracking and bad guy punching!

But what on Earth could be enough bring these two together for a titanic team-up in the merry Marvel manner?                                                            

“I will say that there is an assassination involved, a case of misplaced trust and their names are on the book so they sort of have to show up,” says writer Joe Kelly speaking with Marvel.com on what unites the two. “Seriously, I’m having a blast writing the banter,” Kelly continued, “It’s your favorite buddy-cop movie on steroids if it was written by a swill-minded teenager.”

Spider-Man/Deadpool #1 (NOV150751) is in comic shops January 6.
