(W) Benjamin Percy (A) Alex Lins
REVENGE OF THE BADPOOLS! If you thought WADE WILSON was bad, wait till you get a load of these horrific offshoots of the Merc With the Mouth! But even more horrific is what they want with Wade — and now BLIND AL!
This past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, writer Benjamin Percy took the stage at the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel to unveil the second half of “Big Guns,” the upcoming four-part crossover between his runs on Wade Wilson: Deadpool and Punisher. Announced last month, “Big Guns,” featuring artwork by series artists Geoff Shaw and José Luis Soares, kicks off in September. Fans can get a special first look at the crossover including the main covers for all four issues, Josemaria Casanovas’ complete four-part connecting cover artwork, and interior pages from the opening chapters!
Across both acclaimed ongoing series, Percy has taken Marvel’s two trigger-happy icons back to their roots with uncompromising, no-holds-barred storytelling, aligning the fates for this dangerous and ultra-violent showdown! “Big Guns” kicks off when Deadpool’s latest mess puts him in the crosshairs of the Punisher. Just as the Merc with a Mouth takes on one of the most high-stakes jobs of his career, Frank Castle seeks to settle the score—igniting a relentless clash of bullets, bloodshed, and mayhem that neither man will walk away from unscathed!
The new covers by Geoff Shaw and David Marquez reveal more deadly players entering the fray including the most dangerous man in the Marvel Universe, Bullseye, and the mysterious supervillain pulling the strings, Black Hole. Plus, the rest of Josemaria Casanovas’ four-part connecting variant covers are revealed, giving fans a glimpse at Wade Wilson’s tricked-out new ride—the Merc Mobile—which will serve as his base of operations moving forward.
