The Unthinkable Has Happened: DC and Marvel Collide in Epic Crossover Comics!
For decades, comic book fans have dreamed of it. Now, it’s finally happening. In an unprecedented collaboration, DC Comics and Marvel Comics are joining forces to bring us the most anticipated crossover event of the year: the DC Marvel Crossover Comics featuring none other than Batman and Deadpool! This is not a drill. Entertainment Weekly broke the news earlier today, confirming that November will see the release of Batman/Deadpool #1 from DC Comics, while Marvel Comics will publish Deadpool/Batman #1 in September. This collaboration has been more than two decades in the making and promises a comic book industry event unlike anything seen before.
This monumental collaboration extends beyond just a single issue, with a larger crossover program between the companies on the horizon. For now, let’s focus on the initial explosive releases. Batman/Deadpool #1 from DC Comics will feature a lead story penned by the legendary Grant Morrison, brought to life by the breathtaking artwork of Dan Mora. This dynamic duo is poised to deliver a narrative that will leave readers stunned. Beyond the main event, expect an exciting lineup of backup stories within Batman/Deadpool #1, showcasing thrilling matchups between beloved characters from both universes. Details on these additional tales and their creative teams are forthcoming, but the anticipation is already palpable.
This landmark crossover marks the first major collaboration between DC and Marvel in decades, bringing together Gotham’s Dark Knight Detective and Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth in an adventure that no one truly expected, yet everyone secretly yearned for. The sheer audacity of this pairing promises something truly unique for both veteran readers and those new to the world of comics.

DC President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee expressed his excitement, stating, “I don’t want to share too much, but it is just a very creative story in the best sense, in terms of what Grant Morrison is known for.” He continued, “Dan Mora, of course, is just killing it right now. He is one of our perennial visionaries, I think, for the DC Universe. His style is just so dynamic, but also very clean and classic. In many ways it’s sort of a fusion of Curt Swan, and maybe Gil Kane. When I see a Dan Mora piece, to me that really sums up where the DC Universe is at right now. I think pairing both Grant and Dan, it was just the perfect choice to bring the story to life. And obviously, you know, Grant, has had seminal runs on both the X-Men and Batman. You know he knows these universes. He knows what makes these characters tick, and he distills it down in a way that is both enlightening and creative and fun. I’m just excited for fans to be able to read his and Dan’s take on this unique crossover.” The history of comic book covers has rarely seen such a significant moment as this.
Grant Morrison themselves weighed in on this incredible opportunity: “I don’t do many comics these days but there was no way I could turn down the chance to work with Dan Mora again, one of my all-time favourite artistic collaborators—and definitely no way I could turn down Batman and Deadpool! Expect 4th wall busting mayhem, owls, blood, blades, and at least one giant typewriter!” This statement alone promises the chaotic, unpredictable energy that fans of both characters adore. It’s clear that the creative team is embracing the unique blend of darkness and humor that these two characters represent.
Dan Mora, equally thrilled, shared his perspective: “This is more than I ever imagined I could do in my career, and it is a huge honor to be part of this crossover: it doesn’t happen too often, and I am a HUGE Deadpool fan! When I first worked with Grant, I didn’t know what to expect but it was an incredible team-up. I always hoped to work with Grant again, and working on Batman/Deadpool is like a dream come true. Grant and I working together on this once-in-a-lifetime project is going to be such a fun experience.” The synergy between these creators is evident, promising a truly memorable reading experience.
