The first Marvel‑DC team‑up in decades lands with mercenary Wade Wilson hired for a Gotham job. Batman watches from the shadows—will he aid the chaos‑engineer or shut him down? Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo team up for a punch‑packed debut you won’t want to miss.

A long‑sought crossover finally materializes: Marvel’s merc with a mouth and DC’s dark detective share a single cover for the first time in years. This one‑shot places Deadpool in Gotham’s grim streets, promising the kind of clash fans have imagined but never seen.

Wade Wilson takes a mysterious contract that lands him smack‑dab in the heart of Gotham. The city’s resident detective, Batman, decides whether to lend his investigative edge or crush the mercenary’s brand‑of‑chaos. The premise sets up a razor‑thin line between collaboration and confrontation, with both heroes testing each other’s limits.

The issue shines thanks to Zeb Wells’s knack for fast‑paced, razor‑sharp dialogue and Greg Capullo’s unmistakable, gritty art that gives both characters a fresh visual vibe. Capullo also handles the cover, making the issue a visual treat. Beyond the main story, the book packs backup pairings—Daredevil with Green Arrow, Captain America with Wonder Woman, and even Jeff the Land Shark teaming up with Krypto—each crafted by standout creators like Kevin Smith, Chip Zdarsky, and Gurihiru.

If the main matchup intrigues you, the Daredevil/Green Arrow backup is a perfect next stop. Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert deliver a street‑level showdown that captures the same witty energy, adding another layer of Marvel‑DC synergy to the issue.

Dive into Gotham with Deadpool’s irreverent swagger and see how Batman responds. Pick up the debut and let this unexpected partnership set the tone for the rest of the month.
