Spider-Man is Marvel’s most wisecracking hero. Deadpool is its most wisecracking antihero.
These super-powered smart alecks have met before, but soon they’ll be seeing a lot more of each other. Deadpool loves that. Spider-Man most definitely does not.
Writer Joe Kelly and artist Ed McGuinness, the team that launched the Merc With a Mouth’s first ongoing solo series in 1997, will bring together the swords-wielding, fourth-wall-breaking Wade Wilson and now friendly global industrialist and wall-crawler Peter Parker in the ongoing series “Spider-Man / Deadpool” No. 1, scheduled for a fall release.
“The book is funny, I hope,” said Kelly in announcing the title at Marvel’s “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends” panel Sunday afternoon at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
