DEADPOOL is a man on the brink, and that means the jobs are deadlier, the stakes are higher, and the humor is darker than ever before. But WADE WILSON isn’t laughing. A dark memory haunts Deadpool, as a mysterious client leads him down a troubling path.
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 acclaimed runs on WADE WILSON: DEADPOOL and PUNISHER.
